"The Surprises Life Gives Us"

The world is full of surprises when you least expected you get attack. In
this world whatever goes around comes around. You never know what
is next. At the start of Crash, the movie starts right away with a car
crash. In this case, this is something that occurs everyday.
Crash introduces many cases through out the movie that we can
relate to our every day lives.

After the car crash occurs, we are quickly introduced to two young African Americans, Anthony and Peter, who are walking through the streets of L.A and complaining about the poor service they had just received in the restaurant. They argue about people being racism and being treated different. As they walked they passed a formally attired white couple, Jean and Rick Cabot. Anthony pulls out a gun and leads them back to their SUV, and carjacks them. As the white couple arrives their home the locks from the house are being replaced immediately, when Jean notice a Latino man performing this labor she makes a loud racist slur. As we continue to watch the movie we notice that the movie gets passed along like a football. We then learn about the Latino man’s home life, Daniel, which turn leads to subplots about an Iranian shopkeeper. Then it leads into the life of a cruel cop, Officer John Ryan, who takes grim delight in humiliating a wealthy black TV producer and his wife, Christine and Cameron Thayer, during a traffic-violation stop.

As well Officer Ryan needs the assistance of an African American woman for his dad’s care, although he is a racist. Ryan who is authority also learns a lesson after he tries to rescue Christine from the car accident. After he sees her reaction he notices that he is causing people to fear him instead of making the victim feel protected by him. Now days there are many corrupted police officers out there in the streets who try to take advantage. The Iranian shopkeeper taught us that we should be more understandable and not solve the problems on our own, since we can just cause the problem to get bigger or cause the wrong person to pay the consequences. Things happen for a reason and we should not try to change them.

We start looking for the shifts and patterns that will forced disparate characters to interact with each other, usually in moments of stress. The main idea is to tell us that racial conflict is always bubbling beneath the surface of Los Angeles. Also, the lesson taught is that no matter how rich or poor we are, we all need from each other. At last, everything comes back to the same thing.

In Your Toes

"In Your Toes"

For many years stories have been around the world. From the moment we are

born we are told stories from our love ones. As a kid we find stories to be a source of

learning and imagination. Many of us grew up with the habit of our parents putting us into

bed by reading a story to us. As we grow older we learn that stories are compose of

many things like poetry, music, and films. As for me, one element that I like about stories

is descriptive writing

Getting the reader's mind into understanding what is going on in the story cannot

always be accomplished. For example, by using vivid words it can cause the reader to

feel fear like the character in the story. Stephen King is an example writer that puts

feeling into his writing. In "The Boogeyman", King, set a standard of fearing the closet.

He begins by describing the scene and leads into the massacre. The main idea of

descriptive writing is to make the reader feel part of the story. King has a way of turning

his stories around without losing the reader by leading into the point. The use of

descriptive words is what makes the story more interesting for the reader.

At last, making the words clear helps the reader get a better picture of what is

happening in the story. I hate when there is a lot of confusion and I have to go back into

reading the story again in order for me to understand. Keeping the reader in their toes

and wanting more is what makes a good writer, and the best way of doing it is by being

descriptive.
