The Car Accident

     At 4:45, three Austin citizens were involved in a car accident at the intersection of First Street and Slaughter Lane.
     "I've never seen anything like this happen before," witness, Tim McCarthy said. "It happened so quickly and it was very unexpected."
     Roger Clementine, 13, was speeding and driving in the wrong lane when his car collided with Melba, 67, and John Jacob Jingleheimer-Smith's car going 10 miles per hour.
     "I was just trying to get to my friends house," Clementine said. " I have driven many times before, but I have never been in an accident. I think I'm a pretty good driver."
     An ambulance arrived 10 minutes after the accident and all three people were taken to the hospital. Clementine had minor cuts on his face, Melba had a bloody nose, and John suffered from a  head injury and is in serious condition as of now.
     "I am glad I only suffered from a bloody nose," Melba said. "It could've been a lot worse for me. Right now, I am just hoping John will be okay."
     The Smiths were driving in a 1989 Yugo Firebelcher and Clementine was driving a 1948 Studebaker. The Yugo was completely destroyed and the Studebaker has a crumpled fender.
    "The Studebaker is my uncle's," Clementine said. "I am fine, but the car is in pretty bad condition. My uncle doesn't know about it yet, and I am nervous about him finding out about it."
     After the accident, police cited Clementine for speeding and driving without a license. Clementine's mother, Jane Clementine said she will not let Roger drive again until he has his license.
     "I did't know he was going to drive alone," Jane said. "I have let him drive when I'm in the car before, but I will not let him drive again alone after this situation."

" But what if we are talking about a  great  horror movie with befanged aliens? And what if the movie is about a good deal more than simply scaring us? What if it features a richly imagined family attempting to survive not only the monsters without but the demons within?" Film review: Isle of Dogs is visually stunning, but culturally questionable 1. Rotten Tomatoes 2. Chris Newbould 3. 9 4. good attention to details, beautifully constructed sets, visually stunning, quirkily entertaining 5. Orientalism, leaves too many uncomfortable question marks 6. " It’s for this reason I haven’t rated the movie slightly higher – as a work of animation it is beyond reproach, aesthetically, rhythmically and wondrously hitting the target every time. As a cultural stat

   Going to church on Christmas and Easter was always an expectation in my family. Crosses of assorted colors and sizes covered the walls of my grandmother's house. I can't think of a time where we didn't say grace before a meal. For as long as I can remember, religion has been a large part of my family, but I've never been able to truly connect with the the prayers and things said in Church.    I remember my mom always trying to get me to go to church with her, then I would make up excuses to get out of going. While I know going to Church it is very important to some people, I have never felt the need to go or understood why it was so necessary. One time my mom told me she felt like she didn't do a good job of raising my sister and I because of our lack of religiousness. When she said that, I felt like I had disappointed her, but I knew that no matter how much I prayed or attended Church, my feelings about religion wouldn't change. I don't think being rai
