The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is one of my favorite books that I have ever read. I also enjoyed the movie very much, but just like with other movies based on novels, I wasn't fully satisfied with it. The movie has a run time of 1 hour and 31 minutes, which I think is okay. A common thing I see between books, and movies based on books is that there is always something missing. That is what makes the movies, based on books, I watch just being a shy bit away from making me fully happy. The first thing I feel is missing is at the beginning. In the book, Ponyboy introduces the gang: Sodapop, Darry, Dally, Steve, Two-bit, and Johnny. However, in the movie, they were not introduced at all, so we didn't really know much about any of them. People who have read the book might understood the characters without them having to be introduced, but not everyone would have read the book, or remembered while watching the movie. For me, it wasn't much of an issue, having I just r...
Hello parents, families, teachers, staff, fellow classmates, and future graduates of Golf Middle School. Today is the day of endings and beginnings. The ending of our life at middle school. The ending of being a kid. The ending of not having to think about the future. The ending of living in a small world. But, as Senator Orrin Hatch said, “Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning.” I believe today is the beginning of a newfound freedom for all of us. The beginning of seeing the world with a bigger viewpoint. The beginning of our moms realizing that in a few years, they won't have to do our laundry anymore. The beginning of new friends, and adventures. Of exploring new places. Of learning about what life really is. Each of us didn't get here alone. We stuck together so that we could stand here today. No matter all the hard work, the deadlines, and drama. We persevered and got through it all. I want to thank all my teachers who helped my classmates and I reach this poin...
Not too long ago, I was watching a video on YouTube. It was about something called antimatter. Some people know about antimatter, but some people don't. For the people who don't know, an antimatter atom is the opposite of a normal atom. A normal atom has a positive nucleus, and negative electrons. Since antimatter is the opposite of a normal atom, it basically has a negatively charged nucleus and a positively charged electrons. The weird/cool thing is that just one gram of antimatter is very expensive. You might think that very expensive for one gram is like 1 million dollars. But, it's actually $25 BILLION. In the video I was watching, it said that antimatter is very useful, but is also hard to contain. If an antimatter atom comes into contact with a normal atom, so much energy is released that it could blow up and destroy the surrounding area. Something that I don't understand from the video is how the scientist co...
Nice Job :)
