Coraline

You know in a movie where one of the main characters is named Wybie as in ‘Why were you born?’ this movie is going to be a little bit different and different it was two. This 96 minute animated adventure is not one I suggest for the kids. It is dark, morbid and wonderfully creative. The film goes from dark to light and back again in the blink of a button eye. (If button eyes can blink that it.) This fantasy film was creative and adventurous it delved deep into the dark side of it’s creator/writer and came out on top in my humble opinion. This is a picture you will not soon forget. You’ll tell your co-workers about it at the water cooler and finally have something to call Mom about. You will enjoy this film if nothing more than to be visually stimulated. Grade A

A note from an editor!

Hi Matthew,


Thank you for the time and effort you put into this piece, especially on a Saturday morning. I can tell you definitely took good notes of everything that was going on during the event!


We still have some work to do before this piece is ready to print. Your piece has a lot of information, but it doesn’t sound like a news article. What was the point of his speech/presentation? Why was he addressing this audience? What is Vanguard? What does the company do – who does it serve? You spend a lot of time narrating (for example, how he was injured), but did not report on the purpose of the event. You can maybe mention his appearance/joking about it in a sentence or two, but do not take several paragraphs to do so. Also, I like how you mentioned where the name “Vanguard” comes from.


There are a lot of spelling errors in this piece – make sure you proof read each sentence carefully.


I know I am getting back to you a little later I hoped, and I’m sorry about that! But if you have time tonight, please go through my suggestions and try to rework your piece. You can send me what you have tonight/tomorrow morning. Please bring a copy of it to the meeting tomorrow and we will discuss it further from there.


Once again, thanks for your hard work and promptness! Remember this is a learning process, and we are all part of the Waltonian team!


Talk to you soon!
