Tropic Thundaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The movie I chose to BLOG about is Tropic Thunder. It takes a less serious look at war and spices it up with comedy. They are working on shooting the most expensive war movie ever. They try to make it as real as they could make it, but all of a sudden, the camera guy dies and then they find themselves in a real life war. They don't know its real, they just think its all actors and special affects. The film makers are trying to say that war is unexpected and you have to be ready to fight no matter what. A similaratary of this movie to slaughterhouse five is that one of the actors becomes a POW just like Billy. Mary O'Hare would not like this movie because it kind of mocks war and she has lived through it and she would feel bad.

time where I wasn't a loner..

A time where I felt like I was a part of something was my Junior year Basketball season. We were all so close and all got a long. Even though I rarely played, I really felt like I was apart of the team. We would have team building days and team sleepovers. It was the best team I have ever been apart of.

true west blog!

True West is a play we are watching this week in class. It is a very good story, but the drunk brother is really getting to annoy me. It's like get a life man and stop bringing down your brother with you. His brother is an aspiring screen writer but the drunk is trying to steal his thunder. The drunk beat the producer in a bet so the producer threw out the project the one brother has been working on for the drunks play. It made me so mad! I hope that the drunk doesn't get too ahead of himself and think he is going to make it. I'm excited to watch the end of this play.

metamorphosis! :D

When I, Dalton Peterson, awoke from unsettling dreams, I found myself changed into a huge life size teddy bear. My fur is white, and I have a little hat. My ears are perked up constantly and my lips are sealed shut. I can't believe I can't talk! I go to get out of my bed and I realize I can't move my feet because I have no muscles or bones. I lay their waiting for someone to come into my room, then something hits me. My room is locked, how am I going to do anything?! I'm a worthless, but cute, teddy bear that can't move! What am I supposed to do? My sister, Sawyertina, comes to my door and knocks on it. "Dalton get up, time to go to school!" She hears no reply so she starts banging on the door as hard as she can, still no answer. So now she starts to worry, "What happened to him?" "is he okay?" She rushes downstairs and gets their parents. Robbie, the dad, just so happens to have a device to pick locks, a paperclip. He opens the door slowly, not sure what he is going to find in there. He tells the girls to stay back, he wants to be the big man. He flips on the light very slowly, and all of a sudden he shrieks like a little girl and runs out of the room. He tells the rest of the family what he saw; Sawyertina goes into the room because she is curious like a cat. She doesn't believe it, there I am sitting in my bed all fluffy and cuddly. She has never been so excited, she starts jumping on me and moving me around. She is having the time of her life, and lets face it, so am I. Turns out, I never get turned back to normal and Sawyertina does tea parties with me and dresses me up. THE END:)
