Documentary Reflection
Making a documentary, on a certain topic, in a group, was a new experience, that taught me a lot.

One thing that I learned from this eperience, is that there is no time to lack off. It all...

SOTKP
Some of the Kinder Planets, ( SOTKP) by Tim Wynne-Jones is definitely different than stories I read. All the stories take place in Canada, and have a unique twist to them. The stories I usually read are horror stories, and they are usually very realistic, and non-imaginative. Contrast to SOTKP which has its on twist of an “off Beat” sense of humor. Meaning, some humor doesnt really...

Where the The Wild Thing's are
I don’t think this movie is going to be a succsess for a few reasons. The monsters look to realistic, and will scare small chidren, which would be the targeted audience, which is from 3-8. I love the book, and think it has been very successful, but I’m afraid they might ruin it with the movie.

I think Aphrodite is very unique, and a very important goddess, the goddess of love. I am very loving, and just like her think that love, and treating people with respect/love is very important to a true frienship, or strong relationship. Aphrodite is seen as gentle, fierce, pure, and beautiful which made her a great goddess, that I would love to Portray.

I definitely think that someone who commits a murder shouldn’t be fully trusted, but it depends on the situation.

Touching Spirit Bear reflection'
I do not believe in the Circle Justice system, and I do not think it helps in any shape, way, or form. There is no way to tell if someone is telling the truth. For example stranding Cole Mathews on an island for a long period of time is not strict enough, because they are just assuming he is going to tell the truth. I think that this treatment isn’t strong enough for what he did. I dont...
Reflection of Alexander the Great

He took ruling to a whole new level meaning ruling, while being respectful. Alexander was obviously a very ambitous person, which made him strive to meat his goals, with great pride. I like how alexander mixed cultures, and beliefs...

Sometimes, It’s frustrating how people turn such a little issue into a huge one. But, I have to say, sometimes It’s necessary to confront them in an...
