Craig Mullaney definitely made many challenges for himself and accepted challenges from others with no questions asked. Being the thriving Valedictorian of his high school class and earning other prestigious accolades he stood out from the other entire student. But at West Point, Mullaney would be intertwined with hundreds of other classmates with the same, if not more achievements, making it seemingly impossible to be any kind of a predominant student.

In a nutshell, the movie goes through the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu. For a living, he performs autopsies.

Three or four weeks ago (unknown date), Destiny called her father crying, her mother was cursing and saying that she was not going to stay with her father. On Saturday (three weeks ago), Christopher went to the home and saw blood and a nail mark on the victims head, right above her right eye, where Christy had been poking Destiny with her finger. Also, there were finger prints around her neck, and Destiny said Christy was trying to “slang” her around the living room, but Christy said she was trying to get her off the couch. As they were leaving, Christy told the victim

Robert Zemeckis twisted a once cold, tense, harder times into light-hearted, more happy of a life rather than sticking to Winston Groom’s version. The fact that he changed such a hard and dramatic story into something soft

She travels back in time to the slavery time and experiences it. She is scared of being in prison and crowded with the slaves with chains. She is in a bad situation because she never comes across this before. Then the scene moves to another slave, Shola. Her owner rapes Shola and forces her to do the farm work. At that time, the slaves do not have time to rest and do not have enough food to eat. They were treated as animals instead of humans. Shola’s lover encourages her to kill her owner but she does not because she thinks that is wrong. She is kind hearted and will not kill her owner even if her owner do harm to her and rape her many times. What impressed me most in this film is the story about a pregnant slave. The scene is so bloody and all the audiences will not forget it. The slave tries to run away from her owner but she fails, she is caught and beaten to death. What’s more, her baby was taken out of her body after her died. That is so cruel but reveal the true side of the slavery system. The slavery system is just about the murder, rape, enslavement and oppression. The dark side of the slavery system is far larger than the bright side. The traders, slave-owners and slaveholders make great profits from the slave trade but leave sufferings to the slaves. The stories in the film are based on the truth of the slavery time and there must be more cruel history that we do not know. The traders,

Throughout the year I’d head to class and feel as if I wasn’t learning much, but reflecting back upon the year, this statement is completely invalid. Without even making her students feel the drag of homework as well as writing and reading, she was capable of taking a standardized class to the next level. This past year for English felt as if it was a step back on the requirements of course load compared to last year. As a student of this age an honors class is defined as one that is filled with numerous assignments and a constant flow of deadlines to live up to; but, Mrs. Baxter showed the creative side to learning which had been halted once we hit roughly sixth or seventh grade. She had openly told us that she doesn’t promote the use of testing

This movie was one of the best movies I have ever seen because it displayed a lot of vivid images and it made me understand what slavery was like on this journey with Soloman. There are many scenes where I will never forget because of its inhumane violence. It is astonishing to know that Soloman was one of the few victims who regained freedom and wrote a book about his experiences which helped a lot of us understand the darkest side of slavery.

The Movie, Apocalypto is a movie in which, takes place in the early 1600s, before Englishman stepped on the land, which now is known as North America. At this time, natives roamed the land and have their own cultures across the land. The Mayan Kingdom is one of these tribes that lived here and is at the top of power. The people there are suffering from diseases that are wiping out many of its citizens and convinced by the leaders, that the only way to stop it is to conduct sacrifices to their gods so they can lift this trouble off their hands.

This film shares the story of a runaway slave, Samuel Woodward, and his grandfather who was captive during the slave trade. They do this by providing the struggle Samuel went through to as he pursued freedom and the hardship his grandfather went through on the slave

Giving up anything for the enrichment of others is very rare today. Most people don’t try to sacrifice their time, possessions and lives to help another. Some short stories, however, like “Gwilan’s Harp”, “The Washwoman” and “The Last Leaf”, demonstrate sacrifice by loss. Gwilan’s Harp, by Ursula K. LeGuin, exemplifies how Gwilan loses her harp, but starts to serve others. “The Washwoman”, by Isaac Singer, shows how a washwoman teaches the author about perseverance and fulfilling promises by loss. Finally, “The Last Leaf”, by O Henry exhibits the sacrifice of all when Behrman saves Johnsy’s life but dies in the process. These examples show how one should serve, teach, and save others by one’s loss.
