12 Years a Slave Review
In the New York Time's review of 12 Years a Slave the critic acknowledges the intense emotions that the movie stirs up within viewers. However, they also acknowledge the director's ability to cause these emotions without causing viewers to want to turn the movie off. The critic states that: "McQueen keeps everything moving so fluidly and efficiently that you're too busy worrying about Solomon. following him as he travels from auction house to plantation, to linger long in the emotions and ideas that the movie churns up." The critic states that the movie really helps to paint a picture of what slavery and segregation was truly like for the masses, despite the fact that the movie focuses primarily on just Solomon.
Very nice, Lily! Being the hypocrite that I am, I do have to say that I believe this might be too short for a paraphrase, but it still addresses vital points. Just a little more tweaking and you’re golden!

DeleteI think you did a great job paraphrasing and I liked your use of a lengthier quote because I found it essential and easy to understand. My only idea of anything to possible revise is the length because I believe it was a little short. Besides this, it was great:)
