Amber argues that St. Elmo’s Fire is worth watching for college students because, “It demonstrates how graduation signifies the end of innocence and the beginning of adulthood.” I agree with thid quote i was not in class to see this movie because i was sick, but i did rent it on my own time. I think that this quote really demonstrates what the whole movie is about, it is the type of movie that shows how just going from a teenager to adulthood can be life changing. This movie had to do with groups of friends, just out of college that struggle with adulthood. Their main problem is that they’re all self-centered and annoying. It is a film that has a young cast in it, but it is a film that does a great job of dealing with a real life issues. I didn’t take any quotes out of the movie because i think that the one that Amber chose pretty much covered the whole movie.

“And my life was put in the hands of young men I would otherwise never have met, by and large high-school dropouts, who turned to be among the finest people i have ever known.”

I chose this quote because I liked how the writer brought this up in his essay, i thought it was really interesting how he explains this statement or should I say quote so well, it really made me realize that some of those people who had dropped out of my high school a lot of them probibly had no where to go, so they did turn to the Military or the Marines or some part of the guards. It also reminded me of my brother’s best friend, he was a high school dropout and has been in the guards for a while now, he is one of the most respectable people i’ve ever met and what I truely call a hero. Even though having a high school deploma is important to many people, often times having to take that risk and turn to something that you feel is more important in your life, like fighting for our country.

I think the author’s thesis is trying to get others to understand that the draft is often better for our people instead of them having to try to munipulate men or women into joining.

The man that I interveiwed was Lucky luck, he was born in may 1917 and is now 90 years old. He is still married to his wife Mildred for 50 years, they are living together at Keystone Bluffs Nursing home. Lucky is a very quiete kind of guy, but loved to talk about his wife and two kids, so I decided to focus my essay on his family.

“Comedians have made jokes about gay-marraige contreversy along predictable lines..”

 Sure that’s a comedians job is to make anyone and everyone laugh, but to me making fun of gay-marraiges is probibly not something that is a great topic. I don’t necesarily disagree with gay -marraige it’s just something that’s someone’s personal choice and their business. I believe that anyone and everyone should have the right to be happy, and if two gay couples want to get married then so be it! Comming back to the quote, i beleive that sometimes comedians have topic that are too scetchy to talk about, and gay-marraige is one.
