assignment 26
I’m probably going to have to go with caddy shack as my favorite movie. Caddy Shack was just an all around greatly directed film and the acting in it was precise. I like d this movie also because its an old movie and about golfing which both fascinate me very much. This movie was very funny.
This movie had many interesting and funny parts to it like when the guy kept trying to kill the gofer so it wouldn't ruin the golf course anymore and how that was his main goal the whole movie. The golfing in this movie was also very fun to watch and a lot different than how people golf now a days.
I liked the setting in this movie also in a pretty rich neighborhood at a vey nice country club and the way the people dressed matched the setting just right. This movie was very funny and also got a lot of credit for how good it was directed.
This movie brought many people back to old times and thats why it was a favorite for many older people. I feel like everyone should go out and see this movie because how good the plot and the story line is.
This movie is a 4 star for me and many other people and it is definitely one of my favorite movies ever.

San Francisco is a wonderful place to be and everyone should visi there at least once. Going to an Francisco is very great because you are going to the place that use to be a place where all the hippies would go in the 70s it was called the hippie movement. It is also a very nice place to be because its not to hot their and not too cold during the summer and also the scenery is very nice. The biggest reason skateboarders should go there is because their is so many skate spots. Almost everywhere you look downtown you will see a place to skate and the security there is not too bad so you don't get kicked out of a lot of spots. Once you go to visit San Francisco you will understand why people love it so much.

Assignment 30
GMO are genetically modified organisms plants or animals created through the gene splicing techniques of biotechnology. They do this to make production easier and to make the consumer want because of the better taste. They use DNA from other species to crossbreed. Monsanto is a U.S.-based multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation. Monsanto was also the first to genetically modify a plant cell.
My opinion of GMO’s is that they should not be used because all of the food we eat should be grown naturally and not by crossbreeding other species to do it. The people want their food without having it altered to make it taste better. GMO’s are all around a terrible thing to do and should not be used on the food we pay for.
