Car Raid

I've known Matthew Lane for almost 3 years now, and i've only been in his car once until now. His old Honda Civic looks like just another hand me down car but inside there is so much more. "I spend most of my time in my car, whether it's going to work or just taking my friends out on the weekend." Matt said, as the first thing I laid eyes on was a pair of cheap black heels in the backseat. They were a size 6 and smelled like a rotten fish, and I could tell he was embarrassed by the alarming piece of apparel we both saw. "Before you say anything, they're my mom's." He told me and I started to wonder why his mom's shoes would be in his own car.
To the eye's view, the car looked pretty clean. I knew something was off because his own room is something like a landfill, would't his car be the same? I looked under the driver's seat to find two pairs of black gloves. Two things ran through my mind, either Matt's hands get really cold or he's up to something no good. Matt's only 18 and about to go to college in Seattle, Washington. He has so much going for him so I decided to brush this off and keep looking.
I then get to unlock the trunk and I was already nervous. I popped it open and the first thing I see is a large black duffle bag. I looked at Matt and he had no expression, looking straight forward into the car. "I need to go to the bathroom, i'll be right back." Matt said to me and he walked off back into his house.  I then take this time to open the black duffle. The sight of two black long sleeves, one large and one small, and two black ski masks. My heart dropped. It was all suddenly coming together, Matt and his mom are working together. Something shady is going on, and that's when Matt came up out of nowhere and slams the trunk shut. He looked at me dead in the eye and said "You didn't see anything, got that?" I then didn't want to ask anymore questions, I nodded my head and Matt took me home. We didn't say anything else, there was nothing else to be said. His mother and him are secret agent spies.

Movie Review

The cast of the movie includes well known American actors such as Tom Hanks as Captain phillips, and African actors such as Barked Abdi playing as Muse. Other small roles were played by Barked Abdiraham as Bial and Michael Churns as Shane Murphy. The film begins with Richard Phillips taking charge of a cargo ship. The group's expedition is interrupted and paused when Somalian Pirates barge in. The American crew from then is forced to cooperate with these aggressive/violent Somalian pirates in order to survive. As the leader of the ship, Captain Phillips does all thing possible to keep his crew and the Somalians alive. In many parts of the film, I thought the Somalian pirates would end up killing Captain Phillips, however the movie had some unexpected parts that kept me wondering what was gonna happen. It was very suspenseful and made me actually intrigued. In the beginning and I wasn't interested in the story because I wouldn't typically watch this type of movie. To tie in with how this movie represents a true story, the movie really focuses in on the moral of sacrificing yourself for others. For example, Captain Phillips sacrificed going on the ship with dangerous people so his crew would not have to. The main character/protagonist, Captain Phillips represents courage This film mainly attracts young adults that are looking for a good drama/action story. I think this movie's plot was very well planned out. Although this movie was very intriguing and something that defiantly kept me on my toes, it was very violent and at points hard to watch. I am someone who is very sensitive to these kind of topics, but they made it so interesting. The movie was also a bit too slow moving, and I felt like there were some irrelevant scenes. Overall it was mediocre, mainly just hard to keep up with and follow along with the story told. This film has poor audience demographics mainly because only young adults would think this film was intriguing because it is too complex for young kids to understand. In my opinion young kids probably shouldn't watch it because of the violence that they are not mature enough to handle at a young age, they may also get very bored because it is so long. I think the film wasn't bad however it was not something I would see again. I would rate this film 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend you to watch Captain Phillips for the intense scenes and the incredible acting done by this high quality cast! But if you are sensitive to violence and "strong" language, I wouldn't recommend this. It is a more mature story that is meant for mature audiences.

Trump fired the director because he didn't trust him. If we weren't told when a major player is removed from office we would have less control over our own government and feel less safe. I think the story is big because it happened out nowhere. I think Trump needs to be under more suspicion for Russia relations because it sounds like he's lying about everything.

I think a sanctuary city is an area that fails to help the government in the immigration process. I do not think sanctuary cities are good or bad because in the end because when the police agencies do not cooperate more illegal immigrants will not be paying taxes. The final tally was 90-52.
