https://baileybeck17.wordpress.com/2013/09/06/what-movies-provide
September 6, 2013. We watch movies because we are in search of something; something is missing in our lives. Movies provide for us many things that we may not have otherwise.

https://baileybeck17.wordpress.com/2013/10/04/to-censor-or-not-to-censor-that-is-the-question
To Censor or Not To Censor? That is the question. October 4, 2013. Americans today are inherently against censorship as it violates our right to free speech. But what if censorship did not exist in any form? The Fatal Glass of Beer.
