Q1: It can be difficult to write sometimes, especially if you are creating something brand new. It is even harder when you must write while following certain rules. Some writers thrive when there are limits, like poets. Many poetry forms follow very specific rules, like sonnets or elegies; you can't just throw some words on a page and call it a haiku. On the other hand, some successful poets really enjoy breaking the rules. They will refuse to use proper punctuation or follow any sort of structure. So then what good are the rules, if you can just break them and still succeed? That doesn't make any sense. I guess that is why I am not a poet.Stimulus: 1 of 2Which of the following is the most likely source for most of the author's statements in the passage?

Q3: Don't Look Back Now is the story of Keisha (Joy Taylor), a woman who has moved across country to escape her creepy ex-boyfriend stalker, Tom (Kevin Highsmith).

But there's one thing nobody knows-she's got a secret that will make anyone coming to harm her regret it-especially Tom. This thriller is an exciting roller coaster ride that constantly keeps the audience guessing.

You can see the toll this stalking experience has had on her in every twitch of her eye and clench of her jaw. The strength she displays once the film shifts into the darker, triumphant second act is a wonder to behold. Kevin Highsmith gives off just the right vibe of charming and sinister as Tom, effortlessly shifting his entire performance between sweet and suddenly dangerous. This is a tense thrill ride that will not disappoint fans of Joy Taylor or this genre in general.
