Shrek 3


This weekend I saw Shrek 3 and it was awesome! If you don't already know here's the story so far Shrek is a lovable green ogre who was sent to go rescue a princess- Fiona, for another prince, Shrek was all business at first but then he and Fiona fell in love and got married. Right after their honeymoon the newly wed couple goes to Fiona's parents-King and Queen of Far Far Away, for dinner. When a Fairy God Mother discovers Fiona and Shrek are married she reminds the king about a deal they agreed on years ago that Fiona should have married Prince Charming (her son). The king then hires a cat named Puss-in-Boots to kill Shrek things go slightly array when Shrek drinks a potion to make him look human and it somehow works on Fiona too Prince Charming uses it to his advantage since Fiona doesn't know what Shrek looks like as a human... to make a long story short Fiona finds out the truth and they live happily ever after.Now the story picks up with The king of Far Far Away dying and Shrek has to either become king or find a new one and it follows his wacky adventure with his trusty side kicks a smart ass donkey(named Donkey) and a cute cat(puss in boots) to do so and just as Shrek leaves Charming comes back to steal the throne... In my opinion Shrek 3 is the best Shrek movie so far because the animation is sooo much better the story flows better and the characters are still just as funny... I encourage everyone who likes Shrek to go see this one.

Poor Paris

Ha! so I was reading a magazine yesterday in class and I saw this story about Paris Hilton going to jail! that kinda made me chuckle since it was for DUI and violation of her probation(suspension of her license). So now she's sentenced to 45 days in jail which Paris thinks is unfair since she could have killed some one but Paris thinks everyone is out to get her because she's famous (it has nothing to do with her being careless and irresponsible and thinking that because she is a celebrity makes it OK to drink and drive/driving with a suspended licence ). The 45 days spends in there will be awful she won't get make-up, her cellphone, her dog, drugs or alcohol... poor Paris! This might be a good thing for Paris since she's had no boundaries before. My question is why didn't she have a body guard or a chauffeur to drive her c'mon she's worth millions and millions of dollars she should have a body guard... any ways she's probably going to pay some people lots of money to stay out of jail, so in the long run she's probably going to get a few hours of community service, wow that's going to teach her a lesson. Another thing i find funny is the fact that people have made petitions to keep Paris out of jail because she "brings joy to people"... are you kidding me?? what has she really even done? except be a spoiled brat.

Rosa Parks

Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Alabama on Feb 4, 1913 for most of her life she grew up on a farm with her grand parents her mom and her brother. Rosa was home schooled until she was 11 after that she went to the Industrial School for Girls and then went on to the Alabama Teachers College to study sciences but couldn't complete it because she had to take care of her sick mother and grandmother. She later then got married to Raymond Parks who was active in ending racism and trying to bring equality to African American's, Rosa was heavily influenced by him so she went back to get her highschool diploma and became an active member of National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP).
In 1955 segregation was at a peak African Americans had no rights what so ever they couldn't go to the same schools, they couldn't go in the front of restaurants they had to go in through the back, and they had to sit at the back of the bus and if a white person wanted to sit where a black person was sitting, the black person had to give their seat to the white person. Who was riding a bus one day when a white person wanted her seat. When Parks refused to give up her seat, a police officer arrested her. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, "Why do you push us around?" The officer's response as she remembered it was, "I don't know, but the law's the law, and you're under arrest." She later said, "I only knew that, as I was being arrested, that it was the very last time that I would ever ride in humiliation of this kind." People said that Rosa Parks was "Sweet and soft spoken but made a statement that screamed so loud."
