My favorite movie of 2008

My favorite movie of 2008 was the movie "Twilight." I kind of have to do Twilight because it is the only movie I watched in 2008. I dont get to go to the movie theathers very often. I didnt even go to movie theather to watch Twilight. I watched it on my laptop on the internet. It was a really good movie. Well, if you didnt read the book before you watched the movie. If you read the book and then watched the movie then it isnt as good. They dont add all the details and some of the characters arent as good as the readers would imagine.
I thought it was really good because it was like just cool. The whole vampire thing, they got the looks and the music that were played matched the scene. I mean the A+ is what they got rated for their movie. I'd probably give it an A+ also. They would have gotten another plus if they actually put all the parts of the book into the movie. New Moon the second book is going to be turned into a movie. It is going to be directed by someone new. Hopefully New Moon will be really really good.

President Obama's Speech

When President Obama says "a New Era of Responsiblity", what I think he means by that is that everyone is going to have to participate in joining and helping the economy. What I think that means nationally is that all the people are going to have to be careful and not be unresponsible.If people just took the time and spent their money wisely and not go crazy then we might be able to get back on track.
Locally, it effects us by the unemployment rate. Now it is about 13%. That will definitely effect me because I dont have a job also. I've looked but no one in Anderson is hiring right now. Even if they are I am not qualified because I am still in high school. He means that since he is now president he will try to get us the nation back on track to where is suppose to be. But that all citizens would have to help. At least thats what I think he means.

Douglas Soccio's Quote:how does it apply to me?

I thought that Douglas Soccio's quote about how school is kind of like real life. I know that his quote is true. Just because you are a perfect a student, it doesnt necessarily mean that your going to be all happy. When I was reading his article, I was thinking in my head, oh wow everything he says is so true! He knows what he is writing because he had been through school and understands it. You got to really think about it. School is really an example for life.
His quote kind of relates to me because there are times when i just hate going to school, that it is a waste of my time. If I really think hard about the reasons why I should get up for school I'd have alot. I have to come to school everyday because I need to in order to do all my assignments and graduate high school. If I decided not to come to school then there would be many consequences. I'd have alot of missing assignments. I'd still have to make up for the day that I do come to school. Like in real life an example would be like if you woke up one day and just decided not to go work then you'll think ahh..its just one day. You'd have fun in that one day. You would want to do it again. If you keep on doing it then your boss wont be happy with you. Your missing alot of work.
There are other times like when I dont want to do an assignment my teacher assigns me that day. I still have to do it even though I dont want to. If I dont then I will get a bad grade and that will just hurt me later on. I'd rather do it now and not have to worry so much later. Douglas Soccio's quote I know for sure that it has to do with everyone. If you just now read his article, you will realize that what he is saying actually relates to you and makes sense.
