Best Movie of 2008
There were a lot of great movies in 2008, but the one that caught my eye the most was Gran Torino. Clint Eastwood is an excecptional actor/producer/direcot. (Yes he was the producer and director). With this being his last movie, you can really see he went ball's out. The great thing about this movie is that it was funny, suspenseful, sad, happy, great life lessons and depressing. It had all the genres. I loved it! Once it comes out, I am definitely buying it!!!!

President Obama
On January 20, 2009, President Obama gave a speech, a speech that will go down in this history books. He said that this is a New Era of responsibility in difficult times. I will have to agree with this statement. Our America is in a time of financial crisis and needs more security with our money.
Nationally, our country is hurting fiscally. We are in so much dept. Obama's statement is correct in the fact that our country is going to have to take on different responsibilities. These responsibilities include being more careful with our financial deposits, being more weary of stocks, etc.)
Locally, I see a lot of my close family friends losing jobs and moving out of their houses, that they worked so hard and so long to have, just because they did not take care of their money well enough. This is sad to see, but it is not just happening here, it is happening all over the U.S. There is so much more responsibilities now that money is low. People need to take care of their fiscal better.
Personally, I need to start saving money for the future. My responsibilities are to not to buy things I don't need. Only things I need to survive. Also, I know these are difficult times, so I need to get the best education I can so I don't have to be one the people who gets kicked out of their house, a person making well over minimum wage.

Hamlet as a character
I believe that Hamlet is a victim of circumstance. Hamlet's father was brutally murdered by his Uncle. Hamlet is incapable of action because his Uncle is the king and his Uncle has all the power and loyalty from his country. I believe that Hamlet is confused between intelligence and insanity. Hamlet lost his father and knows that his Uncle murdered him. Also, he is a very bright person. So with that in fact, I believe that Hamlet is smart and intelligent, but, can be a the brink of insanity.

Essay #2
Stepparents
On television, stepparents and step-children are usually depicted as the pro and con of a relationship. Meaning, that the relationship between the two are usually not well. I have no experience with stepparents so I could not tell you how it is and how it feels. I have full respect for what stepparents do for their step-children. Love comes in all shapes and forms. It's all in the heart and how much effort you give to the person you care about.
In television, depictions are misjudged. On t.v., the watcher can see a distraught teenagers being taken care of by inexperienced stepparents. T.V. shows how crummy of a life a teenager would have if they were to be living with stepparents. But that's Hollywood. I believe, from my friends experiences, there is mutually respect between the both. I mean sure, in order for a child to have stepparents, there must have been an awkward or distraught event happen to them. I feel for the children. T.V. depicts not the reality but the thought of most Americans.
Love comes in all shapes and sizes. There are so many ways to give love, receive love, and show it. I have full and utmost respect for parents who want to bring a helpless child into their lives. You don't have to blood related to show love. Love comes from deep inside you. The reader of this essay should be told that love can be shown by trust and respect. I
The positive aspects of a step-relationship are that you get to communicate and be loved by a whole other family. The step-children would have to learn to adapt to a whole environment. Also, the stepparents would have to love someone who wasn't blood-related. It would be amutually experience for the both of them.
Step-relationship are a new experience for everyone. It gives the chance for two different people to come as one and love each other. I have no experience, but I can say that I have full respect for all the families that are not blood-related.

Essay #1
Madness in great ones must not unwatched go.
Madness, in general, shall not go unwatched. In today's world, society has been involved with many events with the cause of madness. Everything from serial killers, leaders and the normal people can never be taken for granted. Madness can control a person's mind, body and sense. Madness shall be watched in all ages, great ones, and even checks and balances.
Madness can take over any age. Some young, some old. Either way, society needs to keep a close watch. Children and teenagers of all ages can grow up to be in the state of madness. It depends on how their home life has been affected. For example, Ottis Toole, an infamous serial killer, who had a tough early life, became affected when he was only young. Matter of fact, he ended a man's life at the age of fourteen. When a child doesn't get the attention and support
he needs, he can become "mad." Ottis Toole's mother was drunk, disowned him as a child and was sold for one bottle of alcohol. These events caused the upbringing of a monster.
Great ones can have madness and need to be watched vigorously. In our past times, the world has been manipulated by many great leaders. Hitler, a German leader, is a great example. He guiltly murdered millions of innocent people coming from jewish decent, homosexuals and mentally disfunctionally people. Also, Suddam Hussein, who also murdered thousands of innocent iraqis. These two "mad men" should have not gone unwatched. Suddam Hussein dictatored for more than 20 years and was never watched. To the press he was a bad dictator. Behind the scenes, he was still a bad dictator but also was murdering innocent lives without anyone watching.
A dictator is a person who has full power over a government. Checks and balances keep one person from having all the power of a certain government. In the United States, our government has checks and balances. They are known as the judicial, executive and legislative powers. Each sector has its own responsiblities and pwer. Not one is has more and greater power over the other. An example of no checks and balances is Suddham Hussein. Suddham ruled as a dictator, having all the powers of the government. He turned Iraq into a "hellhole." If checks and balances were in order for that type of government, there would have been seperated powers. Suddham Hussein would not have been able to murder innocent lives.
Madness can come in all shapes and sizes and can come in at any age and should never be unwatched. Also, "Great Ones" can become mad with power and take advantage of properties they control. All madness should be watched for.

Thinker or Doer
I believe I am both a thinker and a doer. I love to think of new ideas and creations and I love to create. A thinker is a person who has ideas in their mind and creates new ones. A doer is a person who gets the job don no matter what circumstances.
What appeals to me is believing that I can create things from my ideas. I love to create things and put them to work. I love to draw. Drawing is one of many. Also, when I have an idea I just don't think of it. I put it on a piece of paper or I create it.
Another definition of a thinker is a person who thinks before their actions. Other than a doer, who just thinks of something and does it, not thinking about the consequences that lie ahead. I believe, in this state of mind, that I am a thinker definitely. I think before I do something. I think it's dumb just going on and doing something and not think of the punishment.
I am a full-time thinker and a part-time doer.

Parents and Spying
I believe parents have the right to spy on their children. Parents have every right to know. Children belong to their parents until they are formally and mature enough to live by themselves. Parents should be able to know when and where their children are and where they are going. Checking on their children is not a crime. They have every right.
I mean, if a child is mischievious, a parent should have the right to now if what that child is doing. It's more like a parole. But parents do have the right.
From my prospective, if my parents wanted to spy on me, I would have to admit it would be very uneasy for me that they were doing that. But if they have a reason I would have to agree unwillingly. Parents have the right to spy on their children.
Pare tns have the right to spy on their children to a cerain point. Parents shouldn't be able to take advantage of the fact they can spy. I'm just saying they can spy, but to an extent.
