IMDB rating: 8.10 Plot: New York cop John McClane, who has been a cop for 11 years, has just arrived in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve. For the past six months, John’s wife Holly and their two kids Lucy McClane and John McClane Jr have been living in Los Angeles without John. In New York, Holly had a good job that turned into a career, and Holly was promoted to a powerful position in the Nakatomi Corporation. The promotion called for Holly to move to Los Angeles to work in the Nakatomi Plaza, a 40 story building. John stayed in New York because he didn’t think Holly would make it out in Los Angeles, and that she would come crawling back to him in New York, so John figured that there was no reason to pack his things for the move to Los Angeles. A limo driver named Argyle drives John to the Nakatomi Plaza, and John heads to the 30th floor, where a Christmas party is going on. John gets into an argument with Holly in the office of her drug-snorting co-worker Harry Ellis because Holly uses her maiden name Gennero instead of the name McClane on her nameplate in her office. Holly leaves the room to give a speech. While John is by himself in the office, John is wishing that the argument hadn’t happened. A few minutes later, a group of German terrorists led by Hans Gruber and his right hand man Karl enter the building and take everyone hostage on the 30th floor. John is able to avoid being taken hostage because Hans and his men don’t even know that John is in the building. John heads to the upper floors, which are still under construction. Hans takes Holly’s boss Joseph Yashinobo Takagi to an office, where Hans demands that Takagi give him the computer code key that will allow Hans and his men to start opening the building’s safe so they can steal the $640,000,000 in negotiable bearer bonds that are in the safe. Takagi refuses to cooperate with Hans, so Hans kills Takagi, and John witnesses it. Hans tells his technology expert Theo to start working on getting the safe opened, and Theo thinks it’ll take a couple of hours to do it. John frantically tries to find a way to alert the LAPD, realizing that the main phone lines in the building have been cut. Once the police do arrive, they prove to be incompetent under the command of arrogant deputy chief Dwayne T. Robinson, so it’s up to John to rescue the hostages. |

What would you do if you were me??–stressed out–?
for english and history (my teachers are like paired up for this project thing..) we have 2 write a 50 line poem about a little story our teacher assigned us (they are all different) in groups of four that our teacher grouped us with. i have a terrible group that won’t contribute and i’m basically trying my best for a one-man job. after we write the poem we are supposed to perform it on stage. the poem must have:
-one hyberbole
-one metaphor
-one simile
-one onomatopoetic thing
-two examples of dialogue
we have only gotten to line 20, while most groups are done or very close to finishing. it is very stressful because i am an A student and this project is worth 6 grades..3 for history and 3 for english. our "story" is only like a little page long and gives barely any details so it is very hard to write. it is about the deserters of the lewis and clark expedition (moses reed and a frenchman) and how they got brought reed back and punished him. also about the missouri, oto, and omaha indians and how lewis and clark were supposed to help make peace?? idkk. and the completed, typed poem is due wednesday, while we are performing thursday. i have a very good feeling we wont even finish writing the poem and look like retards on stage having no idea what to do. i am very stressed out about this and am unsure what to do. i just want to enjoy my weekend but cant get this sh** of my mind. i hate my two teachers because of the group they decided to stick me in. ughhh i wish they wud die. D:<
I don’t know. I’m goin on 30 and had to move back with my f*ckin ma. Spent my 21st birthday diggin ditches in prison. Wow, ain’t life just one big twisted parade. We all shove are heads up are a**es and slide this pointless slide known as life. WWEEEEEEEE. Have a nice day.

why don’t you quit wishing the teachers dead and just TELL them your group sux and that they’re not helping? It’s not the teachers’ fault your group bites — and how the hell would your teacher know you’re having problems if you don’t tell him/her?
You’re not very smart for being a "A" student, are you?

Go to your teach and acknowledge that your group isn’t participating and that you are the only person doing work. I’m pretty sure they will resolve the problem if not then the best thing i can tell you is to suck it up grow a backbone and tell them off saying how you aren’t playing games anymore and that you need this grade because they don’t want to participate and do anything with their life.

First don’t hate your teachers. The reason behind group work like this is to help you deal with situations in real world work environments. You will have to work with people who are lazy and don’t do required work. The problem in real life is bosses do not care about how work gets done only that it gets done.
I would recommend talking to everyone in your group and let them know that you do not appreciate there lack of effort and are hoping to get a good grade.
If that does not work I would recommend talking to you teachers. Just approach them and explain that you have some concerns regarding completing the project by your self and why you have these concerns. If the students are that bad the teachers would already have an idea they are lazy students.
The key to dealing with these types of situations in life is "communication." It is essential deal with these situations quickly and communicate you concerns to all parties involved. That is one of the lessons you are expected to learn in these group exercises.
Good luck with your projects.
