Blog 5: ‘Twilight’ Leads at U.S. Box Office

Ever since the author Stephanie Meyer started with her hit books starting with Twilight it’s been a huge hit, but now with the movie dropping in this weekend. I read an article on the New York Times called ‘Twilight’ Leads at U.S. Box Office written by Brooks Barnes on November 23, 2008. The movie set their point to selling about 60 million dollars, but it made 70 million dollars. Summit entertainment that sponsored the movie had a huge outcome with the movie. The movie appears Kristen Stewart that plays the role of Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson who plays the role of Edward Cullen. The book is about a girl who is Bella that moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington with her dad. In school she met Edward who she falls deeply in love with Edward, but without her knowing that he is a vampire she starts figuring out towards the end who he really is. I went to go watch the movie and the author proved his point it was hard to get this ticket every theater sold out and the theaters were packed people were sitting in their seats for a couple of hours trying to get good spots. Now with Twilight leaving anxious for the other movie that is set to be filmed soon New Moon many teenage girls can’t wait for the other movie.

I found an interesting article on cnn.com called More than 100 homes burned in California blaze in California there was been many massive fires going on. With all the fires going on in Southern California it has burned over 150 home and 1,500 acres. On Friday they are trying to say that there was been only one death. People are losing their homes and these fires are devastating people’s lives now people have no homes and lost almost everything they had. Some fires are taking place in Santa Barbara County and many mansions have been burned down and 5,500 people had to be evacuated. Sadly a 98-year-old man that had to be evacuated from the Santa Barbara Deputy died when they took him to a hotel they aren’t sure what caused his death if it was his condition or that he was evacuated. The fire has threatened the power supply which is a bad thing. The winds have contributed to the cause of the fire spreading around. Some firefighters received several burns and they been trying to calm down the fires form day to night. We have to thank them for what they have done and trying to save peoples lives.

Blog#2:Biden's mother-in-law dies

Biden’s mother-in-law sadly died so he canceled the election banquets he had on Monday and Tuesday. This article is called Biden's mother-in-law dies written by Alexander Marquardt on October 5, 2008. This has just been hard because the election was just over and theses and Obama’s grandmother died which seems very sad for over vice-president and our president. Biden just doesn’t want anyone to be invading their privacy and trying to get into his business right now since it practically doesn’t involve people business since it’s nothing political. He would just appreciate for people to respect there family in not interfering into their business. Even though they knew her situation where she was ill they weren’t expecting for this to occur this soon. The doctor only requested for them to be by her side and not leave her unattended on this hard days for her. This was just a big hit for the vice president.

Blog #1:Russia: Fire system caused 20 sub deaths

This article is called Russia: Fire system caused 20 sub deaths which talks about a Russian Nuclear Submarine that killed twenty people and twenty-one people were seriously injured. This occurred on Saturday when a test run was occurring in the Sea of Japan. This was caused by a malfunctioning in the fire safety in which it spread chemicals. This was the worst accident since the other nuclear submarine accident which sank and killed all one-hundred and eight crews which that’s really devastating. In this submarine accident there were two-hundred and eight passengers and eighty-one of them were soldiers that were boarding. The problem with these situations is the chemicals with this type of experiments. Even though with the damage it didn’t affect the nuclear reactor, but it was still able to get to shore and arrived to its destination. The article didn’t introduce an author, but it just stated the things that our world is passing through.
