Thanksgiving free post

I didn't do anything interesting over Thanksgiving break, so I'm just going review the movies I watched:
Lady Bird review: Lady Bird is an independent drama written and directed by Greta Gerwig. It follows a seventeen year old girl who calls herself Lady Bird, as she struggles with finding the right college and growing up. I really loved this movie a lot. It is so well done, and very emotional. I think it speaks volumes that I saw this movie over a week ago, and I'm still thinking about it. I really cannot recommend this film enough. It is so powerful, and very relatable. If you have the time, I would highly recommend you watch it.

Justice League review: Justice League is about the Justice League. I sound a lot more done in this review because I really didn't like this movie. The story was just bland, and I expected more from DC after Wonder Woman was as good as it was. I just don't have much to say about this movie. Ezra Miller and Gal Gadot are great in it, so I guess that makes it worth seeing if you really want to, but don't waste your time if you're not a DC fan. I don't know, I just want DC movies to be better, because I think they have potential. Overall, watch if you really, really, really want to, but if not, don't waste your time.

Gun Control

For my post, I read an article published in The New York Times titled After Gun Control Marches, ‘It’ll Go Away’ vs. ‘We Are Not Cynical Yet’ by Matt Flegenheimer and Jess Bidgood . The article discusses the current movement for gun control, and why this time feels different than previous movement. The authors interviewed a teen that is fighting for gun control, and the authors discussed how they feel this movement is different because most of its strongest advocates are teens, and they are the next generation and the people that will soon be in-charge of the country. I found this article very poignant and well-written, and I completely agree with most of the points made. Gun violence is out of control in America. At this point, something really needs to be done. In the wake of the Parkland shooting, teens are banding together to try to achieve stronger gun-control in the US. I stand with them, and advocate for this to the best of my ability. Last year, more than 14,000 people

An Introduction To Me

A Basic Introduction Hi, ny name is Thomas. This post is going to be an introduction to me, but there's really not much about me to introduce. I love writing, theatre, and film. I am incredibly passionate about a lot of topics, and I love debate. On this blog, I'm hoping to be able to share my opinions on all different types of things. This year in this class, I am hoping to become a stronger writer and to become better at reading comprehensions and discussing books. My goal is to simply do well in this class and do my best on every assignment. I am worried about whether or not I can do this, but I know I can if I really try. So, that's me.

On 9/11: What Hate Will Do

When God Happens  by Mike Rosen For my post, I watched poet Mike Rosen perform his original slam-poem When God Happens , which is about 9/11, and his experience. First off, this poem is stunning in every sense of the word. It is  beautifully written, and Mike Rosen's emotional performance just makes you feel the impact of the event and what the hard reality is ten times harder. I have included a link to his performance, and I would highly recommend watching it. His poem hit me hard, and by the end, I was moved to tears. So, at this point, you might be asking yourself, what is it about this poem that had me so emotional? Well, this poem's message was simple, but important: hate gets us nowhere. In his poem, Mike talks about how he was young when 9/11 happened. Mike's father didn't work near the towers, but Mike didn't know that at the time and he was so worried that his father would never come home. After 9/11, the United States invaded Iraq. We started a wa
