Real story: 1. I would expect to see Richard Phillips, Frank Castellano, Abduwali Muse, Ali Aden Elmi, Hamac, and the other unidentified pirate, and the crew 2. I would expect the plot of the movie to consist of the crew on the ship, the pirates overtaking it, Philipps taken hostage, and the story of how he was rescued. 3. This story is important because it shows the dangers of pirates in that area, and it shows the bravery the crew and Phillips had. 4. The pirates wanted all of the supplies on the boat.

Movie review #1:  Isle of Dogs review: Wes Anderson's latest is a tenderhearted, eccentric canine tale 1. Entertainment Weekly published this review 2. Leah Greenbalt wrote the story 3. I would give this review a 7 out of 10 because it was good, but it was too wordy at times 4. The high points of the movie were his visual wit, talented actors, and plot. 5. The low points of the movie were all of the dark references, which seemed to bleak for a children's movie. 6. " The movie’s darker allegory of persecution and internment isn’t hard to miss, though, and the dogs themselves, with their tactile tufts of fur and Buster Keaton eyes, have an endearing, complicated humanity. In these cotton-wooled times,  Isle  may be deemed too bleak for children, and a warning wouldn’t be entirely wrong; the story, for all its snowglobe-diorama enchantment, doesn’t swerve away from the more ragged realities of poisoned hearts and mangled paws. But the bittersweet singularit...

Over my spring break, I traveled with my family to Florida to Rosemary beach, Seaside, and Seacrest. I went to so many cute stores and restaurants, and I felt like the town had a preppy feel to it. I actually went there two years ago, and I had just as much fun. It was nice because I didn’t spend any time stressing about school and the homework I needed to do. In a typical day, I’d wake up at nine due to the construction above us. That was the one thing that made my trip not as enjoyable, because they were so loud we couldn’t focus. We had to spend the majority of our time outside of our condo because of it. After I’d wake up from construction, I’d usually go to breakfast with my family to a delicious restaurant called Cowgirl Kitchen. They had nachos, migas, and much more yummy food. After breakfast, we’d go down to the beach. Surprisingly, it was very cold, so we’d bring blankets and books to read and sit out on the beach for a few hours. When we’d be done with that, we’d go bac...

Millennials are probably not carrying as many credit cards because they were scared of the 2008 global financial crisis and they are in a lot of debt, and afraid to get more in debt. 4. 'The Shape of Water' won best picture at the Oscars. 5. Chris Marshall, an addiction counselor, wants to make a place that will help people stay social and stay sober at the same time. Long Response: 1. I believe guns should be controlled more quickly because they are designed for war and the military. People shouldn't just be allowed to carry a gun everywhere. It's too easy for people to get their hands on a gun who shouldn't be able to. 2. I think parents would be very upset and I bet a lot of people wouldn't feel safe at this school anymore. I think it would make people go to...
