We're All Stories In The End

He seems to be sleeping peacefully, but he is not asleep. Rose can only stare at his still face as the thunderbolt of realization goes through her. All hope, will and spirit leave her. Rose closes her eyes. She is so weak, and there just seems to be no reason to even try. And then.. her eyes snap open.                           — excerpt from the original Titanic scriptment

Anna Karina in Vivre sa vie (1962), directed by Jean-Luc Godard

"This character for me was the sort of open-hearted, free-spirited bohemian type and it was a lot more difficult than I ever thought it would be to play someone who didn’t have many internal demons or personal angst to fall back on. I almost had to be like an open book which was really hard." — Leonardo DiCaprio, on playing Jack Dawson

Are fucking kidding me? I have been sitting at home and constantly watching the news after the events of yesterday. For those of you who are wondering, I am a junior at REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL! I was there when the shooter kept running in the halls trying to open the doors and get in. I was there in the dark praying and crying while my librarian kept saying ” they’ll have to kill me before they touch my kids” I have known her for three years, her determination to keep us safe broke her heart. Seeing this, that little children need protection in school. Are we sending kids to a battlefield? I have three little brothers ranging from 5-10, and still people have the nerve to speak about the second amendment? Really? I can’t even type anymore. I’m so disgusted and frustrated. When will you realize that it’s important to have gun control? When a shooter is pointing a gun at your child? Is that when you’ll realize that guns aren’t something to be kept around. People say it’s a free country but honesty, this country is more oppressed and diseased than any other country.

Show me ONE instance where gun control and gun free zones prevented school shootings.
