We Are The Strange Movie Review

William Core 4 — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:22:51 +0000

‘We Are the Strange’ is a rollercoaster ride of excitement. It is about a young doll boy named Emmm who always plays with his Game Box. He really wants to get some ice cream. He meets Blue, a girl who is scared and broken. They venture off to Electric Town to find the perfect ice cream shop. There, they run into two legendary heroes, Rain, who is a master fighter, and Ori, who is made of paper and can transform. They warn Emmm and Blue that it is not safe for them to be there, because HIM is about to take over. However, Emmm and Blue keep going. They find the ice cream shop, but it is empty. They go to an arcade, and they both start playing a game. As Emmm plays a dancing game, he disappears into the floor, and Blue is left to fend for herself as the city gets invaded by monsters. Rain and Ori engage in an epic battle against the monsters, who are being controlled by HIM. After the monsters are destroyed, HIM gets in his giant robot, and tries to destroy the city. Then, Emmm comes back from nowhere. Flashback to when he was a little kid: His father, a professional giant robot rider, is about to be caught and killed for his illegal business. Emmm’s robot caretaker tries to keep everything under control, and tries to keep Emmm from worrying. His father, about to run away, gives Emmm his game box, and tells him to play it every day so one day, he can become a giant robot driver, just like his father. (End of flashback). Emmm gets inside his giant robot (which appears out of nowhere), and waits. HIM is busy destroying the city, and Emmm waits. He tries to figure out what to do, as HIM spots him. Emmm has an epiphany and realizes what to do. The two giant robots fight, and Emmm wins, with Blue dealing the final blow.
I really enjoyed the movie. M Dot Strange’s new style, str8nime (a combination of strange, 8-bit, and anime), was fresh and new. I got something different out of this movie than I have out of any other. My only complaint has to be part of the beginning of the movie. It was created when M Dot was just starting to make his first film, and it shows. The dialogue in the beginning scene was cheesy, but the rest of the movie was safe. But all in all, it was one of the best movies I have ever seen.

The Pool…

William Core 4 — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:26:52 +0000

Getting a pool would be a bad idea. There are too many negatives for us to still get a pool.
First of all, we are in a major budget crunch. The state has cut the state’s school funding by a lot of money, so we should only have what we need to learn. We can’t afford a pool if we can only buy school materials. Think about it. School fundings are dropping over $8 million! That’s a lot of money the schools are losing. Do we really have enough to get a new pool installed.
The pool would cost additional money to clean and maintain, which would add more to the cost of this extra, not-necessity.
Not only would the maintenance add to cost, but it would also add to the amount of labour. People would have to work even more just to keep the pool running.
Taxpayers are already paying enough money for the schools. If we don’t get the pool, the money could be sent back. A few dollars adds up and goes a long way. When it comes to taxes, you want to save as much money as possible, even if it’s only an amount like $10.
There are already pools around the area, so we don’t need any more. This would be a useless waste of money.
Plus, if the pool was open to the public, more people would go to the school. Troublemakers would vandalise the school, and creepy people would be near the children.
This is why I think getting a pool would be a waste of money, and a waste of time.

H. G. Wells

William Core 4 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:19:57 +0000

H. G. Wells, one of the greatest writers of the late 19^th and early 20^th century. He started out barely making his way through life, but he became an internationally famous writer when he discovered his true calling. Many people today still enjoy reading his timeless tales of science fiction.Herbert George Wells (commonly known as H. G. Wells) was born on September 21, 1866, in Kent County England. He was the fourth and last child of Joseph Wells and Sarah Neal. He grew up in a lower-middle-class family, his mother unemployed, and his father a shopkeeper and a cricketer. He inherited his family’s money, and he used it to purchase a china shop. The location was bad, and the building was in poor conditions, so his job didn’t go well, and he had to quit. His family also had very little money, so they decided their children would become apprentices of several choices of jobs. In 1880, Wells was a draper’s apprentice and thee years later he was let go. Later on that year, Wells became an assistant teacher at a Grammar School. He won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London. He studied biology there, and he went on to set up the Royal College of Science Association, and he became the first president of the school later on in 1909. He entered the Debating Society, which sparked his interest in a reformation of society. He did well in physics and biology in school, but he had no interest in geology, which caused him to lose his scholarship. Along with the loss of his scholarship, he also lost his job, so he had to move in with his aunt. He became interested in his cousin, whom he was staying with (his aunt’s daughter), and they married in 1891. Wells left her 3 years later for one of his students, whom he married in 1985. He had two sons with his wife, and she was loyal to him until her death in 1927.Wells often sketched to express himself, but did not pursue art. He wrote ‘Floor Games’ in 1911, and ‘Little Wars’ in 1913, both books about miniature wargaming. ‘Little Wars’ is recognised as the first recreational wargame, and for that, Wells is known by hobbyists as ‘the Father of Miniature Wargaming’.Wells released his first bestseller ‘Anticipations’ in 1901. His earliest novels became science fiction classics – books such as ‘The Invisible Man’ and ‘The War of the Worlds’. Some of his books questioned humanity (such as ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’), others have rather unhappy endings (such as ‘The Sleeper Awakes’), and others were about reform in utopias (such as ‘The Shape of Things to Come’, and ‘In the Days of the Comet’). Some of his books depict the future, and were sometimes accurate. He also wrote many short stories and novellas, as well as nonfiction.Later on, Wells became unhappy with his previous works, so he decided to write more serious stories. He started this new period of stories with ‘Love and Mr. Lewisham’. After that, he wrote such titles as ‘Men Like Gods’, ‘Star-Begotten’, and ‘Kipps’.

Wells died on August 13, 1946, from liver cancer. However, many people read and love his books today, and they always will. Because of this, H. G. Wells will always live on, as one of the greatest science fiction authors of all time.

Wrapping Presents

William Core 4 — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 19:11:21 +0000

On December 24, 2007, it was the second day of Christmas Vacation. I remember the time when I was in the dining room, wrapping presents at the table. There were wreaths hanging up, and there were hollies around the doorways. In the other room, there was a pile of presents that came in different shapes, sizes, and colour. They were scattered all around the tiny green Christmas tree. The tree had ornaments hanging from it, as well as popcorn strings and fake icicles made out of shiny, silver paper strips. There was an abundance of Christmas spirit all around the house. Everybody was ready for the best time of the year. Everybody but me. I had waited until the last minute to wrap the presents, because my brother’s present required ‘special care’ in order to be ready. It also came with a time limit, and I wanted for it to last as long as possible. I wrapped some of the presents, I put some in gift bags, I made cards, I signed the tags, I put stickers everywhere, and it took a long time. I stayed up all night, and even part of the morning. At 1:00 AM, Christmas Day, I finally finished wrapping the presents. I was exhausted from all the work I had just done, so I went to bed. As I tried (and failed miserably for the next hour or so) to get to sleep, I thought about what had just happened. I realized that I should start wrapping the presents earlier next year, and I shouldn’t get a present that required so much work to get it ready. With more time to wrap the presents, I would probably do a better job, because everything wouldn’t be crammed into the last minute, and I wouldn’t feel the need to rush it. I would need my sleep for Christmas Day – one of the biggest days of the year, and I wouldn’t feel guilty for waiting until the last minute, because I had them finished ahead of time.

Book Review #4

Book Review #4 by William M

The Old Man and the Sea

Ernest Hemingway

The Old Man and the Sea is a very simple book. It takes place in
Cuba, in a small community. The setting is sometime in the eighteenth or nineteenth century. It is about an old man who loves fishing. His apprentice, a young boy known as Manolin, was forced to leave the old man by his parents, because of the old man’s bad luck. They insisted that he move to a luckier boat. After 70 days of bad luck, the old man feels that his luck is about to change. He sets out into the gulf and starts to fish. When he hooks a fish, it starts pulling out the skiff, instead of the other way around. The old man has a great battle with the fish that lasts two days and nights. He expects that it is a giant marlin, and his prediction is correct when the giant fish leaps out of the water. The old man has to do things such as bear the tension of the line in order to go to sleep without losing the fish, and ignore painful cramps that endanger his mission. Can you imagine going through pain for two days and nights just to catch a fish? The old man must have been really dedicated.

I enjoyed this book. It was easy to read, and it was simple, but it represented many things; this book was both literal and figurative in many ways. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to read a short story; this book is highly praised for a reason.

One of the main themes of this book is to never give up. The old man struggled for two days straight, but still managed to catch it. I’m not going to give away the ending, but even though some may say that he lost in the end, his goal was to just catch the fish, and that’s exactly what he did.

Welcome!
