King Kong: The WEI it Should Have Ended

April 27th, 2009

I just finished watching the movie Peter Jackson’s King Kong. I thought the movie was terrific. Really good special effects, and lots of good actions scenes. However, I am very much at odds with the end of the movie. I know this is just a re-make of the original, but still. It’s terribly sad how the great ape dies. The one thing Kong cared about was the beautiful Ann. He risked his life to be with her. And no matter, in the end he dies. It was tragic, how all the ape wanted, was simply to be with the beauty, and he ends up dying because of his simple want.

So, naturally, I said to myself, “Hey, I have a blog, why not write the way I think it should of ended?” So, this is exactly what I’m doing.

As the beast saw that the woman brought before him was not his love, Ann, the beast grew angry. It roared loudly, and started shaking his chains, terrifying the audience. The beast eventually broke free of it’s shackles, stood, and pounded it’s chest, and roared even louder in defiance of his captors. He than proceeded to make his way out of the theatre, and into the streets of the concrete jungle, New York. Terrified citizens ran and screamed in every direction from the mad beast. Kong smacked cars around as if they were balls as he continued his growling and roaring. In search of the beauty, Kong picked up several women hoping to find her. With his search going no where, Kong focused his attention on a trolley cart, trying to tear it apart and smash it up.

Eventually, Jack Driscoll decided to try and lure the beast away. He took a cab and got Kong’s attention. Kong took the bait. He followed the little taxi cab Jack was in through the streets of New York. Jack was swerving and sliding every desperately trying to keep out of the ape’s reach. Finally, Kong caught the little car and flipped it over. As the Kong stared angrily at the little man in the car, a woman came to his sight. The beautiful Ann walked towards the beast, not afraid, but happy. Kong grabbed Ann and took her to a park, away from everything. There, he held her in his hand and slipped and slided playfully along the iced up water. They were both filled with joy. For only moments however. They were interrupted when an artillery shell landed close and cracked the ice. The Kong started off to get away. All along his path were more military men shooting at him with whatever they had.

The Kong jumped onto buildings and ran along them, heading for the largest building, the Empire State Building. There, he began to climb up with one hand, all the way to the top. Kong put Ann down and looked at her, and she at him. They stayed peacefully for a few moments, until again their peace was interrupted, this time, by planes. The planes began circling the building, and Kong went to the very top and roared defiance. Then, the planes started shooting. Kong tried desperately to swing at them, but it was to no avail. The planes continued their attack, with the Kong helpless. However, Ann started yelling to get Kong’s attention as she proceeded to climb down the building. Kong took noticed and stop trying to catch the planes. He went down to get Ann. Once Kong had gotten Ann, she started pointing South. The Kong understood, and started heading South. He jumped from the building onto another, and another, until finally he jumped to the ground. Then he ran, fast as he could, to a heavily forested area, well out of the city now. There, he put Ann down, and they finally had some uninterrupted peace. Until Jack Driscoll found them. The Kong was asleep, and Ann talked to Jack, they went to the authorities and convinced them to bring Kong to an uninhabited island, not to far from the New York coast. Quietly, with Kong still asleep, he was brought to the island. With Ann and Jack. After spending quite some time with Kong, Ann explained as best she could that she had to leave, but she would be back to visit the ape as often as she could, and then, the story was over…

I know this can be better, but I just wanted to throw it out there. Any comments/criticism is welcomed. Thanks for reading.

Russian Troops quit Georgian areas

October 15th, 2008

Russian troops have pulled out from their self-imposed buffer zones around Georgia’s breakaway
regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia ahead of a Friday deadline. Russia and Georgia both confirmed the move. Now Russian troops are stationed only inside the two independent regions. Moscow plans to keep nearly 8,000 soldiers stationed in the two regions.

The Russians fought a brief war to fight back Georgian troops who were trying to take back South Ossetia by force in August.

Russia’s foreign minister stated that an EU mission monitoring the pull-out would be excluded from both territories

Russia’s move to recognize the two breakaway regions as independent states drew strong condemnation from Georgia and Western leaders.

“Life is Like A box of chocolates”

October 15th, 2008

Here’s a little essay about a simile that I feel suits my life(English homework)

For my “Life is like a box of chocolates” project I choose my simile to be “Life is like walking down a hallway with many corners.” Similes can have different interceptions from different people, but to me this simile mean that in life, you never know what’s coming up. I think this simile represents me well because I am constantly unsure about what will happen next, or what will “it” be

Exploring Physical Science: The Contraption

October 15th, 2008

Here is my homework, an essay on The Contraption

I thought the Contraption was incredible, I was amazed at how much work and creativness was obviously put into it. The amount of time and effort put into building The Contraption clearly showed, and it was amazing to see that the Contraption was made with mostly normal little household objects. I beleive the biggest motivation for the creators of The Contraption was how regular, little small things can really mkae up, and effect our lives , I also beleive that fun, and a knowledge of science were motivational factors.

There are seven linked matter and energy reactions in the edited Contraption video. First, the alarm rang when the second hand hit the 12 causing the rod to shake and fall, which hit the standing book down, causing the batteries in the paper to roll down into a small paper box connected to an object with a string. The weight of the batteries caused the object to go up and hit the manakin, like a pulley. The manakin swung, hitting CD dominoes, they all knocked down, and the last one hit a book, which fell over hitting something, and that something swung down and hit a ball. the ball rolled down a set track. At the end of the track the ball hit another ball, which fell off the top of the fire place hitting a blue ball, which swung and hit a yellow ball. The yellow ball hit an orange ball, sending it down a tiny set track connected to a little rod at the end. Lastly the rod hit an eject button on a little TV.

I have never seen a type of chain reaction that occured from The Contraption. However I have created something of this type, by setting up a few books like dominoes, then pusing one over. I have also seen a few videos where a long course of dominoes were set up, then one was knocked over, and the rest went in suit as they were hit. I beleive that most things like The Contraption are worth it, but they are a bit time consuming, and although they are fun, you could be doing better things with your time.

Game for good

October 3rd, 2008

A new game, Re-mission has been developed to help kids cope with cancer. The game involves being a character, and fighting your way through cancer in a patient’s body. So far the game has helped many children, such as by making them understand their sickness better, and by making them want to take their medicine.

Explosion in South Ossetia

October 3rd, 2008

In South Ossetia a blast killed seven Russian soldiers, and wounded seven Russian soldiers, a Russian commander said.

The blast was from a car bomb which was blown up near a Russian military base in the regional capital, Tskhinvali, local officials said.

Georgia accused Russia of organizing the explosion as an excuse to delay withdrawal of their troops from South Ossetia. But Russia accused Georgia, saying that it was an attempt to sabotage the agreement between the two sides.

A statement made by the South Ossetian breakaway government said that Russia troops had confiscated the vehicle that was blown up from an ethnic Georgian village because the vehicle was carrying weapons.

School: Contender Journal Entry

June 19th, 2008

Dear Journal

Gonna break into the Epstein’s store tonight, cause I ain’t got no money. I need more drugs, just this last time, then I’ll get myself a fix. Just gonna go in, take a bit, then get out, no big deal… I wonder what Alfred’s gonna be doing while I’m in the Epstein’s store. Probably be in some fight, gettin money and being famous. Just like Whitey, and forgetting about his friends, he don’t even care what happens to me anymore.

Maybe Major’ll help me… He could, all I gotta do is ask him… Never-mind, he’ll just take it for himself as soon as we get it. Greedy, stupid Major It’s all his fault I’m alone, and like this. His fault, Sonny’s fault, and Holli’s fault, they all just used me, to help themselves. They don’t care about me either, no one does anymore, no one…

What’s gonna happen now? Will I die from this, all alone? All these drugs, make me feel good, but are they good for me? I hope that maybe I’ll get off this stuff, maybe get a fix. And maybe Alfred will start losin’ fights, and he’ll come to find me, we’ll be a team again….Maybe.

Maybe Alfred will even help me; maybe he’ll help me break into the Epstein’s store…. No, not him either too good to do something like that, just try to talk me outta it, try to stop me. Tell me I don’t gotta do it, tell me I should get a fix, but I just need to get some drugs one more time, then the fix. I hope he’ll understand, but if he don’t then I’ll have to do it myself.
