“The plot of "The Smurfs" looks like "The Usual Suspects" by comparison — but there is something in this film for absolutely everyone"= simile: a comparison between two unlike things using "like" or “as”


"Plenty of slapstick. When one of the Chipmunks gets hit in the testicles, he actually yells, "My acorns!”= personification:The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in.


"he actually yells” =OnomatopoeiaThe use of a word to describe or imitate a natural sound or the sound




The article that i read was about."Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie on a remote island seems like a potential gift for cynical parents”. This movie “ these rodents — spoiler alert! — survive for a fourth incarnation, which no doubt will involve the introduction of a smaller cuter cousin”. I didn’t understand what he meant by them surviving they have to survive they are the main character you can’t just kill them off. “Still, the movie does have a certain calculated genius. The story is a jumbled mess — the plot of "The Smurfs" looks like "The Usual Suspects" by comparison — but there is something in this film for absolutely everyone”. Apparently there were some stupid people in theater" Kids: Plenty of slapstick. When one of the Chipmunks gets hit in the testicles, he actually yells, "My acorns!”.Teens: Justification for bratty behavior. If anything, it seems as if the chipmunks are rewarded for defying authority figures.Parents: Seemingly random and mostly dated pop culture nods. During an early hang gliding scene, Alvin says, "I can see Russia from here!" Another chipmunk references the Dos Equis "Most interesting man in the world" commercials.” I think it will be good for all ages no matter what happens

A=Antigua

**I DID NOT RESIVE A LETTER FROM YOU WHEN I CAME INTO THE CLASS SO I DID “A”**


Antigua is the most beautiful island in the West Indies. Im telling you that your will have so much fun there i would know because i live there for some of my child hood and i visited Antigua in 2009 so i know it well. I think everyone should get to go there in there life time its money well spent and u can do these activities and more..
http://www.antigua-barbuda.org/Agact01.htm


1. Come Play a Game go Cricket. "Antiguans are more than a little devoted to cricket. The island has historically been a very strong contributor to West Indian and international cricket, and the Antigua Recreation Ground is one of the finest places in the Caribbean to take in a local, regional, or international match. Devotees of the game can visit the Antigua and Barbuda Museum for a look at the infamous cricket bat of Vivian Richards, native Antiguan, former captain of the West Indies Cricket Club, and one of the greatest batsmen of all time. Matches can be found almost anywhere on the island, at almost any time”.


2. Take an Eli Eco Tour. "Local Antiguan, Eli Fuller will show you the "other side" of Antigua. Growing up spending most of his time on the water, Eli wants to make sure that even if you have been to Antigua on 10 other holidays, your day out with him will leave you with a new picture of Antigua. This tour has been spoken about on all of the cruise and travel forums as well as in countless guides and periodicals.”


3. Go Windsurfing."Windsurf Antigua is located at Dutchman's Bay - best location, superb climate and ideal wind conditions.  We have good equipment and also specialise in teaching beginners.”


4. Go to Stingray City."Enchanting 'Stingray City' Antigua, fringed and protected by its own reef is where the delightfully calm, crystal-clear waters make possible an actual swim with the rays.
The unbeatable scenery and pristine coral reef encircling the area enhance this amazing experience, second to none in the world.”

5.Take a trip on the Caribbean Helicopter Ride."The most memorable tours in the Caribbean:
On our tours you can see just about all of Antigua's coastline from deserted offshore islands to the downtown cruise-ship port and from busy Dickenson Bay to pristine and rugged Half-moon Bay. Visit Monserrat and get closer to an active volcano than is possible any other way, then see the charred remains of its now deserted capital city. If you want something special, allow us to suggest some custom tour options for you. Whatever you choose, you wont forget your tour with us!”

6. Go on Exotic Destination Day Charters. “You drive your boat. After a detailed briefing including safety aspects and instructions on operating the boats, jump into your boat and head out for a dream tour, skirting beautiful coves, mangroves, deserted offshore islands with our skilled instructors pointing out the wildlife and local features of this pristine area. A drink and swim stop are included”

7.  You Should go on a Zip Line Canopy Tour. “The Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tour is a unique eco-tour through Antigua's lush rainforest where you embark on an unforgettable 21-element journey through the verdant forest, high above the trees.”

Since i lived there the only problem is that the heat can get very hot so u will new to be in the shade a lot and have a drink handy. 1 more advantage is the $1 US is $2.50 EC(which is antiguan money) so u will had double the money you brought.

http://www.timesunion.com/default/article/Editorial-The-long-cleanup-of-Irene-and-Lee-2308864.php

The editorial i read, was about Hurricane Irene and Lee and how long the clean up will take but in "Reality, unfortunately, turns out to be quite different. The tens of millions promised by Gov.Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Senator Charles Schumer seem to have been stalled somewhere between their press releases and the people and communities that need the money.” After the terrible disaster of the storm tons of people need the money to help them rebuild or fix there house and or property."This is not to say that the disaster relief effort is nonexistent. At least $12 million has gone out since the storms hit in late August and early September, notes Assemblyman Peter Lopez, R-Schoharie”."Is it unreasonable to think that much more should have been accomplished by now? Is it unfair to expect that New York would have substantially dealt with summer storms before the first nor'easter of winter buries the mess so it can't be cleared till next year?”. Every one is right by Now (December) i would think that most of the damages would have to under construction but its talking for ever i hope the up coming winter doesn’t create a bigger problem.

Opinion Prompt #2

Child testimonies in abuse cases are not credible.That is so stupid the kids is who feel it the most. They should have say in it of course. Who is the person who said that children testimonies didn’t matter. I would love to see the judge tell a child that he couldn’t tell the court wat happened because it wouldn’t matter.
