To view the perfect script

To make good script and to get it accepted is not the same thing, many good scripture are not accepted because a) Making a long introduction on script that you send,
b) making an even longer script
c) taking a long while to get to the point of the story, and or without any character evolving at any point.

When I was googling Script writing I found an interesting site called script magazine made for writers to both find other writers and work or just to see what is going on in the world of writing.

Ok I went over the list on the site my teacher recommended for us and found 2 of the 3 movies I was going to write about so I googled the last site and found another website for it witch is listed bellow

the movies I am going with are
a)
Boondock Saints - is probably on of those movies I have watched the most and know back and forward
and is the only one that I did not find on the website so I googled it like I said above and found a website known as
http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/boondock-saints-script.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US6eHQ8wFO8&feature=related
ok so I know it is reeeeeally evil to laugh at this scene but the first time I saw it I had to pause the movie I laughed so much.
there is no difference in the script and the scene so there isnt much to talk about it.
b)


Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
is one of the more stranger movies of the 20th century but one of the best...

the difference was mainly that they either changed the dialog or deleted it.
c)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail -

Is one of the classic movies I took today,

this scene is about a foul rodent that can nibble your bum

Short stories

In my googling-research I found a website called Short Story Archive, First thing I saw was it is very dull website, it does not catch the surfer right a way, I wanted to close it and start looking for something else but decided to stick with it for now, the website has all in all a lot of different short stories, from writers such as Mark Twain who wrote stories such as adventures of Huckleberry Finn to HC Andersen with his naked Emperor and the ugly duckling and so many more that some of us know and cherish.

How to define a short story, I personally would go with a story that is about a single event and is not long enough to be published as a whole book, that they are in shorter volume than normal books.

I ended with google once again (cant understand what people did before google, in a couple of years they will have restarted the calendar and the year null would be when google was invented)

and the definition of "Short Stories" is the following "short story, a fictional prose tale of no specified length, but too short to be published as a volume on its own, asnovellas sometimes and novels usually are. A short story will normally concentrate on a single event with only one or two characters, more economically than a novel's sustained exploration of social background..." -as taken from Literary dictionary.

 

ok so I decided to Read a couple of the short stories, and went with stories and others I had never heard about (always fun trying something new :) )

The Girl Who Owned a Bear is a remarkable short story that I actually liked witch I was more or less not expecting, the story shows how some do things that has more consequences

Here are links to the websites I surfed

I just started school again and my teacher asked us to make a blog about, well what we were doing in her classroomand I wanted to start it with making a short reviews about the first two articles she asked us to do.

the first one I'm gonna review is dubbed 

The Internet Generation Prefers the Real World

and is about how kids nowadays prefer to play outside with their friends rather than stay indoors and play on the computer and how things that should be amazing is nonchalant nowadays.

the later one bears the name

The new literacy: Stanford study finds richness and complexity in students' writing

I liked this article it shows that people nowadays write a lot more than they used to do and tells us about Professor Andrea Lundsford and her study at Stanford university that took five years to complete.

Professor Lundsford asked 243 students to participate in her study and she got 189 responds to her request, the study revolved around that the students would send her their writings in class, but she got so much more, 15.000 pieces of writing in 11 languages was sent to her and barely 60 percent was made in their classroom, they sent her poets,  blogs, posts etc. etc. 

This is not the final form of this blog I'm probably going to change this blog a bit but for now this will do
