Movie Review "Point Break"

"It went bad body and people died, you gotta go down!"..."You know I can't handle a cage man!"

Hi flying stunts, poor hard-core acting, and a bad story line come together like never before in this amazing flop of a movie called "Point Break"...I watch a lot of movies, and I give credit where credit is due. In this case I give the credit to Patrick Swazy and Keanu Reeves for two entertaining hours of a movie that is only good enough for Thursday nights, and lazy Sunday afternoons.

The movie which Co-stars two of the biggest names in Hollywood brings surfing, and robbing banks to all new hights, and doesn't really keep you guessing, but this movie will hold your interest. And at times you will be sitting on the edge of your seat from suspense, or the desire to just walk out.

If you watch it, keep an open mind, and look for the scenes that other HollyWood films have ripped off from it. like"The Dark Knight", and "Mission Impossible" and have fun!

Grammar Post

The Simple Present of the verb to be is conjugated as follows. In spoken English, contractions are often used.
Without contractions With contractions
I am I'm
you are you're
he is he's
she is she's
it is it's
we are we're
they are they're
In written English, an apostrophe: ' is used in a contraction, to indicate that one or more letters have been omitted

This is a simple rule, but if you don't use the contractions, you will not sound like you know what you're taling about. I found this to be true when I lived in The Philippines.

Problems with this essay...

The assignment to write an "Ethnographic Essay" was a real challenge at first. It has given me an oportunity to really think a lot about a subject that I had already been familiar with. I think the biggest challenge that I had faced is that I already had a good basis for what I wanted to write about, but after interviewing different people, and obtaining information I knew that I needed to change the focus of my paper. So my biggest problem was what I needed to focus on. But after finding the direction it was a fun paper to write.

Comound Sentence

Compound Sentences
A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two complete ideas (called
clauses) that are related. These two clauses are usually connected in a compound
sentence by a conjunction. The coordinating conjunctions are "and", "but", "for", "or",
"nor", "yet", or "so".
Example:
Batman is a hero. He is successful in catching the criminals in his city.
Batman is a hero, and he is successful in catching the criminals in his city.
OR…
Batman is a hero, for he is successful in catching the criminals in his city.

Simple but effective...

Rule.
Use the exclamation point to show emphasis or surprise. Do not use the exclamation point in formal business writing.

Example:
I'm truly shocked by your behavior!

This is the simplest grammar post that I have done, but I actually learned something here...Don't ever put an "!" in a formal business writing...Did you know that?

3 Elements of my group "Remote Possibilities"

Remote Possibilities is a Model airplane group that takes in all aspects of Remote Control Models, but specializes in airplanes.

They were formed in 1986 by a group of hobby enthusiasts, and for a short time met in a basement of a bank, and gained almost 40 members their first meeting.

They host annual events which are known to people all over the U.S.A. Some people travel thousands of miles every year for single weekend event held in St. George.

Ethnographic Essay...

My "Ethnographic Essay" is going to be on a club here in St. George called "Remote Possibilities" It is a "Remote Control airplane club" which is mostly made up of old retired rich people. My dad was a co-founder of this club in the mid 1980's and since then has been turned into an 80 headed monster. The old people that belong to this club seem to have nothing better to do but complain and talk crap all day about everyone, and everything. I am not actively involved with the club so I find what they say and do very humerous. I have a lot of good questions to ask them, like what brought them into the hobby, and how do they afford it? Does it cost marital discord, because it costs so much!? I should find doing this project most enlightning.

Grammar Post...Fragments

I have not had a very long writing career, but in the writing of "My life sounds like this, I found myself writing a lot a "Fragment Sentences" So I thought I would research the subject a little bit.

A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence. Some fragments are incomplete because they lack either a subject or a verb, or both. The fragments that most students have trouble with, however, are dependent clauses—they have a subject and a verb, so they look like complete sentences, but they don't express a complete thought. They're called "dependent" because they can't stand on their own (just like some people you might know who are SO dependent!). Look at these dependent clauses. They're just begging for more information to make the thoughts complete:
Because his car was in the shop (What did he do?)
After the rain stops (What then?)
When you finally take the test (What will happen?)
Since you asked (Will you get the answer?)
If you want to go with me (What should you do?)
Does each of these examples have a subject? Yes. Does each have a verb? Yes. So what makes the thought incomplete?? It's the first word (Because, After, When, Since, If). These words belong to a special class of words. If you know something about subordinating conjunctions, you can probably eliminate 90% of your fragments.First, you need to know that subordinating conjunctions do three things:join two sentences together make one of the sentences dependent on the other for a complete thought (make one a dependent clause) indicate a logical relationship.
