This artical has a point. Kids do skip a lot of school especially when they hit highschool. I have a lot of friends that do skip, and I know it doesn't help them in the long run. This artical is trying to show that kids aren't just effecting there education, that they are effecting other kids education because when the skip, the school doesn't get money. I am one of those people that support this idea because I think it will keep kids out of trouble. When you have kids in sixth grade skipping school, something is wrong with the parents. I mean parents should be making there kids go to school, unless they are one of those parents that don't care what their kid does.
I did see how it was like Brave New World. In the book they do try to control the world. Come on that is just messed up. We should not try to control people this way, but it is an effective way to do things.

Zio's was a good family reasurant. Your kids are able to draw on the paper they put on the tables, and you can just enjoy a sweet dinner with the family. I wouldn't recommend having a big party there or anything, but the food was good. Zio's is an Italian reasturant, with some American food. The reasurant was a little crowded, but had that nice Italy feel to it. It was peaceful, not to loud, and I would go back. They have many types of foods though. We have the Italian food, to Steak, to even nachos.
The waiter we had, was kind of bad. It took him awhile to get our stuff to us, he seemed a little out of it, Though that was one set back, the rest of the time was good. I tried many different foods, because I was with the family. I had the Chicken Parmigiana. ($11.79) The chicken was tender, not over cooked, just right. I have never had Chicken Parmigiana that taste so good. For the price paid for Chicken Parmigiana, you got more then enough, The amount they give you, you could of feed two kids.
The deserts were amazing. I will say though the chesse cake is still not as good as Chesse Cake Factory, but it was some of the best chesse cake ($5.29) I have ever had. The Oreo Mountain ($4.99) was also good. With the icecream, and oreo cookies on it, so good. I have never had bread pudding ($4.99) but it was oddly good.
I looked through the menu when I got to the reasturant. I couldn't find ne dish that was over $20. They are very reasonable on their prices, and give you enough food. I give this reasturant a 3 and a half stars.

In this book there is a lot of irony, but the one that stuck out to me the most was when they where in the helicopter. The helicopter ride was when the were stopped above the river and Lenina, was trying to take advantage of Bernard.
This is an example of situational irony because when we think of people taking advantage of a situation, it is usually the guy.
I think why Huxley used this was to show that, guys aren't the only ones that take advantage of the situation, girls do to.

When we think of scary zombie movies, we don't think Zombieland. Zombieland brought a funny twist to zombie movies as we know it. From the tough guy Tallahassee, to the sweet con woman Wichita. The movie was full of nothing, but laughs and rules to surviving the zombie apocalypse.
When you take a movie that was meant to be a tv series, and turn it into a movie it turns out pretty good. When you take a college boy who wants to go to Ohio to find his parents, and a all out bad guy with two sweet girls, it is funny. The main character Columbus was going to find his parents, when he meets Tallahassee. They are on there way to Ohio, when they meet two girls. The two girls named Wichita and Little Rock con them into beliving that one was bitten by a zombie. They eventually team up and go to California. There they go to Bill Murray's house.
There is when Bill Murray is a zombie under cover, who didn't last long when Columbus was around. When it was all done with the girls went there own way, and the guys went there own way. That was when Columbus decided that he was going to go to Pacific Play Land where the girls were going, and a good thing they did. When they got there the girls, the girls where being attacked by zombies. Of course there is a happy end.
The director of this movie Ruben Fleischer has directed three other movies, produced five other movies, and made one self title. For a guy that hasn't directed much, and two writers not familier with zombie movies, this movie was great. I would give this movie five out of five stars.
