Movie Reviews By Charlotte Putnam

-
Being stuck in my house has caused me to watch A LOT of movies to entertain myself, or have something interesting to talk about. So here is a review on just a few that I have watched. Dead Pool 1 and 2 9/10 I thought both of these movies were super funny. They have some scenes people might not particularly like if they aren't a fan of blood, but I enjoyed these a lot. I was super entertained. Within the first five minutes of the first movie I was already laughing. There were definitley some offesive jokes and bad language so watch out for those, and don't watch these movies with younger kids, but otherwise it was quite entertaining. Bambi 8/10 I may be 16, but I still LOVE disney. And I love watching old disney because those are the best movies. Bambi was a really good movie and the characters were adorable.

This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

"Motels and Emancipation" by Kavya Kamath

Yes, this is another short story/creative writing piece. No, I'm not sorry. (Are you tired of them yet?) So, you may be wondering how this relates to something we've done in class. (I was too, initially.) Well, our first unit was on structure so I experimented with the structure of this story, isolating certain lines for emphasis/effect (and whatnot). Hope you enjoy the story! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Motels and Emancipation           Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.           The soft plunk of water droplets sliding in through the crack in the roof plopped noisily into a tin can.           Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.           The drips coincided with the loud analog clock mounted on the wall to his left. He couldn’t help but crack a smile. He was right, time and mother ...
