Day 1 of the Last Week of School

Over the weekend I saw a really interesting documentary called Man on Wire.  On August 7, 1974, a 24-year-old French high-wire artist named Philippe Petit committed one of the most astonishing performance stunts of the late 20th century.  He strung a thin cable in between the two towers of the World Trade Center and not only walked across, from one building to another, but did a nerve-wracking series of knee-bends and acrobatic movements on the cable, some 1,350 feet above the ground, before turning himself in. The documentary shows the chain of events leading up to the high-wire walking.  Another movie that I would recommend watching is Unthinkable.  I watched this movie in my philosophy class a few weeks ago because it delves into the topic of human rights verse government.  The movie actually came out in 2010 but it is highly controversial and was banned from many theatres.  I would consider it a psychological thriller and it is starring Samuel L Jackson and Carrie-Ann Moss.  The movie raises a lot of moral and philosophical questions and I plan on addressing them in my next paper due in philosophy.  This morning I finally went to the grocery store and when I picked up my milk I realized how fast the month of December is moving.  My milk doesn’t expire until the 10^th!   After the grocery store I went to the library to start my next history paper.  I took bus number 98 because it was raining.  The paper needs to be 12 pages and I am going to focus on Garibaldi and the unification of Italy.
