Woman in Black 2 review

Although this movie starts out slow it becomes more entertaining over time. It wasn't the best horror movie I've seen but its also not the worst. The movie is rated pg13 and doesn't cuss ounce proving cussing doesn't make a good movie.

The movie is based in England during the second world war. The main character Eve takes some kids whose parents can't escape to the country side. They stay at an old broken down house far away from everything but an airfield. They later on became aware there was a paranormal presence in the house. They later fled to the airfield and waited for transportation home. This is when Eve must confront the ghost to save one of the children. Eve and the child show up at an apartment and it looks like Eve has adopted the child.

The movie uses good historical facts about the time period and it was used well to help build the story. It never gives up on the suspense keeping you always ready to get a jump scare. The audience can often be found screaming at these scares.

However the story can be a little slow in the beginning. The movie leaves little time to take a break, that could also be a good thing though. The movie lacks plot twists and is some what predictable. This movie has a minimal amount of faults.

Overall this movie is wonderful and keeps the audience on the edges of their seats. If another movie comes out of the series it would be a good late night showing. I would rate this movie a 4 out of 5 stars. 

liars

Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass are two of the most famous journalists for the wrong reasons. They were both guilty of fabricating or plagiarizing their articles. Jayson and Stephen were both young journalists when they messed up their careers. Blair however copied another journalists articles instead of making them up like glass. Another mistake Blair made was he put incorrect facts instead of what really happened. Both journalists worked for big news companies.  The New Republic and The New York Times both did investigations when their reporters were accused of fabricating or plagiarizing their stories. Neither journalist were watched or thought to be faking their stories until someone accused them of it. They were both recently accused of fabricating or plagiarizing stories.

Stephen Glass story Spring Breakdown
http://wp.lps.org/akabour/files/2013/12/Spring-Breakdown-Stephen-Glass.pdf

  I think the article is really believable because it sounds like something a college student would do. Stephen quotes a lot of people and he includes facts about the cpac. cpac is something that is real and he used people that actually talked at the event. He used college students from multiple different schools so it would be hard to find them so he did not get caught. He was so believable because in the office he was such a nice guy and nobody would think he would make up a story. He wrote what people wanted to hear so everyone was entertained and would not think about if the story was true or not. Another reason Glass got away with it is because he talked about it in first person like he was there instead of in third person. This makes the reader believe he was at the event and witnessed the story happening. He put in a lot of quotes and added a lot of defined detail about what happened. He gave detail that someone would only know if he was there or if he made it up.

Michael Jacksons death

   The topic I picked is the death of Michael Jackson. I will tell you about some of the internet conspiracies, TV news coverage, and newspaper coverage. His death was caused by cardiac arrest but he was also on drugs during this. He had just launched an international tour and had to undergo a four and a half hour physical which he passed. He was addicted to painkillers which started in 1984 when his scalp got burned at a pepsi commercial. The heart attack may have been caused by a drug overdose.






















  One of the leading conspiracy theory is the autopsy is of somebody other the King of Pop himself. Another rumor about the autopsy is that the document was never signed by a doctor. They also believe that he faked his own death to get out of all the pressure of being a pop idol. There have also been a lot of  rumored sightings of Michael. They say he is a master of disguise and that he has put on disguises before. One sighting would be the MJ ghost but they say he could be Michael in an invisible suit. They believe he could be recreating the "Liberian Girl". That was when he gathered Steven Spielberg, John Travolta, and Whoopi Goldberg on to a set and recorded them waiting for him. They think he will end up still alive. This could be some dying hope in trying to keep a childhood idol alive or there could be some fact to this fiction. This is how the internet covered his death.

  Since his death Jackson has been more popular than ever. He has stayed on top of the iTunes biggest-selling artist. Most of the public is in support of Michael and his family, they are also in favor of Conrad Murray being guilty. They believe as Jacksons doctor he is responsible for his overdose. There are two sides of this like in most cases, some people against Jackson and believe Murray should not be blamed for Jacksons own negligence. They believe Michael is to blame for his overdose because he was previously addicted to pain killers. They believe Murray when he said Jackson refused to get off of the sleeping sedative.

 

 

  One major paper that covered Jackson's death is The New York Times. They started with his career history, going from a "musical boy wonder" to a '' sad figure haunted by lawsuits, paparazzi, and failed plastic surgery''. It than goes on to talk about his death. The next thing it goes on about it talks about the trail and the verdict on Murray's case. Another news station CNN covered it like this. First it talks about where and when Michael was pronounced died. It then goes on to talk about Jacksons family and how they feel about it and what they thought of Micheal.

  One thing they did right is they covered how, when, and where Michael died. Another thing they did is they interviewed his family. The thing they did wrong is they left a lot of room for rumors to start up, they also left a lot of loose ends.

Three Stories You Sholud Read About

    The first story I think you should read about is Lebron James going back to the Cleavland Cavilers. I think you should read this story because not a lot of people know and understand why he went back but judge him anyway. Another reason is because a lot of players signed with the Cleavland Cavilers Because Lebron signed with the team. One player for example is Kevin Love who was previously with the Minnesota Timber wolves.
   The second story I think you should read about is sneaker reviews about the new Jordan XX9's. I think you should read this story is so you can learn what the price is and if it is worth that price. This is good to read if you are into shoes I personaly like shoes so I read shoe reviews a lot. I read these to know if they would be good shows to play basketball in.
   The third and final story I think you should read about is the effects of music while doing work. I think you and all teachers should read about this because i know a lot of students that work better while listening to music. I personaly work better and get more done when I listen to music in fact I was listening to music when I typed this paper.I think as long as students have headphones they should be able to work while listening to music.

Introduction

         My name is Christopher Horn I am currently fourteen years of age. My favorite sport, hobby, and entertainment is basketball. Some of my favorite basketball players are Paul George, Ray Allen, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Anthony Davis. I am currently a freshmen. I am taking geometry for my math class even though most freshmen take algebra 1. I am in Spanish 1 I would say that is probably the hardest class I am currently taking because I have to relearn every thing I learned in English. Next should be English while I am on the subject I am currently taking English 1. For social studies I am taking twentieth world history. I am taking computer applications I do not know why but that is a class I was put in it is not as bad as I thought it would be. I wanted to be in cooking but I was put in art instead. I dropped that class and now I am in journalism. For my science class I am taking conceptual physics. My two passions is basketball and shoes. Some of my favorite shoes are the Jordan infrared 6's, the Jordan XX9's, lebron 10 low easters, lebron 7 solders, nike air force ones, foam posites, nike air max 95's, kd 7 calm before the storm, jordan future hyperjades, and jordan carmike 6's. If I had to sign with either jordan or nike I would sign with jordan because I like their shoes better. If I had to pick any NBA team I would pick the celtics.

partner interview

      I interviewed Baylie I learned she is fifteen, plays softball. Her favorite sports team is the Chicago Bears,we share favorite football teams. Her favorite athlete is Jennie Finch. She spends her free time by volunteering at a local retirement home. She spends her free time an her social media accounts like on her Instagram. She prefers Instagram over Twitter, I would have to agree with this statement. She is a fan of cats and likes Nike rather than Jordan, however her favorite shoe is Converses. She has one brother and attended Merill Middle School. Her color of choice is purple, I however prefer green but purple is a close second. Her most celebrated holiday is Halloween, her movie choice would be Rocky Horror Picture Show. She adores Skittles just like how she adores world history class. She however is not so fond of Spanish class, I agree with this because spanish has so many new rules and words that I have to learn just to pass the class. Her favorite band is Shine down but her favorite song is dear agony by Breaking Benjamin. This is all i have found out about this very nice and sweet young lady.
