Francois And The Ship Of Dreams.
Hello, my name is Francois DuPont. I am a 10 year old French boy from Bordeaux, France. My mother’s name is Marseille and my father’s name is Jacques. For the past three years my family has been living in Southampton, England where my mother works as a maid and my father has found work as a painter. Because my dad is such a good painter, he has been hired by a family called the Astors to come to the city of New York in America and paint nice pictures for a lot of money. He’s been in New York now for a month and has now been hired for a permanent job there. Now that my daddy has made a lot of money, he has bought boat tickets for me and my mom to come stay with him in America for good. He got us tickets to ride on a big nice boat called the Titanic. My mommy said I would love the Titanic because everyone says it is the ship of dreams and it is the biggest boat in the world.

People Who Inspired Me To Be A Writer: John Singleton (filmmaker)
From the moment I was born, one of the most popular films that we frequently watched in my family household was Boyz N The Hood (1991). As a young Black male living in the ghetto at the time, Boyz N The Hood just naturally rubbed me as the everyday environment of my actual community displayed on screen. As I got older I realized that this creative on screen display of a reality that I actually knew is what made this movie such a great film. This realistic and in depth display of storytelling was the standardized gift of one of my all time favorite storytellers, John Singleton.

On a hot Thursday afternoon, Chris Macon is just getting off work from BBQ Johnny's after 7 hours of working the front register. "Dude, I am so ready to get home and relax", he thought to himself while taking off his work hat and making his way out of the restaurant's front entrance to go to his truck. As Chris gets in his truck to pull off and leave he makes note of the traffic on his way home. "Seriously, it's a Thursday afternoon, why are people piling the road like it's Friday? They're making my life extremely hard right now, work does that enough so I could really use a--."

Empathy for the Excess
When it comes to substance abuse most of us are quick to be judgmental. Many of us self proclaimed judges have probably never dealt with addiction to drinking or drugs, but when it comes to the ones who have, we are quick to condemn. I think it is important to remember that simply condemning a person who is an addict doesn't help them come to terms with the wrong in their addiction and how it is hurtful to the people around them, instead we need to acknowledge the circumstances that have pushed them to this limit and try to appeal to their humanity.

In the 14 years since it was first conceived, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken over the world of film. For many who may not be fans or big followers of the MCU the biggest question is why. To understand why the MCU has become a world wide phenomenon it is important to look at the story, characters, style and relatability that has shaped this groundbreaking franchise.

People Who Inspired Me To Be A Writer: Tara Pigeon
When I started my junior year of high school in the fall of 2009, my 4th block 11th grade English teacher ended up being a New York native with a feisty attitude named Tara Pidgeon. Upon first meeting her, most of us students were very drawn to her in a way that we were not drawn to most teachers. Being that she was younger than most other English teachers we found her very relatable, yet she had a firm hand of discipline in regards to keeping us in line.
