Great introduction to marvel
Captain America is such a great character. He cares about other people and always does the right thing.
This movie introduces us to characters we get to know very well in the marvel movies, such as Howard Stark, Bucky, Peggy and Nick Fury.
It's a movie you can watch over and over and still enjoy.

I don't overly enjoy poetry for the most part, but I have to say, I really enjoy Allen Ginsberg's writing.
I had previously read "Howl" and "A Supermarket in California" which I very much enjoyed. The other poems, being new to me, I thoroughly enjoyed.
Ginsberg has a very interesting writing style that is very vivid. I love how he speaks directly to his fellow poets in some of his poems. In writing them in, he is giving them an even greater form of immortality.
I enjoyed the poem "America." It's asking the citizens of America what the war is worth, but America is also asking things of him that he wouldn't be able to live up to. He questions his own writing in this as well.
Ginsberg has a very musical beat to his poems that makes you have to keep reading. It pulls you along, especially when you read it out loud.
Overall, I very much enjoyed this little book of poems.

Love this introduction of Captain America, feel it really highlights the characters main attributes which provides the grounding for future films. Bucky and Peggy's characters are great.
I like the bad guy and find he is a worthy adversary.

Franzen has a good deal of talent in how he develops his characters, but I'm not sure if this book lived up to all the hype. You can read my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/08/30/what-is-a-portrait-of-america/

Flagg's latest novel is a portrait of rural America written with charm and wit (as usual), that's both poignant and uplifting. Find out why I'm giving it five stars in my review here. <br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/11/09/an-elmwood-springs-retrospective/
