Real Story 1. Captain Phillips, his crew, the four Somali pirates, Captain Larry Aashiem, and some Navy SEALS 2. I expect the plot to start with Captain Phillips and his crew going off to sea on their boat, the MV Maersk Alabama. They were headed to east Africa and were warned to stay 600 nautical miles away from the coast. The trip goes fine until four Somali pirates manage to board the ship.     Captain Phillips was then captured by the pirates and held hostage on their lifeboat. The crew had captured one of the pirates, and attempted to exchange the pirate for Phillips, but they were tricked by the pirates, and ended up without Phillips.     Then two other ships came to respond to the situation. The Maersk Alabama left, and the two ships, captained by Larry Aashiem, and some Navy SEALS successfully rescued Phillips in the end. 3. This story is important because it taught sailors the lesson about how dangerous Africa's east coast can be, and what they ne...

I would give the movie review a 8/10 because it gave a lot of helpful details, but still after reading it I had some unanswered questions. 4. There's a lot of well-executed action in the movie, as well as references from other movies. 5. By the end, it gets a bit boring as the plot slows down, and the viewer starts to get tired of watching "someone else play a video game for too long." 6. " Ready Player One  is pure Thriller, until you eventually look at your watch and want to Beat it." Isle of Dogs 1. Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs is a tenderhearted, eccentric canine tale 2. Leah Greenblatt 3. I would give this review a 9/10 because it left me with no questions and really explained how the movie went very well. 4. The high points were the animations, theme, and soundtrack. 5. The low point was ...

Debt, like students loans keep them away from credit cards because they want to manage their money better in order to avoid overspending. 4. The Shape of Water 5. The idea is to create a sober place to be social Long Response: 1. I think guns should be more strictly controlled because weapons like assault rifles don't have a need for a place in today's society. Those kind of guns were created to hurt people, with the word "assault" in the name. As Americans, we have the right to bear arms, so of course lawmakers can't completely take that away, but that amendment was also made hundreds of years ago and times have changed. I believe in the saying, "gun don't kill people, people kill people," but if guns aren't more strictly controlled, these "people" can easily get them to do a...
