Finding Forrester




Finding Forrester


The name of this movie is “Finding Forrester.” The main characters in the movie are William Forrester played by Sean connery, and Jamal Wallace played by Rob Brown. The director of the film is Gus Van Sant, and the movie was released on December 19th, 2000. The company that the movie was made with was Columbia Pictures. In the movie you watch a unique relationship between William and Jamal develop. Jamal a gifted- scholar athlete who thinks he's meant to play basketball meets the famous writer William Forrester and realizes what he really is meant to do.


In this film 16 year old high school boy Jamal is a very smart writer trying to go to school. He gets an offer to go to a private school but can’t afford to go because his father left him at a young age. He breaks into an old man’s house through a dare and when he breaks in he finds out that the house belongs to the famous author of the book “Forrester”.


Finding Forrester was a very high quality movie. The acting, setting, music and conflicts were all good. I found that all the actors played their characters well and their characters were believable. I thought that the setting matched these characters very well. The soundtrack to this movie was also good and fit in with the movie well.

This film compares to the film “To Kill a Mockingbird”. The relationship between Jamal and William Forrester compares to the relationship between Scout and Boo Radley. Two people come together and create a good relationship. These two movies compare because two very different people change each other. Scout and Boo changed their lives. Mr. Forrester helped Jamal perfect his writing and encouraged him to make something out of his life.

Deadpool


Click here

     The film review that I watched was called " Review: ‘Deadpool,’ a Sardonic Supervillain on a Kill Mission" by Manohla Dargis on February 11, 2016. I like this review because it tells a lot about the movie with ought giving away spoilers.

     The reason I chose this film review is that it has a nice balance talking about the film and its actors. It does not just focus on just the film, it talks about the actors, other films, the creator and more. As well it also talks a lot about the film but does not spoil the film for people who read the review before going to view the movie.

      Overall the review was very nicely done, it did not jump back and forth between topics and was fairly easy to read and as well understand. I really liked how the New York Times did their review and that is why I have chosen it for my assignment.

The Leopard


The Leopard


It was August 27, 2016, when it was the grand opening at the new local zoo in Washington D.C and all the kids were running around having a great time until one leopard snapped ruining the fun for everyone.

All the animals were showing of to the crowd except one leopard who did not like the attention and especially all the little kids poking at him and throwing stuff at him. The leopard, ignoring all the stuff thrown at him, finally fell asleep. Not long after he fell asleep he was woken up by teenagers throwing rocks at him. The leopard taking no hesitation let out the biggest roar ever heard by anyone, it was heard through the whole zoo scaring everyone out of the park.

That wasn't good enough for the leopard tho, the leopard climbed up one of the rocks in his den and taking a huge leap and jumped the fence. The leopard was running all around hunting down those three kids that woke him up by throwing rocks. the leopard saw a group of teenagers running for the parking lot when he spotted the three teenagers.

Running the fastest the leopard ever did in his life, dashed for the teenagers. A couple feet away from the teenagers the leopard was when he made a huge jump for theteenagers taking all of them out with one jump. That didn't stop the kids from running and didn't stop the leopard from chasing them.

Finally after all three teenagers were laying on the ground bleeding and in pain, the leopard walked back to his den like nothing happened. The leopard decided to take a nap after his long day and hours later, he was awaken by a sharp needle being shot into his back making him very sleepy so he went to sleep again but this time, he didn't wake up.

Writing Inventory reflection



Writing Inventory reflection






No I do not write on my spare time. I usually drive my four-wheeler or dirt bike or play Xbox.

I do not have a favorite writer or a favorite kind of writing.

None of these come easy to me but i would rather do an essay because I know how to do them the most.

All of them.

I get my ideas of writing from personal experiences.

I am not currently working on anything.

Usually only one.

Nothing that i think of.

I have a lot of weaknesses as a writer.

I would probably talk about me playing hockey and my second choice would be about my dog Tazz.



To be able to write better than i can now.
