POST B WEEK 3

Dear Tim,
So far in your book I'm getting to the dramatic parts it's really scary and there's gun shots heard sally is still missing because an officer was looking for and he couldn't find her. So, now it's been weeks and no one heard from and he thinks that she's dead and now they go to china and they are looking for her to see if she's there but they find a long lost chapter about her that they are about to uncover and that's were i stopped.

A Civil Action Review

The movie we watched I thought it was awesome because of how it reflected the people in the movie and etc. I liked where Jan Schilctmann aka John Travolta. Because in the beginning he didn’t care about the water problem and how these kids were dieing and then later on he cared and took risk and what not. But the movie was great I wouldn’t mind watching it again.
The dramatic aspects of the film was were they didn’t win any money and people kept on coming in and taking there stuff away and then later on they had problems with wining and etc. but, Mr. Cheeseman was cracking me up because he was reciting a rule were no one would even look back to it and his rule thing was denied. But, the actors played there part really well. The casting choices were good and actors really dug deep into there scenes they made me believe. The costumes I liked a lot because they looked like really life peoples but, the make-up it didn’t look like they had make-up on expect for the lady.
The Cinematic Aspects: The customs were appropriate they looked like real lawyers or civil people to me. Also, they made me believe the story I was into it all the way. The photography was Low Angle on John Travolta thinking about the father who lost his son on the way to the doctors’ office. Also, Long Shot when the bailiff calls out the case about the water killing these young kids. And Medium shot when explaining the water situation in the court room. The camera movement was ok but, it kind of got on my nerves how the camera went back and forth at the scenes. The duration of the shots was ok. The editing was great. The sound was great I mean I can hear great no messed sounded like other movies I’ve seen but the sound was great.
Well the Civil Action movie/All my sons, they are both sad storied because someone dies and the difference is that one is a play and the other is a movie and etc.
I would recommend that play should see this movie because if someone wanted to become and lawyer and what not should watch this movie and also they should take a few pointer and learn.

Post B week:2

Dear Maleeny, Tim:
SO, far in your book it's really dramatic and scary.
But who could blame because your book is called Stealing the dragon:/A cape, it's really interesting where the main character cape weathers keeps having those dreams where he's getting killed by his Enemies and what not. But the part that really where those chinese people where shipped secretly to get from there country to get a better life for there children and for them, but as they were in the boat the crewsmen kept on abusiving and have sexually intercourse with the younger girls and the parents couldn't anything because if they did they would be thrown of the boat and get eaten by the sharks and that wouldn't be a pretty thing. So, as you can see I am at a really dramatic part and i love your book.
Yours Truly Reemieboo...........
