Long Response-
The relationship between the U.S. and Russia right now are not looking too good. Trump is not getting along well with Putin which is causing some major problems. The attacks that occurred in Syria have been a major cause to this too. I think that the conflict that occurred in Syria has had a key role in this shift. Trump's decision to bomb them was not a good idea. I think that this situation could either resolve itself, or cause another war between us which is not a good option at all. If there is a war, people I know could be drafted for a war. I think that would be really scary and I hope that I am not drafted because I could not survive in a war. This could also affect me if Russia bombs us or attacks us on American turf.

Movie Prep

1. Captain Phillips, Chief Engineer Mike Perry, Navy SEALS, Ali Aden Elmi, Hamac & Abduwali Muse.

2. The ship would be headed in the general direction of Africa, carrying cargo and manned by Phillips and Perry, as well as other crew members. It then would get hijacked somewhere off the coast of Africa. The Maersk Alabama would sink the pirates' ship, but they would get on the boat. The crew of the boat would lock themselves in the engine room, and trap one of the pirates with them. The pirates would try to escape, and they would take the Captain hostage to try to exchange him for their friend. Then, the pirates would try to escape in their boat, but it wouldn't start, so the crew would drop the lifeboat to get back Captain Phillips. The pirates would take the boat and the Captain before the crew could do anything.  The crew would call many people to get it solved, and the movie would end with 3 of the pirates getting shot and killed, and Captain Phillips escaping.

3. This story was important because it shows that this is a real issue, and people should be aware of it. Also, it is very dramatic and eventful.

4. The pirates wanted the ship because they wanted the cargo on it, as well as machines and such. They were trying to rob the ship to make money.

Free Write

The most beautiful smile i've ever seen was when I met him for the first time. I'm not going to name this boy, i'll keep calling him "him" for the rest of the story. When I first method we had planned to meet up and I saw him from across the room. He was standing there by himself with no other people around him and I felt the urge to be next to him in that moment. I walked up to him and saw he was almost my height and I remember giggling to myself because i'm only 5'2.

Movie Reviews

Rogue One Review
1. Disney
2. Tony Gilroy, Chris Weitz
3. 10
4. It has a strong female lead that we need for young women to look up to.
5. It isn't that connected to the other movies, I mean it is but the orignal plot is hidden and modernized. 
6. "What the film really lacks is a strong and vigorous male lead (such as Han Solo or John Boyega's Finn in The Force Awakens) to balance more equally with Jyn and supply a sparring partner. None of the men here has real physical or vocal stature, nor any scenes in which they can decisively emerge from the pack in a way that engages audience enthusiasm. Both Luna and Ahmed have proved themselves repeatedly in big-screen and television performances, but their characters never pop here, to the film's detriment. And given that Jyn is rather less gung-ho and imposing than was Ridley's Rey, there's an overall feel of less physical capacity on the part of the main characters."

Smurfs Review

1. Peyo
2. J. David Stem, David N. Weiss, Jay Scherick, David Ronn
3. 8
4.The themes of feminism and girl power are very strong throughout the movie.
5. It isn't an adult movie, it's a young audience appeal, but the messages are good for them too
6. "Sony Pictures Animation has gone back to the well and unapologetically left adults behind for the third entry in their Smurfs franchise. Discarding the combination of live-action and animation that marked the first two efforts, Smurfs: The Lost Village is strictly animated and geared only for younger viewers. The reboot directed by Kelly Asbury (Shrek 2) should please its target audience while providing little entertainment value to any adult chaperones who appreciated Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria’s enjoyably over-the-top turns in the first two films."

I do not believe that Obama ordered any kind of suverlliance on Trump. I believe that Trump says these kinds of things to kind of shadow his own mistakes and problems that he has. With the whole ties with Russia drama with Trump, I think he wants to make someone else look like the bad guy. There is no real evidence that Obama spied or cheated with anything, these are all accusations that the FBI need to check. Trump should apologize in he did nothing wrong, because accusing someone of huge crimes is very disrespectful, especially if you are the president of the united states. If Trump refuses, it just shows what kind of person he is. What kind of person want him as president?

CE #5.3

1. The bill says that any employee that witnessed any signs of sexual assault would be required to speak out about it.
2. Khalid Masood3. He said that the election was basically given to the winner because the most qualified was disqualified form the race.4. "These include suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related deaths such as liver failure."
5. I wouldn't want to see it on my own but my friend really wants to see it, so I guess.

Long Response-
The story is about Brynn Aylor who was in a car crash on Wednesday. I think it is really hard to prevent car crashes because there are so many different reasons behind the crashes like car malfunctions or blind spots, but I think a good way to start is self driving cars. I plan on taking driving training during sophomore year. In most cars now there are controls that help you to not use your phone like buttons on the back of steering wheels to change music without taking your hands off the wheel, but I think not enough people have updated cars for those to be in place yet. Yes, I think they should be able to drive because everyone has to drive eventually, and that is the age that everyone is becoming more independent and need to be more places without hassling parents or other people for car rides.
