This scene is significant because it is when Derek sees how Danny feels about what he has just done and is the start of change
was a high speed chase that had been going on for about an hour. Where did it end up? Right on the section of street that holds a special place in my heart. I rode my first bike on this street. I also crashed many times on the dirty asphalt. The curb of the sidewalk in front of my house is where I would jump my bike. This simple thing never seemed to get old. All over the street, I would jump and ride my bike. Many a time I would come into the house with the water works turned on full blast to
I went to see a solo musician by the name of Jay Bowcott, a Calgarian who relocated to Medicine Hat about ten years ago with his family. The show was at Mikey’s Juke Joint here in the Beltline in Calgary. Mikey’s is a small place that is modeled after a 1930s era barrelhouse complete with rough wood floors, distressed copper tabletops and a matching copper bar.

The clever use of cinematography throughout these scenes exemplifies that
confronted by his old brothers from the gang, they state the rule to him and he knows what about to happen. Mike gets kicked, punched, and tackled by the members of the gang, but he also puts up a very good fight knocking two of them out. As Mike goes to curb stomp Ronnie’s teeth out, he sees stares at his only friend that didn’t
that Derek is a supporter of a neo-nazi cult, due to his physical appearance. In addition to this, the scene plays further significance as viewers are able to witness the dark and gruesome acts of violence commited by Derek, as he intentionally curb stomps one of the robbers after they were subdued, helps to establish the tone of the film. The film soon reverts back to the films current narrative/equillibrium and is focused on Danny, who is now following the same path as his brother, after he submits

The car then bounced over the curb then smashing us down making me noxious. finally, “splat.” The squirrels guts splattered everywhere leaving its cute innocent body laying their drowning in his own blood. “Grandpa stop” he slammed on the brakes, and I never got in the car with him again. Within 3 minutes, my grandpa served up a curb and hit a squirrel, and the worst part is he did not realize that he hit the squirrel. Senior citizens

He then grabs the other male, drags him to the side of the road, and curb stomps to death. Derek is arrested, and sentenced to three years in prison for voluntary manslaughter.

Nothing. Nothing is there. I blink in incredulity as a half-devoured cookie drops from my mouth- wide open in shock- to my dilapidated sneakers, laden in dirt. Perfect, can’t eat that now. Agh. I plop down onto the street curb in frustration. My eyes moisten and my stomach turns. I’m about to cry. Over a cookie. My poor, half-devoured cookie.
