Favorite App
Snapchat
To start off with, snapchat is an app that you can send pictures with short little messages. While using snapchat, you can send pictures to other people. The picture can be set to disappear within how ever many seconds you set it for. In the past months, recent updates have came out enabling the users to chat with each other without using any images. Many people like using snapchat because it is free and it can be used to text. Although a person needs internet access to use snapchat, many people use it. To sum it up Snapchat is an app me and many others use.Movie Review
To start off, Holes is a movie labeled as a children’s movie, but it is actually fun for the whole family to watch. Holes does give some fun scenes for kids, but it also keeps an actual storyline to follow. This movie is somewhat revolutionary by allowing the whole family to enjoy watching it. I liked this movie because it shows how when people don't want to do work, they don't work very hard, but when they have a reward for the work they will work faster. In this movie there are some very suspenseful points. Another reason why I like this movie because it is very emotional at some points. I enjoy the flashbacks in the movie most. The reason why I enjoy the flashbacks most is because they help explain the story. Another reason why I enjoyed this movie is because I already read the book called Holes. And another reason why I think this movie is a fantastic production is because it has great actors. Some of the actors include Sigourney Weaver, Shia LaBeouf, Khleo Thomas, and more.
