Dear Mr. Lindauer,

From the past years that you have been here, I’m sure you have seen the gym ceiling in better shape. A new gym ceiling would be a great project and it would help benefit the school. The student body would be much happier to announce that there was a new ceiling in our gym. If we got a new gym ceiling, the ventilation would be much better. The air would be much cooler and a lot less people would complain about the heat. We could get new speakers so whenever our athletes are warming up, they have something to listen to. While installing the new ceiling, we could figure out a way to put air conditioners into the ceiling.

The bad problem about having a new gym ceiling is money. The school has been trying to budget our money. But with a bunch of different kinds of fundraisers, we could pull it off maybe after a couple years. Trying to decide when and how long it would take to make a new ceiling wouldn’t be hard. I think summer would be the best time to make it. If we did make it during school or a break, there wouldn’t be enough time to get it finished. Then that would be a problem for our athletes and students who have gym. Thank you for taking your time to read this letter. I hope you will think long and hard about this one.

Sincerely,

J. Fritz

The Birds Movie Review

The Birds

            In this clip The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock has major special effects with the birds. This is a great effect to have in a movie because without them, it would be really boring and nobody would want to watch “The Birds.” Some of the special effects make people believe that the birds can actually attack people. If you’re in for a horror movie, then this is your kind of movie.

  In one part of The Birds, Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) visits Annie Hayworth (Suzanne Pleshette), the school teacher. While they are there, the birds start to land on the play ground. Then the kids start to run and the birds fly into the sky and then swoop down attacking the kids, Melanie, and Annie. These special effects make viewers want to watch more.

The story starts out with Melanie and a guy named Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) meet at a bird store. They talk and tease each other while Melanie becomes attracted to Mitch. After a while, Melanie went to visit Mitch in Bodega Bay where he stays over the weekends with his sister Cathy (Veronica Cartwright) and his mom (Jessica Tandy). When Melanie gets there, she goes to Mitch’s place and secretly leaves lovebirds for Cathy’s birthday. After she leaves in the boat she rented, Mitch drove to the other side of the lake to meet Melanie. While Melanie gets ready to get out of the boat, a bird swoops down and attacks Melanie. Mitch and Melanie start to fall in love while they are together. After more events happen, other attacks start to happen and people become suspicious. Mitch then boards up all the windows and doors to the house. That way if the birds did attack, they would be safe. But that didn’t stop the birds from coming in. Up-stairs in a bedroom, birds broke in through the roof. While everyone is asleep in the house, Melanie wakes up to a noise coming from up-stairs. Melanie heads up the stairs and opens the door. Birds were from wall to wall. Melanie walked in and birds started to attack. Trying to yell for help, Melanie falls to the ground, blocking the door to where no one could get in. Everyone down stairs wakes up to all the birds squawking and Mitch runs to Melanie. With Melanie being in front of the door, it’s harder for Mitch to get in. The end gets worse with a terrible ending but watching the movie is worth it. I encourage you to watch The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock because the graphics and special effects will surprise you.
