Dependency status on the FAFSA is different than dependency status on federal income tax returns. It doesnât matter whether or not your parents claim you as a dependent (exemption) on their federal income tax return. Being a dependent on a tax return doesnât affect your dependency status on the FAFSA.
The Wind Rises (showing this week on Film Four) is the final film by Hayao Miyazaki (unless he changes his mind). Itâs also his most unusual, judged against the other ten anime features heâs directed, from Castle of Cagliostro in 1979 to Ponyo in 2008.
The book was inspired by some actual events, the results of my research, and my own imagination. (It will be helpful for the reader to read the authorâs note in the back of the book.) Although the book is based loosely on my grandmotherâs immigration and parallels her story, Esperanza Rising is a work of fiction.
