Essay Writing

My essay writing skills are non-existent.
I can debate and write speeches and Im good at anything verbal, but I cant write an essay to save my life.
I dont understant pharagraphing or structure and I cant write anything without sounding "chatty".

Run Lola Run - Ideas in Sequences

In the sequence 'Who Can Help?', the scene relates to a lot of main ideas of the film; such as the race against time (shown by the, clock, quick cuts and the quickness of Lola's thinking dialogue), money (shown by the casino man) and that everything is linked (shown by the dominoes - the dominoe effect).

The Five People You Meet In Heaven - Ch1

What are my thoughts on these phrases?

*1* "All endings are also beginings"
I agree with this one as the ending of one thing is also the begining of another, eg: end of school is the start of an independent life or even something silly like the end of the night is the start of a new morning. I like this saying.

*2* "No story sits by itself"
Im not totaly sure what is meant by this. I think it means that your life is always intertwined with someone else, like maybe a 'chapter' of your life or an event might have been shared with someone else so it would be a 'chapter' in theres too. If that is what it is, then I agree.

What do I think about the idea of 'controlling' or 'manipulating' time?

I dont believe in it. I dont think it would be a very good idea as you could very easily wreck your life or just as easily, someone elses.
I wouldent want to change anything as I feel that the worst times of my life and all the mistakes or bad choices I have made have taught me a valuable life lesson and those lessons are neccessary to be me.
