Examples of ava in a Sentence

1. Alex Garland:

   That is effectively dramatized and represented within the film because Ava’s sentience comes partly out of the inputs that we’ve put into search engines, there was a loose idea, and this probably does n’t stand up to any scrutiny at all, but for what it’s worth, that if you were to look at everybody’s search engine inputs you ’d get a kind of map and the map would not just tell you what they were thinking about but also how they were thinking because of the strange jumps that people make in their input.

2. Madison Young:

   She said, ‘Hi Ava.’ I said, ‘I’m not Ava,’ but then she still proceeded to give me the medicine.

3. Orrin Konheim:

   DuVernay, who is African-American, told Entertainment Weekly. I was interested in … a heroine that looked like the girls I grew up with. DuVernay said she identified with some progressive ideas she found in L'Engle's novel. She's a very radical thinker and she embedded her sense of what society should and could be in this piece, and a lot of it I agree with. But does that mean her adaptation will adopt a political tone ? Experts say we shouldn't jump to any conclusions about whatDuVernay’s final film will look like. Freelance journalist Orrin Konheim, who has written for The American Conservative, noted that many films, including The Manchurian Candidate, have been remade with African-American stars. Ava DuVernay’s casting choice seems like a non-issue.

4. Amandla Stenberg:

   It’s a really, really hard thing to be silenced. And it’s deeply bruising to fight against your identity and to mold yourself into shapes that you just should n’t be in, as someone who identifies as a black, bisexual woman, I’ve been through it, and it’s hurts. It’s awkward and it’s uncomfortable. But then I realized because of Solange [ Knowles ], and Ava DuVerney, and Willow [ Smith ], and all the black girls watching this right now, that there’s absolutely nothing to change.

5. Joe Arpaio:

   After consultation and approval from my wife of 61 years, Ava, I have decided to run to be reelected Sheriff, watch out world ! We are back !
