Nobody wants to be a puppet, dangling from the strings as somebody else directs your every movement. Humans want control of their own lives, and if given an “ugly” destiny, they will make every attempt to destroy that fate and create their own. Both Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg, and Oedipus the King, written by Sophocles, demonstrate human determination to create their own path. Humans crave the opportunity to shape their own destiny. When given a frightful or potentially life-altering

putting a nail in a stranger’s coffin. They shouldn’t have the power to do this. Naturally, nobody is in the right frame of mind to make such a huge decision after bereavement. With an Opt-out system families wouldn’t be forced to make a decision giving them the time and space they need to grieve.

Courts, school zones, and federal buildings alike have much more rigorous restrictions regarding gun control. How are students expected to feel safe in the school environment when a deranged and armed criminal could come bursting in at any moment, and nobody has any viable methods of self defense? Moreover, if gun-free restrictions on schools are lifted, we must also lift similar restrictions on federal buildings such as courts and government offices. Only then will we truly bask in the glorious freedom

turned into an motion picture film with my rewrite because it has good suspense and shows a lot of action that I know the audience would love to see in an movie.
