Film Review-Innocent Voices
Innocence of Love
Innocent Voices the story of struggle, love, and survival. Innocent Voices shed a humanistic light of resistance, defiance over a military state. The story of Chava, an El Salvador a young boy who wants to live a normal childhood, soon learns growing up in a civil war is anything but normal. Chava’s family is in constant danger as the war rages closer and closer to home. In addition Chava the “man of the house” is constantly in danger of become causality due to the recruiting methods of the El Salvadorian Army. Chava has initiative and determination, in addition to an extensive imagination. These characteristics help give Chava a advantage on daily life in El Salvador and a memory in our hearts.

when the fads and rituals serve no purpose and became toxic than citizens are morally obligated to voice opposition. One citizen can not cause a wave of change; a collection of voices can, as Margaret Mead elegantly states “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” The villages are morally obligated to speak up against sacrificing of an innocent life and the lack action places the villagers at fault. All societies have rituals and ceremonies…
passive voice not active when it should be written in active voice. The example does not give a lot of description or detail. The part I found vague is how it did not state how the person thrown from the truck. Were they ejected as a result of an accident? Were they thrown from the truck by another person? The part I found ambiguous is was the person found outside of the truck in the ditch or inside of the truck in the ditch? Example seven says “It is unfortunate to be convicted when innocent at least…

Today, we have the right to decide which church and religion we want to be affiliated with. It also emphasizes the concept of “all men and women are created equal.” We still have the right to voice our opinions,…
