#9 Girl, Interrupted

In this Girl, Interrupted clip Susanna is supposed to be a patient in an insane asylum. Winona Ryder, who plays Susanna, acts in a very withdrawn and angry at the world. This really adds to the movie because it makes her character much more convincing. The other girls who are patients in the asylum have their different quirks that make them appear insane enough to be placed in there. Lisa is really mean and acts like she owns the place and Cynthia says things a child would say and repeats what others say around her. Whoopi, the nurse, lightens the mood by joking with the patients but sill acting like an authority figure. Two props that I noticed from the scene were the razor and the cigarettes. The razor was in the first part of the scene where the nurse has to watch her take her bath and the cigarettes were pretty much throughout the rest of the scene. I think that the razor was added in the beginning to set the tone that the girls really did have problems and couldn't be left alone with something like a razor. The cigarettes stood for a deeper addiction and a need to always be doing something.

#7 A Great New Holiday!


I declare March 20th is forever more act like an animal day! Celebrating the end to the harsh winter in some climates and even hotter weather in others, acting like an animal would be a great season transition! As spring begins animals start to come out into the open to find mates and explore new surroundings. By acting and dressing like an animal we can celebrate the animals returning by acting like whatever animal we please. Gearing up for act like an animal day is very simple. The only thing you need to do in preparation is buy some kind of animal outfit or accessory. On act like an animal day you must make some attempt to dress like an animal whether it is simply wearing a pair of ears or a tail. A few other traditions include: eating without silverware, crawling around and talking in animal noises. Decorating the house is also tradition. Many people set our feeders for the different animals that live in their yard, another thing people do is hang up posters and decorations celebrating their favorite animals. The true meaning of act like an animal day is to let loose and have fun after being cooped up all winter long. Act like an animal day is like the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, because by the time the spring rolls around most people are just dying for it to finally be summer. By celebrating act like an animal day it shows what is to come in the future, which of course is loads of summer fun!

#6 Stop Chewing Like a Cow!


Chewing and Chomping as loud as you possibly can is now illegal. Chomping is annoying, disgusting and extremely rude. It is an annoyance and a distraction to everyone around you because when you chomp your food people can’t even hear themselves think. By Chewing as loudly as you can you are disturbing the peace for no good reason but to annoy everyone standing within a few feet of you. Chomping on your food is very disgusting because not only do people not want to have to see all the things you have just shoved in your fat mouth they don’t want to have to listen to it to . Because it is such a disgusting thing to watch and hear that also makes it very impolite. Polite people do not go out of their way to make people want to strangle them. Loud chompers are to be put in classes to reduce their chomping noise level and learn to eat in a quiet and polite manner. Those loud chompers who refuse to attend the chomp noise reduction class will be sentenced to be chained to a dungeon wall and not given any food to chop on until they decided to take the class and change their chomping habits. If those chompers who have attended the class refuse to follow by the class rules will no longer be allowed to eat food ever again, they will only be served things they have to drink.

#4 Jetson Hover Craft


How would you like to never be stuck in traffic? If you are one of the million Americans that live in the busy cities of the United States you need a Jetson Hover Craft!

The Jetson Hover craft enables you to sail over the roofs of the cars below you and never have to sit through hours of traffic again in your lifetime! The Jetson Hover Craft works like a car, needing gasoline to make it run and using all the same controls that a car would. Unlike a car the Jetson Hover Craft contains a propeller on the bottom that spins up to 60 miles per hour to lift you up to 10 feet off the ground. By hovering over the top of other cars you are able to get places much faster. Two of the largest reasons getting places faster is possible is because the Jetson Hover Craft gives you the ability to create your own short cuts with no need of following a paved road and the other reason you are able to get places faster is having a Jetson Hover Craft enables you to simply zip over the top of any cars blocking your path.

The Jetson Hover Craft is styled with two wheels on either side of the craft as well as four on the bottom around the propeller. There will be guiding wings on both the right and the left in the back of the Jetson Hover Craft. The top of the Jetson Hover Craft is a large dome like window that we have tested to be un-breakable. The Jetson Hover Craft will be available for sale in five different colors. The colors are red, blue, black, gray, and yellow.
The Jetson Hover Craft will be sold at Jetson Retailers and will be coming out in early 2017. To place an order for the Jetson Hover Craft please call 5-500-Jetson.

#3 Breckenridge, Colorado


A sunny day on the slopes in Breckenridge, Colorado is all you will ever need. Once you get passed the head pains and the nausea that comes with altitude sickness, you will see how beautiful and untouched the snow caped mountains look out your car window. As you drive through downtown Breckenridge on your way to your condo you will notice people walking on the sidewalks bundled up in sweatshirts and snow pants usually wearing hats and gloves. This is a common sight to see in Breckenridge due to the coldness of the mountains. The moment you step out of your car you will be struck by the cool fresh air that will fill your lungs with pleasure. I'm sure you are not used to the taste of clean coming from the big city. As you bunk down in your condo for the night you will be able to feel the excitement of the new day bubbling inside of you making you want to burst. The new day has finally arrived and you are dressed and ready to go. You grab your skis and head for the hills. As you reach the mountains the air begins to feel colder and begins to sting your skin that you have not covered with clothing. You find the nearest chair lift and place yourself on it. You begin to feel a sinking feeling in your stomach as the chairlift climbs higher and higher up the mountain. Once you have reached the top of the hill, it is time to head directly right back down. You begin to push yourself towards the edge and then your off! You start off slowly but as the mountain gets steeper your speed quickens. You are racing down the hill a blur of trees around you on either side. You begin to feel the stinging cold slapping you in the face as you make your way down the mountain. Your face begins to burn, but you don't mind because the thrill keeps your mind off the pain. The end comes into sight and you begin to slow yourself down by pushing the edges of your skis deep into the snow. Your skis grab hold of the packed snow and bring you to a stop. You use your polls to dig down into the snow and lunge you forward towards the chairlift. You are ready for round two.

#1 Chicken and Soccer


1. Peers:
Peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese, bread and butter are perfect matches. Do you know what else is a perfect match? Chicken and Soccer. Maybe you didn't know that Chickens love to play soccer but they do. They can't get enough! Chickens are born into this world as naturally talented soccer players, if they practice they will get even better, but if they don't they usually loose their talent all together. Because chickens are all the same species they carry the same genes. Not all Chickens are the same, but every Chicken is born with the gene that makes them taste good and makes them fantastic soccer players. They are born with this gene because back in the 1970's scientists were experimenting with gene chips and the first animal to be tested with these gene chips were chickens. Scientists wanted to start slowly because they weren't sure of the effects of the chips. They decided to inject the chickens with soccer talent chips. The chips worked perfectly except that they are not permanent solutions. After this experiment the genes from the chickens were passed down generation after generation and now almost every chicken you will see can play a great game of soccer.
2. My Grandparents:
In 1970 a team of leading scientist made one of the most amazing discoveries. They had created a gene chip. A gene chip is something you inject into a brain and it will permanently distribute that gene in the brain. At first the scientists were sceptical and didn't want to try the first gene chip on a human. They decided one of the best animals to test on was a chicken because it has tough skin and can feel very little pain. Next the scientists needed to decide what kind of gene to put into the chicken. The scientists voted, and in the end came up with the decision to insert a soccer talent gene into the chickens. After they inserted the chips they found that the chips worked wonderfully on the chickens and that the chickens were great soccer players. But a couple of weeks after the experiment a few of the chickens stopped practicing and pretty soon lost all of their talent. The scientist are still working now to change the gene chip so you do not need to constantly practice the talent or gene you are given to keep it.
