In my opinion the movie review for Friday the 13th is very well done, it breaks the review down into five parts about different things in the movie. its very easy to understand and very effective.

Freedom Writers ; Descovering your Voice.
The movie Freedom Writers is directed by Richard Lagravenese and produced by Danny Devito. A few of the main actors are Hilary Swank (Erin), Patrick Dempsey (Scott), Imelda Staunton (Margaret), Scott Glenn (Steve), April Lee Hernandez (Eva), Mario (Andre), Jason Finn (Marcus), and Hunter Parrish (Ben). The movie was released on January 5th, 2007.
This movie is gripping story of inner city kids raised on drive by shootings and hard core attitude and the teacher who gives them the one thing they need most, a voice of there own. Dropped into the free-fire zone of a school torn by violence and racial tension, teacher Erin Gruwell battles an uncaring system in a fight to make the classroom matter in her students lives. A group of supposedly "unteachable" teens will discover the power of tolerance, reclaim their shattered lives. Erin’s class wrote about their experiences as gang bangers and then their attachment to Gruwell’s class. So early on the movie approaches their lives from their skewed perspective. Her students believe themselves to be brave soldiers in some war, and fill their diaries with empty justification for the racial hatred and brutality they’ve idealized. Eventually Erin gets through to them, breaking through their wall of keeping it real to serve them a little bit of reality.
Richard Lagravenese also directed the movie P.S. I love you in witch Hilary Swank was the lead. She did well in both films but I enjoyed her more in P.S. I love you I though she had more emotion in her acting.
Some of the actors I thought did very well were Mario who played Andre, because the whole situation with his brother made his role more believable also Jason Finn did a good job portraying the part of Marcus. I found the music really went well with the atmosphere. The conflict between Erin and her husband Scott was a huge part in the over all movie because it showed that she cared for this group of kids so much that she was willing to do anything for them, even lose her husband.
The message behind the film the Freedom Writers is that no matter where you come from and what you have in life you're always able to over come it and change your life for the better. and that you should never let someone tell you you can't do something when you know you can. i agree with the message and i believe they got their point across very well.

Dear Mr. Carter
I would like to apply for the position to write the music section under entrainment.
I feel I could benefit this part of the Blackville Talon because I have a real interest in music.
Handing detail and the love of music are only a few of the things that will make me suitable for this peculiar job of writing for the Blackville music entrainment section. With these skills I believe that I will be a great asset overall.
Thank you for your time and I would really appreciate being able to meet with you for an interview at your conscience.
Respectfully yours,

Unattainable Woman.
As I sat here in a hopeless state of mind, discouraged about how I could ever paint the perfect painting. I was so insecure about my abilities; I never had something to truly inspire me to paint something amazing. And then it came to mind, her, she’s the one to make this painting complete.
I met het last winter, her exquisite beauty swept me away. Whenever I’m walking down the long lonely road near my place and come to the street light where I first set eyes on the beauty that was her, I can still see her long black hair swaying in the icy cool wind as is shines from the light.
So I went searching for the photo I took of her that day last winter and then I picked up my paint brush and began to paint. I started with a silhouette of her pale white face, and then I moved to the outline of her emerald green eyes. But I was stuck, I could see her smile in my mind, but I couldn't bring myself to paint it - there was something missing. Then my mind began to wander back to the first time I ever saw. That gorgeous smile of hers, and all of a sudden my hand began to glide across the canvas.
