Georgia Paraskos - Rats rats we're the rats we prey at night we stalk at night we're the rats I'm the giant rat who makes all the rules

I had no idea what to do for this blog. Usually, I try to do something quirky or stupid and it comes to my mind pretty quickly when I don't think too hard but- well actually yeah that's pretty much how this blog happened too.
But I was thinking (don't get too excited). How many movies are about rats???? Or mice???? I have the answer folks, too many!!!! And I'm pretty sure we've all seen most of them!!!! So I decided to rate them!!!! This is a current event because it includes my current feelings about movies and that totally counts!!!!

  1. Ratatouille- It would be stupid of me to not start with this one. Which is why I'm not starting with this one get JUKED
  2. Ratatouille- I actually am going to rate this one first. In an online review, someone said "Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef, but his family reminds him of one major hurdle: He's a rat" and I relate so hard to that. The crust scene is magnificent and the thumb guy has the greatest emotional depth I've ever seen in a Pixar character. I once made ratatouille and it was not very good but the movie makes it look so delectable so I think they get some points there too. 10/10.
  3. Stuart Little- I think I've only seen this in classrooms when the teacher is absent or its the end of the school year. That being said, it's a classic and Stuart has a lot of drip that frequently gets overlooked. That being said, I do barely remember a scene that freaked me out. 2/10
  4. The Secret of NIMH- I didn't remember this one either but if you look it up (it's ok you don't have to) I kind of remembered it but I rate it 'fever dream.' 6/10
  5. The Tale of Despereaux- This one is so good and the rat do be a little ugly doe but his personality is beautiful and the blind rat is so cool!! And the soup scene!! 9/10
I also initially made a vlog for this month but I didn't think it was worthy but I'll attach it anyway.

    I think reading movie reviews in French has helped you become a movie critic because these reviews are written very well.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. 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...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
