The Way Back

set in stone it is the future that is in constant flux as it is determined by the effect of the present. Under normal circumstances the previous statement would be absolute. However, what if there was a way to make the past the present and the present the future. What if there was a way to go back to the past and alter the events that were meant to proceed the…

Though Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future is extremely successful in being a fun, blockbuster film, it does a very job in how it crafts the relationships between specific characters. Though Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is facing a struggle to get back home, there’s another struggle occurring in the movie between his father, George (Crispin Glover), and town bully, Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson). By tracing their acting and relative staging of these two in certain shots, a narrative between them…

Looking down he said, "He doesn 't work here. Kind of drives me nuts sometimes, but..." "I heard that you oversized galoot!" Rich didn 't even respond "That 'll be $297.87." I paid rich while we could hear the back door close behind the old man and I was on my way. Masculinity and pieces about men are no different. Where do you fall on the scale? Are you young or old? Have you seen and experienced a lot versus a more limited exposure? Are you rugged and have toughed it out with the best…

If you’re squeamish, turn back. This isn’t a good place for you to be. If not, well, it’s possible that I’m going to change that. So listen up and listen quickly. It’ll be over before you know it. I used to love popping zits. There were days where all I could do was stand in front of my bathroom mirror and pop what pimples dared to show on my skin. The problem was, as far as my face goes, I have almost none there. But when it came to my body, there were quite a few problem areas I could attack.…

later we were doing drills. Coach Jose would hit the ball to us, lets us catch it, then throw it back to him within five seconds. the ball came in a little too hot and smacked into Blake’s lower stomach. He was knocked to the ground and could not get up. He was so hurt he did not show up to the next practice. When Blake came back there was a change in the ambiance. He was no longer fun,he would talk back to the coaches and was just rude to everyone. “What’s up with him?” my friend Matt Asked. …

I walk up the stairs with a backpack that feels like there are bricks inside that belong on the side of a house, wishing that I had enough time to go to my locker between my classes so my backpack wouldn’t weigh so much. I have no time to go to the restroom either, so I plan on asking in class to go. I hope that I that I don’t miss Mr. Chesterton go over the study guide while I’m in the restroom. At Awty we must extend time in between classes kids don’t have enough time to get books from their…
