Going to the Movies


My first weekend with my Alabama family has been very exciting. I have seen many first in this small city. Everyone knew that the doctors had recommended that I relax until I am completely used to my new body. My cousins had a great idea on how to spend my first weekend in the city. We all went to see a movie. This was the first time I had been to the movies in ages! You see, I did not leave the farm much and when I did, there was certainly no time to see a movie. Needless to say, I was very excited. The first thing we needed to do was decide which one to see. There were so many choices! Finally we all settled on the new comedy Ride Along starring some fellas named Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. It took me awhile to wrap my mind around somebody’s name being Ice Cube, but my cousins explained to me that it was just a screen name. They were even able to show me his real name and information on their phone through an app called IMDB. I thought this app would be great if anyone wanted to create biography or do research on current or past celebrities. I am sure students everywhere would enjoy creating a timeline for a celebrity they admire. However, an adult would need to monitor the use, just incase they were to stumble onto something inappropriate. They could just stand close by the teacher as they use the app for a monitored period of time. The teacher could even use this time to have the student read from the app and evaluate reading skills.

The movie was hilarious. My favorite part was when the little guy, Kevin Hart, was wresting the huge bad guy. The whole idea was that Kevin would ride around with his girlfriends cop brother in order to prove that he was “man enough” to marry his sister. Well, Kevin proved himself and helped Ice Cube’s character catch the bad guy!
