Rents are increasing all the time

Josh and Ken,

I just received your e-mail about the <s>price's rent </s>rent price<s> </s>and I've noticed that 25% per month <s>that's</s> is a lot because our profits are increasing only 15% per month. So, we will have some problems in a few months when we see <s>outcome's company.</s> the company's outcome.

In order to solve these problems, I was <s>wondering in </s>considering two possibilities: one of them is talking to the landlord and the <s>another</s> one is searching for another place to rent.

<s>In</s> For the first option, we rented the store ten years ago and our landlord <s>he </s>knows that we are good tenants because we always pay on time and all of our<s>s</s> neighbors like us. Considering this, we <s>so thinking on</s> this <s>way </s>we can talk with him about our economic<s>s</s> situations <s>or whatever we can talk in our favor.</s><s> </s>and about whatever he can do in our favour.

The second option is to search for another place to rent <s>for renting</s>. I think is the<s> most</s> easier option because we will be able to maintain our business in downtown and our current area has very high average rents and our business cannot keep pace <s>high price for rent and cannot grow up anymore</s>. We need to think positive.

I prefer the second option. What do you think?

I'appreciate if someone could correct my text, please

Film Review : Dreyfusgate

This morning, we went and watched J'accuse at the cinema. This French film was directed by Roman Polanski and it is based on the <s>Dreyfus gate</s> Dreyfus Affair that <em>had </em>shaken France at the end of the 19th Century.

Dreyfus was a captain in the army and was accused of high betrayal (treason) because he was suspected<em> have</em> to give<em>n</em> classified information to the Germans. Thus, he was sent to prison and sentenced to exile on an island far away from territorial France. He was sentenced while the government did not have real proof<s>s </s><em>but</em> he was guilty <s>but</s> because he was Jewish. There was antisemitimism at that time in the country. The film describes perfectly how Dreyfus was a scapegoat, how the government manipulated documents while they knew he was innocent, how they refused to acknowledge<em> that</em> they were wrong. The film highlights a colonel who discovers the truth and tries to <s>innocent Dreyfus </s>prove Dreyfus' innocence. Dreyfus had two trials and he was<s> sentenced </s><em>convicted</em> of high treason twice. He lost his honors. Eventually, at the end of the second trial, the government proposed to <s>grace </s><em>pardon (or acquit)</em> him after 10 years of prison. Dreyfus accepted.

In the film, we also see the author Emile Zola defending Dreyfus. In real life, he wrote an article entitled "J'accuse" (I accuse) where he accused and named the members of the government who wanted to condemn Dreyfus without having proof<s>s</s>. Zola was sentenced to one year of prison and some <s>called </s>anti-Dreyfus people burnt his books <s>on</s><em> in</em> the streets.

I really liked the film that lasted more than 2 hours. It was well done, quite closed to the real Dreyfus <em>Affair</em> and the actors are good.

However, this film created a real scandal and was cancelled in some parts of France (even in some cinemas in Paris). Why? Because the director is accused of rapes (he has been accused in the past such as in the US for example). So some people say that if you go and see this film, it means that you support what he does. Other people say that they went and watched the film because they made a distinction between the artist, on the one hand, and<s> its</s> <em>his </em>art on the other <s>hand</s>. Anyway, we watched it with three classes today and from a historic viewpoint, the film is really well done. If you have an opportunity to watch it one day, do it, you won't regret it. The film is <s>having</s> a big success.

Below <s>are </s><em>is</em> the poster of the film, the caption of Zola's newspaper article, an illustration of Dreyfus being rejected by the army, and an illustration of French people fighting because of the<em> scandal.</em>

Thank you for correcting my mistakes.
