Movie Review: Searching (2018)


WHAT'S THE STORY?

In SEARCHING, David Kim (John Cho) has a happy family. He enjoys watching his daughter Margot grow up, posting pictures and videos of her to social media. As Margot hits her teenage years (played by Michelle La), David finds himself raising her alone, and she seems increasingly distant. Finally one day she simply disappears after a supposed study group, and David hits the internet to try to find clues about where she might have gone. Her friends don't seem to know much, but he discovers that she's also been skipping her piano lessons and pocketing the money. A detective (Debra Messing) comes on the case, and time seems to be running out. Can David spot the final clue that will piece everything together?

Movie Review: Inception (2010)


Inception is the story of Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), a thief of the mind called an extractor who enters the dreams of high powered individuals and steals their secrets via an architect. The architect is responsible for building the world of the dreamer, convincing them their surroundings are real. Dom is assisted by his friend and colleague Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the voice of reason in Dom’s life. We’re brought into the main part of the story in the middle of an extraction, in the mind of sleeping energy company CEO Saito (Ken Watanabe). What seems to be a routine extraction turns into what the entire film ends up being; a question of what is what, when, and who is aware. Much of the groundwork is laid early on, though true to fashion, Nolan makes sure we’re not aware of it.

Pronouns



What is a Pronoun?


A pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that is used as a substitution for a noun or noun phrase, which is known as the pronoun’s antecedent. Pronouns are short words and can do everything that nouns can do and are one of the building blocks of a sentence. Common pronouns are he, she, you, me, I, we, us, this, them, that. A pronoun can act as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, and more and takes the place of any person, place, animal or thing. So coffee becomes it, Barbara becomes she, Jeremy becomes he, the team becomes they, and in a sentence, Barbara drinks a cup of coffee every afternoon could become she drinks a cup of it every afternoon, or even she drinks it every afternoon, where the it would substitute the cup of coffee, not just the coffee.

Encouragement Quotes to support you and improve your day! :)


Maybe you're feeling in need of some uplifting words today.

Sometimes we wake up in the morning and know we need some words of encouragement and strength.

Before our feet hit the floor, we sense the day may be careening downhill fast and I could use some words of inspiration.

Life pummels us with disappointments, challenges, and heartache, or maybe there's no obvious reason — our mood just shifts from light-hearted to heavy-laden.

When I'm having a no good, very bad day, my first reaction is to push through and ignore my feelings. I don't want to feel bad, so I think if I just keep moving, I'll shake it off.

How To Improve Your Vocabulary


Words are the basic blocks of the language, and one of the key predictors of someone’s education level, profession and social status. Yet most students struggle to increase their vocabulary effectively, as new words go one into one ear and out the other. It’s not that we have difficulties grasping the vocabulary when we see it. Rather, we struggle to recall when we get the opportunity to use it, or worse yet, forget to use frequently enough only to end up back where we begun.

How to Clean White Shoes

White shoes have become a wardrobe staple for both men and woman alike. Whether you’re rocking a suit, sundress or your classic jeans and tee, white sneakers may be one of the most versatile items in your closet. The only downside to white shoes is how to clean them once the inevitable scuffs and scrapes start popping up–which, let’s be honest, usually happens within the first 2 minutes of putting them on.
