my second best

This movie Freedom Writers is a well done movie produced by MTV Films/ Double Feature Films/ Jersey Film Productions. Includes Swank (Erin or Mrs. G), Patrick Dempsey (Scott), Imelda Staunton (Margaret), and Scott Glenn (Steve and Mrs. G’s dad), April Lee Hernandez (Ava), Mario (Andre), Jason Finn (Marcus), and Hunter Parrish (Ben) this cast along with Richard LaGravenese as director portray the story of teens with the message of that no race or color is better then any other and that respect means nothing when you’re dead.
This movie is telling the story of the class of room 203 in Wilson high school where there used to be just white people until the integration was formed then there was Latinos, African American, Asians, juvenile delinquents, gang members and under privileged and poor students. Everyday there are people killed over race, color, for respect, and for “territory”. Also a lot of these teen that we fallow are a part of a gang so it shows us their life and what they go through and the racial issue then and still even now.
I myself find that in this movie the actors and actresses portray the parts of the underprivileged and the gangs like they were actually these people in every day life their parts would be difficult to do but these people are like no others then I guess.
I seen one other of Richard LaGravenese’s movies it was P.S I Love You, and I do find that this movie wasn’t as good as the other but the other was more comedic then this but this movie was better in the sense that the acting was better and much more believable.

Mr. Carter
Blackville Talon

Dear Mr. Carter,

I would like to apply for the position of a writer for the Blackville Talon in the Entertainment department.

I believe I should get this position due to the fact that I do game a lot (about 10 hrs a day) and I listen to all music I have no bias to no type of music. With gaming I play on all consoles and all types of the games, I also follow all new, soon to be, and past releases of all games for all consoles. I am not biased to any genre of music of games.
In conclusion though I believe I would become a great asset to the Blackville Talon writing crew and I believe you should give me a chance to prove just how good I am.

Sincerely,
Nathan Hetherington

The Snowboarder

“Bang!” I launch from the gate. My heart racing along with me, adrenaline flowing faster than what I’m going. I look around and realize that I am leading going into the first section of the race.

Speeding down the steep hill, all the people around me a blur, all sound just a muffled mess, towards the first part a set of small woops, as I finish the part a huge hill starts into my view and I hit a trick to show off, stalefish 180, I land and take a look behind me just as another rider flies past me, I hunker down and gain speed. Going down, down the hill faster and faster there is a fork so I take the path to the right and there is an enormous hill looming in front of me. At the top of the hill all my muscles and my brain are screaming at me to not hit the hill, at the top of the hill I push off with all my might and do a double back flip and when I land all I can hear is cheers and yelling, as I look and see the rest behind me as we rejoin the rest of the racers I’m back into the lead. Next up is another fork in the trail and I remember that there is a partial pipe or the rail; I turn to the left towards the rail and I take another quick look behind me and see that the rest of the riders have the same idea. Racing down the rest of the last stretch of the hill the only thing standing between me and my new contract with Bird is that rail. I start to realize just how tired I’m getting and every muscle in my legs are screaming at me to stop and rest but I am determined to finish the race. I hit the jump and the world slows down to a crawl just as I land and my board snaps in two, as I go flying into the rails face first. Now all I hear are faint screams and a loud ringing in my ears and as I fall to my back I notice all the rest of the rider and the paramedics rush to me, all I can feel is excruciating pain all though out my head, as I reach up to feel my head I feel on my face and hand a warm, sticky goo and realize it’s my blood, my blood.

The next day I awake to a doctor and he tells me I’m gonna ok and not to ride any more and I just look at him and just tell him “like that’s gonna happen.”
