The Habit (2006) Review Htet Aung Naing When creating fiction, a realistic setting does not guarantee a realistic story. Stories set in a world parallel to our own have to obey the same laws that people obey in real life, as such the conventions of how a particular character would react to a situation would be limited to how a reader would expect a real person to. These conventions, customs and laws are out of the author’s control, so they must write their story around these rules. Whereas in a

Since the moment you had your first play date every single boy that has ever been born has always wanted to win or be the best out of what you are doing. This is the competitive instinct that is within everybody but especially in boys and men.

As we get older into our teens our competitive instinct blossoms more than any other emotion we have

other day, a fresh breeze with The sun tucked behind the clouds. But after my longest minute, i concluded that Time doesn’t wait for anyone but, he was generous this day.

So my grandmother ran out to the store to get some snacks. To kill time, we thought it would be a brilliant idea to play like we were in this big parade. The only people at home were
Last Airbender, and I knew immediately that it would be a film I’d remember months later - just not for the right reasons. M. Night Shyamalan has brought yet another failure to the big screen reminiscent of his last two movies Lady in the Winter (2006) and The Happening (2008). Only this time, it’s much worse.
