Favorite Movie

Gun shots everywhere. People rushing by in different directions. Trying to find a way out of the fight but cannot. My mama told me to close my eyes, so I don't see the bad things. I did. This scene in the movie the Blind Side is really what the movie is all about. A little boy grew up in fights and people taking away his home. His mom had too many kids. So she gave him away. When he got older, he wanted to find his mama. He didn't have a home or even any place warm. He would go to the gym or even to the laundry mat to wash his one other pair of clothes in his bag. That's all he had. But one day he was at school and he met a little boy. They were friends. Another day the little boy's mom found the older boy on the street walking. He was going to go find somewhere warm. From that day, the little boy's mom adopted the older boy so he could have a home and finally a family to take care of him. Little conflicts happen but he knows that everything will be ok because he finally had someone who loved him.

I really liked this movie. It  was really touching and to see what some people go through, it was horrible. But the movie was amazing. Maybe I'll help out a child in need someday too.

Spngebob

Spongebob is very fun
So fun that I will never be done
His buck teeth are the best
There as big as a desk!

His snail is named Gary
Just like Perry
Who is Fineas and Ferb's pet
Who always gets caught in a net

But even though perry is cute
Spngebob is always the foot to my boot
I love him so very much
But I've always wondered if he's Dutch......

Literary Analysis Of Mary Poppins

Think about if you had a magical nanny and all the extraordinary things you would do with her. What would you do? This is exactly what happened in “Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers”. Everything is happy and joyful, all throughout the movie. It clearly shows that this movie is a romance by the symbolism, plot line and characteristics.

Symbolism in this movie is just right for the romantic literature. The time of day was shown many times throughout the movie. It was either morning or day time throughout the movie. Because of the Blossom trees or the birds chirping throughout the movie, it showed that there was tons of joy and laughter throughout the movie. You would always know that everyone is upbeat by all the singing and dancing. One of my favorite parts was when the penguins were dancing with Mary Poppins and Bert. That really showed that nature and animals were a big part of the movie.

While symbolism really showed why the movie was a romance, the plot line of the movie fit exactly to the romance plot line. In the beginning of the movie a nanny quits because she couldn’t handle the little kids anymore. So the family tries to find a new nanny. This really reminds me of a T.V. show I watched that the same thing happened to that family. I could feel their pain and worry that they weren’t going to find another nanny. All of a sudden Mary Poppins comes in and takes the job! Mary Poppins changes everyone into very pleasant people than they were. Mr. Banks especially got to be a completely different person.

Although the plot line fit perfectly into the romantic mode of literature, the characteristics were absolutely matching the same characteristics as a romance. “Mary Poppins” was defiantly not realistic. The flying, magic and basically doing anything is usually not what happens in real life. If it did, that would be really cool and interesting, but unfortunately it’s just a fantasy vision. Mary Poppins, which is the main character, never does anything wrong. She’s in control so how can she do something wrong? She controls the kids by making them go to bed or even just protecting them. She makes everything better! In this movie evil is weak and good is very strong and powerful. Mary Poppins is the good which when she almost gets fired, she concurs it and makes sure she doesn’t. It feels like she can accomplish anything and everyone is joyful at the end, which is mostly how everything seems better than it really is.

The symbolism, characteristics and plot line really showed that this movie was a romantic piece of literature. How amazing would that be if you had a nanny that could do all those things? Everything would be so much easier and calmer. That’s why this movie is getting you to escape just from all your troubles and just think of how peaceful, but exciting everything would be.

Favorite Type of Food

Chinese food is very good
Some people say it tastes like wood
But I would highly disagree
Because sometimes its free


I don't like egg rolls,
But it is my goal
Orange chicken is the best
If you don't believe me put it to the test!
