"Milk"

Last week we saw the movie "Milk" from 2008. This is an biographical film about the life of the politican Harvey Milk.He was the first gay man to be elected to public office in California. The Movie starts on Harvey Milk's 40th birthday. At this time he was living in New York City, and had not yet settled in San Francisco. It is a story about his way into city politics, and all of the battles he experiences in the Castro neighborhood and throughout the city. He leads political campaigns to limit the rights of gay people, and we also get an insight in his romantic and political relationships.

In class, we didn't get the time to see how the movie ends, but the part we did have time to see was very fascinating. It seemed like a good movie, even though I didn't see how it ended.

The movie is available in the library if you want to rent it, I highly recommend that you do! It is a facinating story as you say. Just one comment you write: "He leads political campaigns to limit the rights of gay people", to limit is a transitive verb meaning:
to confine within bounds; set a limit to; restrict; curb

Beauty

The aggrieved and the injured say, "Beauty is kind and gentle.
Like a young mother half-shy of her own glory she walks among us."
And the passionate say, "Nay, beauty is a thing of might and dread.
Like the tempest she shakes the earth beneath us and the sky above us."

The tired and the weary say, "beauty is of soft whisperings. She speaks in our spirit.

Her voice yields to our silences like a faint light that quivers in fear of the shadow."
But the restless say, "We have heard her shouting among the mountains,
And with her cries came the sound of hoofs, and the beating of wings and the roaring of lions.
