This was not my first time viewing Dial ‘M’ for Murder. This is another Classic film that I viewed in my high school English class and enjoyed it very much. Dial ‘M’ for Murder’s main plot was placed in London, where the wealthy Margot Mary Wendice, played by Grace Kelly, had a brief love affair with the American writer Mark Halliday (Robert Cummings) one year before the present plot while her husband and professional tennis player Tony Wendice (Ray Milland) was traveling in a tennis tournament.
Since its inception, the telephone has become one of the most important inventions of all time. Although some were skeptical about its replacement over telegrams, in the end the advent of this fine communication equipment has won the hearts of many.

Because of its importance, homes and businesses can not live without it. In the U.S. alone, most if not all have
Imagine being caught in a murder investigation when all you wanted to do was write one? The book I read was Dial Em for Murder by Marni Bates. Dial Em for Murder is about a teenage girl who was working on her novel in a coffee shop, when a strange man literally died on top of her, because he was protecting her from a murderer. Emmy is dragged into a murder mystery much more horrifying than she could ever write. Before the man died, he gave her a Slate, which is a very expensive piece of technology

“If you look at me one more time, I’m going to slam your face into this locker.” He menaced. The gangly teenager stood in his plaid jacket with disheveled hair in front of Samuel. Samuel stood in a daze, his mouth was dry; he felt powerless to Rob. Rob was conniving, always knew what to say to get away with whatever he did. While this was going on, a nice dressed administrator walked by. He glanced at Samuel, but he had errands from the principal to meet deadlines; he didn’t stop. Rob continued to
Throughout Hitchcock’s 1954 movie rendition of Frederick Knott’s play, Dial M for Murder, the audience is subjected to a “romping plot...where the action is constricted to one room” (Barnes). Even though everything, including the murder and criminal investigation, happens in the room, Hitchcock employs a variety of techniques such as blocking, camera angles, and prop making in order to add a unique twist to a seemingly straightforward murder. This twisted and almost confusing plot ultimately helps

The baby boom was a big contributor to the new word “Teenager” as in “The 10 years from 1946 to 1956, the population increased by 20 percent, in Canada. Those new

Then just a few hours later, Elisha Gray filed a patent for an instrument very similar to Bell’s telephone, but since Bell filed the patent first he was granted ownership over the telephone

No matter where you are, like the beach, woods or somewhere in the city, the government can track your

Telephones enabled long-distance communication, which allowed families to converse despite their location. Military officials and soldiers were also able to stay in touch through field telephones
