Conflict

Conflict

            One conflict in a movie that I have experienced is when Marlin is looking for his son Nemo in Finding Nemo. His son gets kidnapped and he must swim across the worlds oceans to find and bring back Nemo. He has to overcome sharks and jellyfish along the way as well as his companion Dory getting him into trouble. One conflict that I have encountered in real life is when I was struggling in my math class and had a test the next day. I studied for hours on end for the test and ended up getting an A on the test. I was very happy about this. One idea for a conflict in a movie is a man and his daughter surviving in an apocalypse and him slowly dying so he has to train his daughter to survive in this harsh world. It could end with his daughter surviving the apocalypse

Nightmare

My Nightmare

            One time I had the worst nightmare imaginable. It wasn’t even only just a nightmare. I constantly suffer from sleep paralysis. It’s the feeling of being paralyzed when you are technically asleep but your aware of being asleep and feel awake. My dream consisted of being trapped in a small room that constantly decreased in size. I hate being in small places so this was not good. I realized I was awake halfway through this dream and tried to wake up. I couldn’t though and soon realized that I could not move. I was paralyzed. I tried to thrash around but could not and this  caused me to panic. This happens on occasion but this time it was especially bad because I was panicky. I calmed myself down and just decided to try to control my dream. This is called lucid dreaming. I have been able to do this before. I changed my nightmare and I was all better.

Elephant Man Review

Elephant Man Review

I really enjoyed the film The Elephant Man. It had tremendous imagery and makeup design. John Merrick was my favorite character of the film. At the beginning of the film us as the audience are frightened by John Merrick but as the movie goes on we grow more sympathetic towards him and begin to care for him. We learn that he isn’t an animal but a human being that deserves to be treated as one. The whole cast of characters is interesting and the all pull of solid performances. The only minor con about this movie is that in the beginning the pace is very slow however is picks up and gets very interesting. My favorite part of the movie would have to be when John Merrick gets a standing ovation at the theater that he attended. It is very touching that people would do this. The most chilling part of the movie would have to be when John Merrick shouts that he is a “Human Being”

Compassionate Science

Compassionate Science

       If I was a scientist I would create a system that allows for everyone to have access to free water. I personally don’t have interest in being a scientist because it isn’t something I’m interested in. But if I did become one I wouldn’t do everything for free. I would need money to survive and to also to enjoy my adulthood. I believe that scientists deserve compensation for their work and shouldn’t be expected to survive on nothing. Helping people should be given an incentive because then more people will pursue compassionate science. More people would benefit if compassionate scientists got paid more.

Future

The Future

       The future will be a dark desolate place. The world will have gone through a third world war that ended with the nuclear destruction of the entire planet. The world, in 30 years, will be going through a nuclear winter. Small colonies of humans survive in subway metros and underground cities. The surface oxygen is toxic so anyone that goes to the surface must wear gas masks. A new species will have evolved that absorbs radiation to sustain itself. It will be flesh eating and extremely intelligent. Humans that go to the surface face many different species that have mutated from the animals we know now. A safe haven will be searched for by humans throughout the country. It is a city in a dome that has pure clean air and water as well as a lot of food. People in the city will fear the outside and anyone that breaks a law in the city is kicked to the outside where they will die due to the contaminated air.

The Time I Laughed

Laughed Really Hard

          The last day of middle school was really fun. My friends and I went to Disneyland on our last day. We were extremely excited to go on many rides. Many of my friends had never actually been to Disneyland but I had numerous times. We planned to go on as much rides as possible but we wanted to go on Splash Mountain first. Because my friends hadn’t been to Disneyland they didn’t know what to expect but I did. All of us took up 2 whole logs on the ride. We got drenched in the first couple drops and we were having a lot of fun. As we ascended to the final drop on friend in particular was freaking out. The log tipped and we got so drenched, it was unimaginable. We all burst out laughing because we were so wet.

Modern Times

Modern Times Review

          “Modern Times” was a very entertaining and funny. It had great acting by Charlie Chaplin. This silent film dealt with the emotions and situations that came about during the great depression. I enjoyed this movie because it had funny situations that Charlie Chaplin’s character “The Little Tramp” had to deal with such as him having to sing a song without knowing the lyrics in front of an audience. Charlie Chaplin’s girlfriend was a very interesting character as well. The pace of the movie was slow at first but really picked up after he left the factory. The stunts that Charlie Chaplin performed were also very cool. The movie was both gloomy and funny at different moments but neither mood overpowered the other.

Bullying

Bullying

       My thoughts on bullying are that people who are being bullied deserve help to stop the bully. They should get help from a teacher, friend, parent or sibling. Most bullies have dysfunctional families at home so they take it out on other people. If the family gets help and sorts their issues then the bully wouldn't need to take it out on somebody who is innocent.  The victim of the bully shouldn’t get in trouble if they have to fight back. It is self defense and they shouldn’t get in trouble for it. However it is better if the victim tells someone so It does not lead into that scenario. People who bully should get severe consequences so they don’t try to do it to somebody else. Kids should also be taught the severity and consequences of their bullying on their victim. Everybody who sees someone getting bullied should intervene and stop it before it escalates. 

My Favorite Movie

My Favorite Movie

       My favorite movies are Finding Nemo and Toy Story. These are my favorite movies because I grew up while watching them. I have good memories of watching theses movies with my family. I have a lot of childhood memories with these movies and they make me feel nostalgic. I really like when I go back to watch these movies because they are timeless. These movies remain my favorites because all the characters are memorable and funny. They also have great animation and voice acting. The plots of these movies are all very good as well. I also like that these movies can be enjoyed by many different ages. Children and adults can all appreciate these movies.
