Even tough I'm not that old, I can't take the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seriously at my age. I watched this film to take a trip down nostalgic…

    standing on the opposite side may view it is a “9”. The way someone looks at something isn’t the only way to see it. There is no right or wrong way to view something because it all relies on your cultural background and how one was raised to see the world.

For example, if you had a baby blanket that you’d had forever, then it would, more than likely, mean more to you than others. Some things people as treasure may hold certain memories or experiences that other people don't understand. In the story, Walter Dean Meyer states that Lemon Brown inherited the harmonica and newspaper clippings after his son…
