Oliver Stone And Chapman
Oliver Stone is about to embark on a mission to Russia in search for the terrorists. Stone and Chapman are on the hot trail of the terrorists, but just can’t seem to catch a break. The terrorist group is eliminating everybody they paid off to work for them, so the FBI can’t get any information off of them. The most important reasons I am rating this book an A- are because it has been slow paced, Stones unique backround, and the story is unique.

My first point to why I rated this book the way that I did is that it is slow paced. The Pinnacle of the story line developed really early in the book with the explosion at the park near the white house. The story continued to be fast paced with all of the killings, and the witnesses giving their

The book starts in Washington D.C. just outside of the White House, and starts out very fast paced. The bomb goes off sending everybody into mad chaos, and there were also gunshots being fired at the same time. One witness says, “The bomb was the loudest noise I have heard in my life”(Baldacci 89). This shows how the book portrays a very clear image of the bombing. The bomb destroyed the park and there was a lot of debris surrounding the bombsite. The book than continues to Quantico, Virginia where Stone and Chapman analyze the footage of from the bombsite. They found out that an overweight jogger fell into the hole where the bomb was planted, after he heard gunshots. They went and talked to the victims’ mom, and she said that he was trying to lose weight to impress a girl. His timing at the park was inopportune, and his mother will have to suffer knowing that her son was taken from the world early. Oliver and Chapman start figuring out more information, which leads them to believe that the terrorists are from Russia. Stone and Chapman are scheduled to head to Russia in search of the terrorists. That is where I am at in the book right now, and hopefully the book ends up

    I could not stop reading it because my heart was racing and I needed to know what was going to happen next. Because this is a true story, it is hard to realize that the events recounted in this book actually occurred. For these reasons, I rated Lone Survivor as a ten.…

    I rate this book a 2 out of 4 because I feel like the author could’ve extended the book in many different ways. One example is that the author didn’t explain and describe the actual two people who killed Mr. and Mrs. Lee, she just stated that they were thrown in jail. The length of this book was also a bit diminutive in my opinion. The idea of the book was wonderful which makes me feel that the climax could’ve been bigger and a bit longer which would’ve made it a better book. Another reason why this book held me back from rating it a 3 was that, the way Mike and Rebecca found Amanda Brown wasn’t as intense compared to other mystery books I have read. For example, when Rebecca found Amanda’s number from Cecilia, she searched Amanda’s address…

    Although at times it was hard to follow what was exactly happening in the book. I felt like the book jumped around a lot because each chapter was a different event that happened throughout the year. I didn’t know when the events occurred so at times it was confusing. In addition, the book was older so it was hard to make connections with the book and my everyday life.…

    Ethan Coen, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are the definitions of great filmmakers. First of all a great film maker needs to have a great story. Ethan Coen has his own genre when he makes movies. He tends to make movies that have a very intelligent lead actor, and they usually follow a man who is going through a hard time in their life. His movies are very intelligent but at the same time are humorous. His movies give one moments where they laugh, cry, and he also inspires you to do what you enjoy. Quentin Tarantino is the complete opposite of Ethan Coen. Quentin Tarantino’s films are filled with action from the beginning to end. He provides with very entertaining movies. While being entertaining his movies are also…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    Like everything the book also has flaws to it. I personally do not like history so I did not savor 1776 as much as I would a book of my choice. The Revolutionary War is not a favorite time period of mine that I would pick a book to read about, which is an issue to anyone. Not knowing the key points of the war could also make the book slightly confusing and the plot a bit vague. The details given are swell but so many people and places are given with so many details which makes it’s tough to understand what’s essential to the overall plot.…

    I would rate this book 3.5 stars out of 5. The lack of establishing conflicts throughout the novel was disappointing. However, I would still recommend this novel to others as it covers a very important issue and teaches readers what it feels like to be in the shoes of a refugee. Do not expect an incredibly exciting or sad story, because that is not what The Bone Sparrow…

    Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…

    It most likely starts with a meteor, and that meteor turns off all technology. Everyone is worried about this, and it gets worse when Jason says that this event is just like Independence Day [blaming aliens]. But unlike the original, people shoot that idea down. Instead, Phyllis says terrorists could be planning an invasion [which is a lot more believable, given the time period]. Dylan [Charlie’s equivalent] boosts this fear by saying that the terrorists could be going for the reservoir. People look down the street, at the house where a family moved in [I’ll call them the newbies]. The people of Maple Street get suspicious, and Will [Steve’s equivalent] and Dylan go to check it out. The family doesn’t open the door. So they head back. Later, the father of the family returns, in his car [also the lights in the house of the newbies are on], so Will goes to talk to the father. When Will comes back and the group asks how it went, Will says they aren’t terrorists. When the family asked if they should come outside, Will said no. Dylan, being the ringleader of the suspicion, points a gun at Will’s head, thinking he is the terrorist. Will makes a speech about that any of them could be terrorists, and that the terrorists are using their fear so they can mistrust each other, and then attack each other. Instead of continuing to finger point, the…
