Prince Caspian review

Prince Caspian from the beloved Chronicles of Narnia series written by C. S. Lewis, comes to life through Walt Disney's production directed by Andrew Adamson. The main character, Prince Caspian, from the magical world of Narnia once lived a pampered life in the palace being groomed to become the next king of Narnia by his uncle, King Miras. But the birth of Miras' own son changes everything. Once next in line for the throne, he now is running for his life. With the help of his professor, Dr. Cornelius. From duels to battlefields to magical appearances of past kings and queens from 1,000 years before, he must prove to the creatures of Narnia that  they can put their trust in him as their new established king. Caspian, with his newly formed army under High King Peter, back from the past, must wage war against the dark forces of his uncle's Telmarine soldiers. The gripping drama, the tense battles, and the mysterious magical occurences make this a very entertaining experience.

Deerslayer dad

My dad is an avid hunter. He loves to hunt and everything about hunting. It does not matter to dad what he hunts,deer,turkeys,coyotes,it makes no difference. I can remember growing up dad was a truckdriver and was often on the road, but when he returned I always knew he would ask me to go hunting with him. The two of us would spend hours in the woods waiting for the that unluck deer, turkey, coyote, ect, to come by. Some of the best mommets of my childhood were spent with dad in the deer woods. We would find the perfect tree, that was in the perfect spot,hoping find the perfect deer. I will never forget that elbow in my ribs,and that harsh whisper,"dont move, here they come"my heart would pound and my hands would shake with excitement. I would look at dad,he would be motionless, eyes never blinking,until that fateful moment when he would take the shot. Whether or not the shot was successfull I will never forget dads smile and his typical response"I knew they would be coming from there! ""Didnt I tell ya they would come from there?! "My heart would swell with pride,and I could not help but think that my dad was the smartest man in the world.

English HW- My Fav Book

Frederick Faust is best known as Max Brand(pen-name). A very popular fictional writer. He wrote books for many audiences. His books covered nearly every field including crime, fantasy, historical romance, espionage, westerns, scifi, adventure, animal stories, love, war, etc...  He's probably best known for his western works, including my favorite Dead or Alive. In this novel, Brand depicts the character, young Nelson Gray, a typical cowboy. Gray was forced into a gunfight that was not of his making in the which he killed his man and was placed in prison under a murder charge. He was forced to break prison, escaping vigilantes. He had every intention of turning outlaw, bitter that his friends had not come to his aid until he met Bobbie Mead, a charming young woman who believes in his innocence. Through many turns and events and with Bobbie's influence, Gray manages to stay on the straight and narrow and eventually clear his name. Brand's realistic view of the West coupled with his outstanding writing abilities, make his books a well-worth read.
