It's time a female super hero film emerged among the latest Marvel releas"Wonder Woman" is one of the few movies that captivated my attention for a complete two hours and 21 minutes. The film truly lives up to its reputation and 92 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Although it's an action flick, there's a minimal amount of violence and the fighting scenes do not take away from the overall narrative. These scenes also contained well-designed special effects and slow motion, which created suspense. Furthermore, humorous lines appear in various scenes and add comedic relief to the film's intensity. The narrative was engaging and moved along. Dull moments rarely arose.

"Wonder Woman" effectively illustrated the realities of war. Pilot and spy Steve Trevor at one point told Diana that the British peopled lived in No Man's Land because the Germans would shoot them I'f they tried to cross the trench. In addition, Diana was sad that innocent people, including children, died and that marksmen shot their victims without knowing who they actually were. The movie reminds viewers that wars are brutal and that people fight for survival, even if it means some must perish.

Diana can inspire many people today because she commits to her task, even when others persuade her to give up. She also puts others first and never does anything for her own benefit. Diana doesn't even let her mother halt her pursuit of justice. She demonstrates courage throughout the narrative and frequently takes risks that endanger her life.

Diana's fight with Ares demonstrates how people can overcome evil if they push past dark forces and seek light. People in our world today may convince us to act dishonorably, but we must uphold integrity, overcome pressure , and act honorably.

The villains in "Wonder Woman" show how selfishness and corrupt thinking can motivate people to commit terrible crimes––the same sort of thinking that has caused other great conflicts in history and turned families and friends against each other.

Lastly, “Wonder Woman” conveys how humans are naturally sinful and no amount of wishful thinking can change that. Even the most loving people cannot transform the most malicious––each person is independent must choose good themselves. However, those who show kindness and mercy can catalyze change and transform the world around them. In the end, Diana learned that she can fight against evil, even although she cannot completely destroy war.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
