For those of you looking to comment for english honors, this is my post for tonight/ Tuesday May 22 . I decided to do this one just for fun the other day, because I like critiquing movies :). So, here it goes.
Sometime last week, I went to see a play with some friends, then headed over to Yogo Factory by the Cinnemark in Somerdale. After Yogo, I ran into some friends who invited me to see the late night Avengers with them. Of course, I said yes. I am usually on of the last of the human race to see movies like this so soon, and I am surprised I got to see this already.
I ended up taking a young freshman friend, who I consider a baby brother, along with me to see the movie. After paying for his ticket, the brat told me I looked wierd.I should have smacked him in the face. Anyways, we didn't get home until around 2 am. I didn't go to bed until 4. So if you do not like long, action films- this is not for you.
Avengers was very entertaining, but I reccomend watching the individual superhero movies or reading the comics before seeing this. The team consists of Black Widow, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye, and the Hulk. Also starrring the aweful Loki. The only movies I had seen before hand were the Hulk, and Captain America. One of the lead roles was played by Scarlett Johansson, "that girl that doesn't do anyting but be sexy." Scarlett's role was Natasha Romanoff/ the Black Widow, from Iron Man. I have not seen Iron Man yet, but I feel as though her character was a little unessecary. Even so, the film was still good. Of the 2 individual movies I had seen before hand, my understanding of the film was almost 100%.
There were many many funny parts, I found myself giggling throughout the whole movie. The humor between the superheros and their differences, as well as the superheros and the human race, keeps this sort of lightheartedness that made me laugh alot. All the main characters had this witty, love hate sense of humor with each other. Just wait until you see the fight with Iron man, Thor, and Captain America! I will not give away the end though, it was a great. You have to go see it yourself! :) As Marvel Comics fan, I enjoyed it.
Tips- If you want to save yourself some money, don't see it in 3D. The 3D was quite awesome of course, but not all the difference if you're a broke, future college student like me.
Next on my list: catch up on both Iron Mans, see Thor, and, when it arrives in Theatres- The Amazing Spider Man. I always say, what's Spider Man without Toby and Kirsten, but the new Spider Man is just as hot, or even hotter. ;) He's my favorite, can you tell?

"Homecoming"
514/2012.
I am reading this wonderful book that my Aunt lent me called Homecoming, by Cynthia Voigt.
Written in 1981, this novel is about four children, who are not exactly runaways but who have been abandined by their mother who is crazy, and later found in a hospital, unresponsive. The children are now on their own, much like the Boxcar Children , and need to make money, in order to have supplies to endure their long journey to find "home." what is home, to you? Is it Heaven, or is it the home you live in, with your loved ones? Or do you even consider that place with your loved ones a home, because maybe life there isn't that great? I'm sure you can all relate.

In this case though, the children are in search of a place to settle down, to live, and be loved, and grow up. Just like all children wish for, if they do not already have it. So they set out on journey, first to find the only relative they know, their great Aunt Cilla, who they discover is dead. After doing some research and hard work on the only relatives they have left, things don't work out with Aunt Cilla's daughter, cousin Eunice. So they flee to find their Grandmother, Abigail. This is where I left off in the story.
My favorite part is the strengthening feeling I get when I read about all the scarey things the children endure on their own, and how they suffice with so little, escape all the troubles right when they think they should give up, and the biggest thing- stay together. Dicey, James, Maybeth and Sammy, all must stay together as a family- that is their main goal. So far, so good :).
If these children can live on their own- so can I.
I have, last summer, to be exact. I lived on my own for 3 months, and only saw my parents twice. This was right about the time my Aunt lent me the book, because the storty took place part time in Maryland, where I left to work housekeeping. I am just now reading the book, though she meant for me to read it durning my lonely times last summer. It is a great read.
I am ready for college, my friends.
