A Series of Unfortunate Events
As the title says- unfortunate events never cease. The book (and movie) begins with a chilling yet memorable opening line, cautioning not to expect a happy ending. The audience experiences hopelessness alongside the protagonists as the story hits hardship after hardship.

Eight Suggestions to Improve Vocal
1. Text editing I am not asking for Microsoft Word like text editing capabilities. I understand that part of the appeal of the site is its simplicity. But, could we just add a few more features, at the very least subheadings and the ability to delineate story sections with like three dots or a line or something? Boldface type and italics can only go so far. Long stories especially would benefit from the ability to differentiate between sections but all stories could be improved with these two very tiny upgrades.

Harry Potter and the Annoying Plot Hole
Time turners. It's the centre of the plot of the third book in the eight book series. How is it their existence is only mentioned the once? Why is a thirteen year old girl entrusted to use one for attending more classes? How does nobody notice what is going on?

Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was The Worlds best Hollywood Vixen. She grew up a rough life as a kid, and was well respected in different neighborhoods. She was a beautiful face, model, actress. She is inspiring for the younger generation because of her appeal that attracts me. She will be forever missed.

The Last Waltz
Martin Scorsese and The Band at their absolute finest. This work encapsulates American music with numerous famous guests. This is the best movie concert because of its crafty filming focusing on The Band's emotions while playing, then cutting to off stage interviews.

The Calvin Stickers
Let the grifters grift. It’s their only gift. You work hard on your craft. You spend hours on your craft. Just for someone to drop a link. Or worse, they drop something unrelated. It stinks. Maybe Bill Watterson was right, when he chose to ignore the sticker grifters. We’ll see.

The Constitution by the Founding Fathers
A document used to bring democracy to a young nation without any idea what it was doing. Lost and unsure, we the people allowed ourselves to forget the real meaning of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The living document still has a chance to fix that weak mistake.
