Fact: IT 2017, has been directed by Andi Muschietti and has screenplay by Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman.

Opinion: IT is a mix of few scary moments backed up by good situational comedy! Not the most unpredictable guessing game but entertains with the clarity required

IT:Part 2

It seems the critic of https://m.behindwoods.com/english-movies/it/it-review.html, review of the Movie IT:Part 2 didn’t enjoy the movie. I personally have not seen it YET! But I did quite enjoy the first part of the remake more so due to the comedy then the horror. I can’t wait to see the movie because, I know it will never hold up to my standards to be anything close to the original. I have enjoyed horror movies all my life and look forward to new ones that catch my attention. I don’t believe all critics will see eye to eye with the movie but everyone is a critic.

How do you find motivation? Q&A

  • Q 1 – Are you an obliger, questioner, rebel, or upholder?
  • A- After reading the article I feel I fall more in the Rebel group. I tend to hate being told what to do especially after I had already planned to do it. At my job I tent to not like being told how to do my job by the senior workers when I already know what to do.
  • Q 2 – How are you going to thrive in this class (and in school in general)?
  • A – I plan to always go to class even when I don’t want to and make sure I keep up on my work. Make a plan for when to do my work.

  • Alex Reid believes writing a blog helps you develop as a writer. In his article he states, “A blog is an excellent opportunity for exploring and developing intrinsic motivations for writing.” Which seems logical because a blog has no rules and can help someone uncover what really matters to them that they didn’t think or know about.
  • I think having a blog would be a good benefit to help your writing because it is public and you can get feedback on your writing worldwide. With that you can use the feed back to help your writing style and grammar. It can also build your confidence in writing by staying anonymous if you don’t like to share your writing with others directly. There can be a few downsides to keeping a blog as well. With a blog being public not all feedback will be good feedback some comments can be very negative. If your blog becomes popular your audience tends to want constant updates almost daily. If the blog has to be based off topics your teacher chooses and you don’t have a particular interest for it can become boring.
