The Vow is an extremely amazing story based on true life events. When a loving couple experiences a traumatic accident, they are forced to build their love back up from scratch when the his loving wife develops memory loss. She doesn't even remember the man that she once was in love with but his with his love still in his heart, he tries everything in his power to make her realize why they fell in love in the first place. With a lot of drama throughout the movie, they grow apart before they can ever grow back together. They will go through trials and tribulations to an unbelievable extent. The movie creates an explosive reaction from people of all backgrounds and all types. The heart wrenching movie makes you picture life in a special way and cherish the people you love and care about. It makes you picture your life in that position and question what you would do and how you would deal with a life changing event like they are faced with. This movie is a must see and will make your heart melt at the sight of all the love in Channing Tatum's heart. Not only is it a must see for woman of all ages but almost anyone can enjoy a movie of this caliber.

1. It's okay to say things that the instructor might disagree with

I agree with this statement. A good professor will not care that you disagree with their opinions as long as you have factual reasoning backing up why you feel the way you do. Some students believe that if they agree with the professor they will receive a better grade, and in the past with some teachers, I felt the need to do that as well. Unfortunately some teachers have tunnel vision and only want to focus on what they believe in but a good professor will over look the different opinions and concentrate on the story as a whole and whether or not you have factual information along to back up the paper and an argument that states why you believe the way you do.

2. The paper won't be revised substantially

I disagree with this statement because ALL papers should be revised. Without revision it is easy to overlook little details like misspellings, commas, periods. It can also be very easy to overlook bigger issues like sentences that don't fit or contradictions in the paper. Your grade can be improved a whole letter grade just by looking over the paper for mistakes and problems. No papers should be taken from your mind, written down on paper, and turned in for a grade. That is just setting yourself up for a disappointment and a plethora of mistakes. There should be at least two to three revisions of every paper until you are satisfied with the results and ready to turn in the assignment to be graded.
