My first essay.. Person's right to privacy,

Imagine you are Barbara Jewell. Write a letter to the Atlanta Journal, the newspaper the first named your son as a suspect in the Olympic bombing.


To the Editor:
sensationalist reporting is harmful to all people involved and has no place in our society. Richard would never be comfortable if he didn't tell anyone about the bomb. I think he might well be remorseful forever if he had done that. But I wonder how you could have interpret his action, from one which is heroic to one which is suspicions..!! This is very irresponsible behavior. And this upshot has changed our live forever..!
Our life has completely destroyed by the media. I don't think any of you can even imagine what our lives are like .. you have taken all privacy from us, so now my son has no real life. He is a prisoner in our home.He can't work , he can't have any type of normal life. What's more, he couldn't visit his friend who on his deathbed..! He can only sit and wait for this nightmare to end. I'm a hundred percent sure my son Richard is not a murderer, and all our friends know that. However, because he is avictim peeping tom journalists he lives a life which wores than that of a murderer’s.
It is the most difficult life for people to live and they have been convicted in the court of public opinion and there is no peace. I'm not just saddened and hurt by the ordeal, but also I'm very angry. As a result of the media' s tolerance for irresponsible reporting, my family and I are a few more victims of sensationalism at its worst. On behalf of all victims of sensationalism, we demand a formal apology..

My First Individual presentation


I chose Italian Job Movie to present it..

Italian job, witty, cool larceny tale :


The Italian Job is robbery thriller remake of a British film of the same name from 1969.
The new film, directed by F. Gary Gray
Cast :
Mark Wahlberg ... Charlie Croker
Charlize Theron ... Stella Bridger
Edward Norton ... Steve
Donald Sutherland ... John Bridger
Jason Statham ... Handsome Rob
Mos Def ... Left Ear
Seth Green ... Lyle
The film opens in Venice, Italy with the "leader" John Bridger then he meets up with the "planner" Charlie to discuss the job. Charlie plans and executes and swiftly the robbery, involving the robbery of gold bars, with help from the team :
Steve is the "inside man",
Handsome Rob is a very proficient "wheel man",
Left Ear is the explosives expert,
and Lyle is the technical expert.
The job has done successfuly and gave us an incredibly elaborate robbery and the celebrating begins, but the euphoria doesn't last long..! Traitor in their midst (Steve) has his own plans, double-crosses the crew and doesn't waste time seizing the gold, kills Bridger,and makes off with the gold. They survive, and plan revenge.
The film continues back in the United States, Bridger's plucky daughter Stella agrees to join the team, the robbery begins. with using her expertise to break into vaults, for legitimate reasons. The rest of the movie shows, how the guys doing their revenge in L.A., where the traitor has gone to enjoy his ill-gotten loot behind huge walls, palm trees and a super security system.
