"Star Wars IV: A New Hope"

"The force is strong in this one."
         Luke Skywalker was an average Joe, but only on the outside. Inside, he was filled with his father's ability and force power, and also, his master's, Obi Wan Kenobi, patience and wit. This movie was a fantastic sequence of light saber battles, flying scenes, and the strategy of war. My father has been wanting me to see this movie for a while, so we were both delighted when I found out that I had an excuse for fitting this movie into our busy lives.
        This movie is not just an everyday movie. It makes you feel for Luke, because maybe you feel like him sometimes. Or maybe you just like it because R2-D2 is a hilarious little astro-droid. Probably both, but the more important one is the first. George Lucas made you believe that you could be a nobody and then, through natural talent, become a somebody (a dream that all people have). For example, I wish that I could be discovered by some great fencing master, and be whisked away to some taciturn instructing arena in a small European country for my swordsmanship. But Lucas makes you believe that, if a simple farmboy from Tattoine can become the one hope for the galaxy, then anything is possible.

Nantahala Trip

"All my friends are in my cabin: Austin Lewis, Thomas Moon, David Blue, Drew Moore, and Harrison Long (but I don't know Harrison that well)" I had such a fun time at Nantahala, by just hanging out with my friends. Whether it was on the river, on the lake, or just hanging out in the cabin. Actually, the funniest things that happened on that trip happened in the cabin. One time, Moon had been going to the bathroom, and then Mr. Rice (who was the adult looking over us because we had a cabin to ourselves) went in. He came out saying, "Moon, you up in the loft?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Moon, you clogged the shitter!"
Just spending time in my cabin was a great experience, because being with my friends is more fun than any adventure.
