Boot Camp

I picked Boot Camp as the book I would like to read. The reason I picked was that I thought it was an interesting book to read and it was. To write a book like this the author would have to know things and rules about boot camps also how the kids going to the boot camp must be treated and also how much it would cost the parents to send them there. By reading this book I could tell the author was trying to tell its readers that not all people that are sent to boot camps are really bad kids it is just not the way the parents want their kids. I could tell the author doesn’t like the idea of kids going to boot camp because they are not how the parents want them to be. I think the author wrote this book to show what really goes on in these boot camps and how the kids are being treated even if they really didn’t do anything bad to begin with: like Pauly one of the kids in boot camp in the book and the only reason he’s in boot camp is because he wasn’t manly enough for he his father so he was sent to boot camp. I really enjoyed reading this book so I would read another book written by Todd Strasser. This book takes place in a boot camp which is surrounded by nothing but forest to make it hard for people to escape.  There wasn’t really to suggest when this book took place book it must have been pretty close to 1990’s because of the cars and speedboat they used. I have never been to a boot camp and would never want to go to one because it sounds like torture and brutal. The best description there was, was in the begin as Garrett just arrived to the camp. The author best sets the atmosphere in the very begin when he talks about the camp and outside the camp.

The Exorcist

Is the exorcist still scary like it was in 1973? I personally think it isn’t only because of the movie’s quality and graphics. I think if I is was around in 1973 and I saw the movie it would be the scariest movie I have ever seen but being 2010 the movie is really outdated and really fake. The concept of the movie is still a little scary about the little girl being possessed by the devil for having played with the wigi board and then the girl starts to kill people that part is scary. But the parts that aren’t scary are the parts with the fake vomit, the possessed girl walking down the stairs backwards and the floating bed. But the director had good ideas in making of the movie like the customs and where everything took place and the characters. The actors did a very good job but compare to the movies of today like the Orphan the Exorcist is not that scary. I think is the movie had today’s technology the movie would be way better.

This is the scariest part of the whole movie the way she looks and the scars on her face and the way she is looking at the camera.  

These were the fakest scenes of the whole movie the vomit, the head turning and the floating girl. These scenes weren’t even scary in fact these scenes were actually pretty funning.

Scary Movies

My favorite kind of movies are scary movies because I just love getting scared and also I like the suspense in scary movies. I like suspence in scary movies because you get that feeling in your stomach that something bad is going to happen and then all of sudden the beat to the song that is playing gets faster and faster. Those are the reasons I like watching scary movies.The first scary movie I every watch was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The reason I watch it was because there wasn’t anything good on TV so my older brother said  “lets watch a movie”, so he started to look for one in a cabinet we had with all of the movies we had but never watched because our parent told us not to because they were bad movies to watch but my parents weren't home so we could do what ever we wanted. And after looking through all the movies he finally picked out a movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We had already heard from our parent that the movie was really scary and they told us not to watch it but that made us want to watch it even more so we put the movie into the VCR and press play.  The best part was right before watching the movie when my brother tells me that it’s based on a true story and that already got me a little scared. As I was watching the movie I was just thinking about how this really happen to real people and that got me a little freck out. What especially got me scared was when the bad guy would just pop out of nowhere with his scary demented face and attack or kill someone. But I really enjoyed watching this movie and it became one of my favorite movies because I just love the suspense in the movie. So from then on I started to like scary movie and me and my brother watched every scary movie we had. But my favorite kind of scary movies are the ones based on a true story. Just knowing that it really happen just freaks me out and for some reason the movie becomes more interesting and I have to watch it.
