The Speaker




I really enjoyed this speaker that we went to today. It actaully made me really sad. Its weird seeing all these people that have nothing and whose family members die daily and then look at us. we have so much compared to them. There are so many children that die and i know that i know that but it was just a wake up call when i actually saw the pictures of them. I thought it was really cool taht this woman would give up her carrer in fashion photography though so go over there and help. She wants more people to be aware of whats going on in the world and not just be consimed wiht america which i think is awesome of her.

Benjamin Button

I really enjoyed this movie and i thought you would too ms. clinch. despite the fact that it was 3 hours long, it still kept my attention. i did some research on it and found out that it is based off of one of Fitzgearleds short stoires. I read it and it is quite similar. There were some details that were different but other than that it was basiclally the same.

i dont want to ruin the story for anyone but basically its about a kid who is born as an old man and then gets younger as he ages. its a really weird concept to grasp at first but i really liked it. i actaully felt really bad for Benjamin. It really made me appreaciate life and how you age and get older reather than younger. You see how people always complain about getting older, but really thats how it should be. i loved the movie and recommend it to anyone but there is a lot of talking and its long.
