Captain Mactavish:  ”We’ve got 1 good machine gun. They’ve got a thousand.”

Captain Price:  ”The healthy human mind doesn’t wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that’s a luxury. Not a curse. To know you’re close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take…inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare…They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him. This is for the record. History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If he lives and we die, his truth becomes written-and ours is lost. He will be a hero. ‘Cause all you need to change the world is one good lie and a river of blood. He’s about to complete the greatest trick a liar ever played on history… But only if he lives, and we die.”

I keep reading this over and over again. It is an amazing quote.

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a kind of spy called an extractor. He and his partner Arthur, (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) go into a target’s dream and extract information from their subconscious mind. They’ve been successful most of time. But then, a man who owns a energy company wants them to go into the mind of the son of another energy company’s CEO. Cobb is told to try to make the son break the company’s empire by using Inception. Inception means to plant an idea into someone else’s mind.

Before I saw the movie, I knew Christopher Nolan wasn’t going to disappoint me. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were amazing. I was kind of nervous at first, since this wasn’t a Batman movie, that Nolan might not pull it off. But then, I looked at the cast. Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, and Michael Caine were some of the actors in the movie. Then, I knew. This was going to be an awesome movie. What made it even better, was that Hans Zimmer was the composer! I loved what he did with Batman and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. If you’ve seen a lot of movies, you’ll notice that a some of the actors are from some off Nolan’s previous movies.

This is one amazing movie. I really think that Inception should have won every category that it was nominated for. I give this movie a 5 out 5.

When I got on the internet, I found out so much more information on the Hartford Convention. Using Wikipedia, I found out that it was on December 15, 1814 through January 4, 1815. And that was only the first sentence! If I would have to rate the textbook, I would give it a 2 out of 10. Why? Well, it was incredibly boring, and I learned little from it. If I would rate Wikipedia, I would give it a 1o out 0f 10 because it tells me everything about the convention. It even tells me who went there! If I could change this, I would put more pictures, add a lot of more information, and not make it boring by putting an internet link at the side of the section if they want to watch a video on it just like they do in math books.

Here is a visual that I would add….

President Obama is a great leader. He is responsible, friendly, and smart. When BP caused the oil spill, Obama was responsible and knew what to do and where to go after it happened. Remember George W. Bush? What did he do when hurricane katrina hit? Obama went to the Gulf Coast, and talked to a lot of the local fishermen. He is very friendly because he listens to the American people. He has a weekly address on Youtube in which he talks about current events. He is smart because he is a strong leader and he is willing to make hard decisions. Imagine if we had a leader like President Mubarak of Egypt.   How would you feel?

This is a Disney World hat. When you probably saw this picture you probably thought about something related to Disney. Things like Disney World, Disney films, or even Mickey Mouse. But when I look at this hat, I think of all the great times I had on the Norwegian Sky cruise ship from Norwegian Cruise Lines. Why? Well, I don’t know why. Maybe it is because I under estimated how much fun a cruise ship could be. During the beginning of summer vacation last year, I was a very disappointed that my family and I weren’t going to Disney World and instead some cruise line we’ve never heard of. That cruise was the best vacation of my life. While I was on the cruise ship, I would wake up, walk to a restaurant, eat a lot, bring some leftovers back to the room, and then watch some TV in their relaxing beds…. all by myself! My mom would be somewhere like the spa and my dad…. well I wouldn’t know where he would be. I could do whatever I wanted like swim in the big pools or just play basketball. If I was at Disney World, then I would be waking up in some cheap hotel outside of the Disney Resort, walk around the parks with my parents, wait in 40 min. lines for boring 5 min. rides in 100 degree weather, and eat off the dollar menu at the nearest fast food chain in Orlando. When I was on the cruise, they had different kinds of food that I’ve never had before that were really good! Since this was a cruise and that everything gets paid for before hand, you get unlimited food! I also met lots of interesting people on the ship that I will never see again. They would act crazy in front of everyone and yell randomly. I asked them, “why do you do that?”Then, one of the guys said, “Well, we’re never going to see each other again, so why not?” It made me smile. When we got back to home in the middle of July, all the yards in our town looked like wastelands. Most of our grass was a dark shade of yellow, and it was around 90 degrees outside. I really felt like going back to that cruise ship. When I turned on the TV at my house there was a commercial for Norwegian Cruse Lines with Nickelodeon. Turns out the cruise line was pretty popular after all.
