Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The first 15 minutes of the movie was the introduction of the characters and the situation the characters were in. The story is centered on an average, plain-looking and dark-skinned girl named Nam who is secretly in love with an older Grade 10 guy named Shone . Shone, a new student, a rumored troublemaker and a photography enthusiast, easily becomes a popular student in school because of his good looks and soccer-playing skills. The plot was very simple but its simplicity caught my attention. Dark skinned, with glasses and braces = the complete cliché package of an ugly girl falls in love with unbelievably handsome and charming upperclassman. Of course he has to be perfect in every way possible, all sensitive and artistic (but athletic and hot at the same time) while she is the clumsy nerd in the shadows. The movie opens up with Nam's quirky group of friends and a teacher who is too straightforward for her own good. A few juvenile scenes of picking out crushes, passing notes during class and stolen glimpses and suddenly, the story becomes all too familiar. All those enchantment-believing, book-reading and daydreaming moments could might as well be anybody else's story and it was that gravitation to something so recognizable to all, I think, that made this movie so popular and endearing to people who have a heart and once used it for something no matter how one-sided and futile the experience was. But of course the lead character must shed off her veil of ugliness and become this pretty swan in a matter of a few months. Any story set on screen could definitely not end with the Prince Charming falling in love with the still visually despicable commoner! The transformation was so dramatic I had to Google if two different actresses played her part. I found it bothersome how society (apparently even in Thailand) entails that for a character to be noticed and loved, she has to be physically beautiful. Yes it's nice that after a lot of name-callings and schoolyard torture, the caterpillar that we have grown accustomed to has wreathed out of her cocoon and transformed into a beautiful butterfly. But still, wouldn't it be more interesting, and inspiring even, if the Prince Charming and the ordinary girl had their happily ever after without some cliché make-over / metamorphosis in the middle to make everything easier on the eyes? For me, it was a rocky road from the moment Nam became painfully beautiful. She suddenly lost her adorable awkward charm and it was not as interesting seeing her being fawned upon by random schoolmates. Fortunately, the story picked up near the ending with humiliating confessions, predictable heartbreak. I was like, that was it?! The ending was okay but it was very brief. It left too many questions. It’s as if the director and the writer just wanted to end the movie and raise the curtains so they made them meet on a television show. I was happy that they met again and their feelings were finally revealed and in national television

...3. Type/name of the program: How I Met Your Mother, CBS channel 4. Title: How I Met Your Mother, season 2 episode 7 – The Crazy Eyes (Swarley) DESCRIBE THE 20 MINUTE ACTION: Ted, Marshall and Barney are sitting in a coffee shop where they figured out is not as fun as sitting in a bar. While drinking their coffee, Ted notices a heart on Marshall’s cup. He and Barney assume that coffee shop girl has a crush on Marshall. They are encouraging him to invite her on a drink. Marshall brags about how she likes his pumpkin jokes. That in Ted’s opinion can mean only two things – either girl has never heard a joke before, or has a crush on Marshall. Marshall is, however, not convinced. Ted and Barney try to prove him that heart next to his name is meaning something. When doing that, Barney discovers that his name is not written correctly. Instead of Barney is Swarley. He realizes this name will stick to him. Second scene takes place at Robin’s apartment. Robin is girlfriend of Ted. She is on the phone with her mother, but she is willing to talk to Ted even though her mother is still speaking. Ted tells her about Marshall and his date and that he helped him get the girl.

Toddler and Tiaras Critical Analysis

...Chrissi Ridge Comm. 101 Neil Singleton Toddlers and Tiaras The little girls in this television show are given crowns, ribbons, and trophies without any of them actually doing anything to deserve them. It's obvious to an outsider that the pageants are set up as some sort of money making mumbo jumbo by giving every single participant some sort of prize. It's like giving a crack addict a taste, they will keep coming back for more. Don’t get me wrong there are other shows that are a bit crazy too, like Dance Moms for instance. But at least at the end of the day those little girls are amazing dancers. Toddlers and Tiaras represents the false sense of accomplishment that is running rampant in this country. All the moms say they want their daughters to be Miss America, but haven't they noticed that there's a talent portion of the Miss America Pageant? The Toddler and Tiara girls just jump around the stage in crazy costumes with a fake uncomfortable grin across their faces. Anyone could do that. These pageants teach the participants that beauty is the only important thing. The moms love to say that beauty is important in this world and that their daughters will have a better life if they're beautiful. They're right that being beautiful is an asset, but it can only take you so far. If you're a complete brat, like most of the little girls in this show are, no one will care how beautiful you are. A giant wig, spray on tan, fake nails, caked on makeup, and slutty dresses does not make...

Wonder Boys

...After viewing Wonder Boys. At the beginning, the music is a little decadent, so I thought it must be a sad film again, but when I keep watching I found I was totally wrong, it’s a comedy. The surprising thing is I saw the young Spider-man Tobey Maguire and young Iron Man Robert Downey Jr act important character in Wonder Boys. I think every young man like their hero movies and Downey truly has such gift of humor, his character always can make us laugh. I like the scene that he called James “Jimmy,Jimmy,Jimmy” . It’s so cute. The film is very different from the other films I have seen in class. First, this film is totally narrate in chronological order and the characters in this movie are all kind. Second, in Wonder Boys it has voiceover, a narrator Grady himself. Third, it’s a totally comedy, though there is some helpless emotion in the film, we can still find the humor in it. The film is about a professor of English at the university called Grady. Seven years ago his novel made him famous, become the Wonder boy. But seven years later, his writing into a bottleneck, for seven years he haven't finished a novel. His wife left him, and the headmaster his affair told him she was pregnant and the child’s father was Grady.

...your family member is just wrong and you should not do it. So I feel that Henrietta should fall in love with someone who is not related to her. Henrietta had another boy cousin who was crazy. They had called him crazy Joe. He was so crazy about Henrietta, and had fallen in love with her. Every time they would all go play together, he would try so hard to impress Henrietta. But Crazy Joe was so mad about Henrietta marrying their cousin that he had attempted to kill himself. His uncle had found him, took him to the hospital and was able to save his life. I feel that crazy Joe needs to get over his self. Joe is insane for trying to kill himself for a girl and a girl who is his cousin. Right before Henrietta found out she had cancer, she felt that something was not right. She had told her cousins and they felt it in her stomach. They told her she needed to go to the doctor because something like that was not normal. She decided not to tell her husband or anyone else because she didn’t want them to worry and she had not gone to the doctor because it was not hurting her. Henrietta should have gone to the doctor the moment she felt the ball in her stomach. That needed to be checked out a lot quicker because it may have been able to save her life or at least given her a little more time to be with her family and let them know every day that she loves them so that will be the last thing that she tells them. Henrietta did deserve some kind of fame. I do feel that people should know...

Comparing The Yellow Wallpaper And The Birthmark

...In The Yellow Wallpaper, John believes that the narrator is crazy, but she believes that the only thing that could make her happy is something different and exciting. “It is the strangest yellow, that Wallpaper! It makes me think of all the yellow things I ever saw- not beautiful ones like buttercups, but old foul, bad yellow things.” (Mays The Yellow Wallpaper) The narrator is so obsessed with the wallpaper that it is driving her crazy. “[John] does not wish to cater to her growing obsession with the yellow wallpaper.” (The Yellow Wallpaper) She has asked John if they could leave many times, but he will not let her. John believes it is best if she stay at this house and inside where she can eat and get her rest. He believes that the writing was also affecting her, but it was making it easier for her to cope. John kept her in that house and in that room so long that she became crazy. His controlling manner of everything she did drove her insane, not the depression, but, “being confined to her room,” this causes her to obsess over the wallpaper. (The Yellow Wallpaper) The narrator never obtains an identity from anyone especially her husband he calls her by the names, “darling” and “little girl”. (Mays The Yellow Wallpaper) John never gives her name, which makes her feel as if she is locked up and losing herself. In The Birth-Mark Georgiana’s controlling...

Blessing

...of appreciation for everyone who has ever come into my life. From the little child I see passing on the street babbling adorable baby talk that makes me smile, to the feeble but amazingly kind and warm old woman that takes time to say ‘hello, darling, you alright?’ when she runs into you even though she’s a stranger. Everyday a complete stranger smiles at you, not because they get anything out of it, but because your face ticked something inside them that made them want to make you smile. Isn’t that great?   Those silly yet wonderful people called friends that we have around us and in our hearts, how can we not be grateful for them? What would we do without those who would be ready to make you a cuppa hot chocolate in the middle of the night when you’re having an emotional breakdown, or when dance with you on ridiculous music so loud that all you hear and feel is exhilaration and absolute joy?   That best friend we know we all call a ‘sibling’, the annoying devil we all love to hate when they  don’t get along with us, but run to when nothing else in the world makes sense. I, for one, can say I’m blessed to have the best sister in the world. A true friend, always there to tell you what no one might say , always looking out for you, regardless of their age, always protective and proud of you and so excited to be a part of every joy you share. I can’t think of siblings as anything less than the sweet little angel god sends as a huggable teddybear. Why not give our siblings a hug...

The Monkey Who Loved Chocolate

...No, not at all. Not even one little bit. And I must say, I’ve never met a boy like that. Not in my entire life. And the monkey was unusual because he absolutely adored chocolate – this particular monkey went absolutely bananas for it – and as you may guess – very few monkeys are mad about chocolate, if only because, they’ve never even tasted it. The boy was called Jim. And the monkey was called Theodore, or Theo for short. One day, Jim’s Aunty Judith took him to the zoo. Jim’s mother had told her that Jim didn’t like chocolate, but she didn’t believe that. “Poor little thing,” she said to herself. “His mum won’t buy him chocolate because she’s too mean. But I’ll buy him a nice lovely bar and give it to him while we are out.” And that’s what she did. Only it was true. Jim really didn’t like chocolate. “Oh thanks Aunty Judith,” he said when she gave it to him. “That’s really kind of you. I’ll just save it for later, if you don’t mind.” But he did like seeing all the animals in the zoo. The prowling bears weren’t at all cuddly – but they were super cool all the same. The giraffes had lovely soft noses. The snakes in the snake house made Jim’s blood run cold – but he liked being scared really – just a bit. And the monkeys – well everyone loves monkeys. They looked silly but intelligent all at the same time. And in particular, one was nicer than all the others. He came up to the bars of the cage and pressed his face through them. That little monkey was Theo. Jim thought he...

The King

...I was riding in the backseat of my parents' red Cutlass on a warm fall day in 1984. My only entertainment was listening to the sucking sound the back of my thigh made when I lifted it off the sticky vinyl seat. I remember seeing patchwork fields of rainbow-colored leaves resting on the yellow grass, wishing that I could rake them into big piles, so I could run through them, scattering them across the field again. I rolled the dusty window down to get a better look at the pastures as the hard wind rushed in over my face and through my hair. I stuck my head through the window and opened my mouth, so my cheeks would puff out like Dizzy Gillespie's when he played his trumpet. Slowly, my cheeks began to deflate, and the wind softened as my dad braked the car to turn into the driveway of my grandparents' home, the location of our annual May family picnic. My whole family had already arrived when we showed up. All my uncles immediately bombarded the car, playfully snickering with my dad about always being late so he would not have to help them cook. My Papa Joe, with his Afro of white hair, and my Grandma Lee Lee, who limped like a peg-legged pirate because one leg was shorter than the other, were sitting in lounge chairs talking about how much I had grown. My Uncle Kelly, whose left arm was shot off by his ex-wife during an argument, was walking around, complaining about how he was going to starve if he didn't eat soon. My Aunt Rosie, who always wore a tiny pair of rose earrings...

My Virtual Child

...physical, cognitive, personality and social. Physical development is the growth of my body and brain, sensory capacities, motor skills, and health. Cognitive development is Learning, attention, memory, language, thinking, reasoning, and creativity. Psychosocial Development is my emotions, personality, and social relationship’s. That’s exactly what I am going to be talking about. As an infant to the age I am right now I have had my ups and downs, my bad moments etc. Child development takes over everything we do in life. “It focuses on the scientific study of systematic processes of change and stability in human child.” (Martorell 2013 pg4) When my mom was pregnant her prenatal stage was great for her. She did not have any difficult things happen to her. She had a pretty easy pregnancy and didn’t have trouble with anything. The OBGYN told my parents everything was perfect with her and I and it was true As I was born my parents got scared because I wasn’t breathing for a few seconds and then they heard my cry and they got relived and felt better to know I was okay. I weighed about the size of a regular size baby which was seven pounds and thirteen ounces. One day as I turned 6 months I couldn’t breath and was very hard for me to breath, so the doctors ended up telling my parents I had asthma and I was in the hospital for about a day and had the asthma mask on me My physical growth and development of motor skills where very rapid.

Friendship

...just hate it that today is one of those days when I don’t have nothing to do, so the only thing left in the table is read, and since I can’t do that the other only thing I can do is write. Today I felt like writing about friendship, the real friendship, so here goes nothing: I never ever got the true meaning of friendship, until I started losing it in some way. It isn’t that I lost it completely; it’s just that my friends and I have grown apart and that kind of sucks. But before that I always wondered what friendship really is and what it really means. And now being in a different school and not with the same friends and growing apart with my friends, I asked myself that question again and I think that maybe I have found the real answer. Being in a new place with new people, new faces it is hard to fit in. And this especially when the others know each other already. So you have to start everything from the beginning , you start to tell everyone your story, your favorite things and the reasons why you like them, but they still don’t get it, they still don’t get the reason why you are who you are, and they want to change you. And then is when you start to change, because you think you aren’t good enough and that maybe that is the reason why you don’t fit in. And you change everything from yourself, and by doing this changes you start to lose your real friends, you start to lose a little bit of yourself every day, you are not the same old you, the one with big strange dreams...

The Burdens In Tim O Brien's The Things They Carried
