It was Easter break of my junior year in high school. I had just finished recovering from a catastrophic injury that I had received while playing football. I had broken my ankle and needed to have a plate and seven screws put into it. It was difficult mentally and physically to come back from being my whole life basically, revolves around athletics. Having my life being impacted by this incident alone I was having a tough time from getting my mind straight. Only my parents helped me realize what…
In the forward of *Thinking in Pictures,* renowned British neurologist, Oliver Sacks, describes Temple Grandin's work as "a deeply moving and fascinating book because it provides a bridge between our world and hers, and allows us a glimpse into a quite other sort of mind." (xviii) Grandin's writings offers readers a rare and luminously clear account of her internal world. Her mind seems to function in distinctly different ways than those of non-autistics, and these differences are both…
of speed and adrenaline to the movie. Every time that Andrew is playing drums we see fast-moving scenes. His state of mind is reinforced with the dominant camera movements which are tilt shot, dolly in/out, tracking, pan shot, follow shot and dolly zoom. They are used like a subjective point of view. An interesting observation is that the director uses hand-held camera in dramatic scenes (when something bad is happening or is about to happen). So every time that we see this technique the…

bet my friend Megan she would not eat a dog treat and she did. She claimed it tasted like bacon and rotten fish. When Oakley gets really excited, he runs as fast as he can through the dining room and living room. My mom calls it "zoomies" because he zooms around the house. My family gets really excited and runs with him when he does it. When we washed him and he ran around, our house smelt like wet dog until he was fully dry. Oakley has made me more responsible and has made me a happier…
The screams blend in with the noises from the other coasters as we screech down the track toward the loop. I feel my stomach drop out from under me as we zoom through the coaster. There it is! I think. The finish! Whew! The drop is finally over! Momentum from the drop slings our car up the track and in a straight line toward the loop. “Oh, my, gosh!” my brother says.

Made with the Watergate scandal fresh in Americans' minds, "The Conversation's" plot focuses on sound recording. And interestingly, director…
