It's English homework (but sort of just for fun). These are the ones I still need. My English teacher wrote them kind of in a weird way. Like The Scarlett Letter is "Frustrated housewife has affair with town priest. Starts clothing trend."

1. Guy closes merger with the devil. Seems to be surviving at the top. Runs into trouble.

2. Hippie dropout goes back to nature, and 140 years later, Morton Zuckerman tries to turn property into condos but is thwarted by Meryl Streep.

3.Disturbed teenager starts anti-graffiti campaign.

4. h**l-raiser rebels against Big Guy. As a result, couple gets evicted from property.

5. Guy over-invests in real estate to impress Jodie Foster look-alike.

6. Dad asks if kids love him. Gets seriously disappointed.

7. Guy takes wrong turn on hot date. Loses penthouse. Helps career of Al Sharpton.
