Conflict

From a movie...
In the movie Identity Thief , the conflict is that the main character's identity was stolen by a woman in another state. She was spending all his money and buying useless things. Because of this, he was having trouble at work, therefore he had to track her down and pay her a visit. He had to leave his family and his job to find the thief in Florida.

From life...
An internal conflict I have in my life right now is being nervous for my behind-the-wheel test. My test is next monday. I felt pretty confident about it, but then people who already took the test made me feel nervous. Now I am starting to question myself. I had no problem at the beginning, but now I feel more nervous than I have ever felt.

Idea for film
As a girl goes to the DMV to take her behind-the-whell test, she present her I.D, but they reject it. They think she stole someone's ID, but in reality someone stole her ID. She is on a mission to get her ID back, but on her way a cop pulls her over. She gets in trouble, not only for not having her license, but for "stealing an identity."

Beginning, middle, and end

Right now in my life im in the beginnning of what many refer to as "real life." Next month I will be 18, and in a couple of months I will start college. From now and on, nothing will be handed to me anymore; I will have to work for what I want. School will not be as easy, and I will be treated as an adult. With that comes many responsibilities and high expectations. At the same time as that is starting, something else is coming to an end. My teenage years are coming to an end. In my teenage years everything seemed so easy, but as I'm getting closer, I see that things get more and more complex.



Superior Position
My friend Leslie use to secretly date a guy, Elmer, that plays soccer with my cousins. They had to keep it a secret because Elmer was married. Eventually, that guy got caught so he stopped messing around with Leslie, and eventually this girl got a boyfriend, Jay. Leslie began to bring Jay to the soccer games on sundays, and he met Elmer. Up until this day, many months later, Jay does not know that Leslie and Elmer were secretly dating. Therefore, everytime I see Jay and Elmer shake hands and make jokes, I think of how stupid they both look because Jay doesn't know, and Elmer does know but he still decides to act like his friend. Leslie still talks to Elmer in front of Jay, and he doesn't get mad, but that's because he doesn't know of their past. Almost everyone in the team knows, except for him.

My Film Job

I'd like to be an actor  or a screenwriter. The reason as to why I'd like to be an actor is because it would be a fun experience. Also, the actors are guided by the rest of the production company, therefore if I am doing something wrong, there will always be someone to correct me or guide me. I'd like to be a screenwriter because I have already wrote a short screen play and it wasn't bad; I see myself doing that job for a film. In addition, the screenwriters are under the supervision of the producer and the director so if I am doing something wrong, once again there will be someone to help me. That does not mean that I won't do my job properly because I know there's someone to supervise me, it just means thats there is a higher chance that I will do my job right under their supervision.

My Review on The Elephant Man

    In my opinion, the elephant man is a great movie. Usually black and white films do not interest me, but this one did. To be honest, at the beginning of the film I thought it would be boring, but as we continued to watch it, I felt very interested, and at some point even felt kindness towards John Merrick. For example, when the night porter harrased him, it made me feel terrible. It made me want to punch the night porter. I kept telling myself that it was only a movie and that they were actors, but it didn't make me feel any better. I felt compassion for John merrick. As we kept watching and anlyzing the film, I learned that there is much more to the movie than just a story being told. I learned about the symbolism in it and everything that went along with it, and it surprised me. It also made me question myself: if im good or bad. Well, if in the future I were to see a deformed person like John Merrick, I would not express disgust towards him/her. I would rather remind them that they were made that way for a reason, and that they are beautiful no matter what others say.

My Name is John Merrick

    I felt like things were gonna keep getting better. Ever since Dr.Treves took me in, so many positive things have happened to me. People were treating me like an actual human being rather than a circus animal, but today I lost all hope. Tonight, the night porter and a bunch of other spectators came along, and once again harrased me. I was treated like a circus animal once again. I guess that's what I really am. Mr.Bytes brought me back with him to France, where I am not treated like a man, but like an animal. It felt nice to be a person for a few days, but that's as good as it will get. I now realize that things aren't gonna get better from here on, because I am now in the same place where I started. This is probably where I belong. I was a fool to think I'd be able to fit in like the other people. The truth is, I enjoyed being a human, but now I have no other option but to be a freak and live upon the other animals.

Welcome to My Nightmare

    When I was in the 11th grade, I had a nightmare that I wish I could Forget. One night I fell asleep on the living room couch rather than my bed, and in my dream, for some reason I was in a room with my spanish teacher and some classmates. We were getting ready to go to sleep, and while she was saying goodnight to us, something kept dragging me off the bed. I was very confused, but I did not want to say anything because I didn't want my classmates to think I was crazy. I then began to hear all these noises and voices and I felt as if something was about to posses me, and I rememeber thinking "sleep paralysis is happening", but it was actually just a nghtmare. I then began to pray like crazy in my dream and fortunately the voices went away, but when I opened my eyes in the dream, I was sitting in a corner, and standing in front of me was a boy that I know from school. The strange part is that I dont really talk to that boy, so I dont know why he was in my dream. Anyway, he was warning me that no matter what happens, I shouldn't laugh. I was so confused, and out of nowhere popped out a cat. That might not sound scary, but this cat was strange. For as it walked towards me it kept laughing, it was an evil laugh, and the cat kept getting bigger and bigger. The boy had warned me to not laugh, but  I couldn't help it. I was so scared but I began to laugh, and when I finally woke up my body felt super hot. It might not sound so scary, but it felt so real and the image of the cat and its laugh stayed in my head for the next couple of days.

The Future

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
    I believe that from 50-100 years from now, the world will be much more modern than it is now. For example, only a couple of phones are waterproof, but in the future all phones will be waterproof. In addition, books will be vey rare. People are already using technology to read such as tablets, laptops, etc., and hardly any actual hard cover books. Flyig cars have already been invented, but 50-100 years from now they will be perfected. We dont see flying cars on a daily basis, but we will see them. There will be an entire system based on how the cars should travel in the sky, just like there is here on the actual ground. I believe that 50-100 years from now, people will be able to take trips to the moon and back. Many astronauts have done it, but they will start giving people that right to get make money off of it. It will take a lot of time and effort but they'll manage to set up a way for people to visit the moon for fun. I can also imagine that machines will be replacing people. Many machines are already taking up the jobs of many people and it will continue to happen. I am not 100% sure of what the future has in store for us, but the obvious is that everything is advancing at a rapid pace and in no time we will see crazy/dramatic changes.

A Time I Laughed Really Hard

    One time that I laughed really hard was when my mom told me a story about little me. When I was little, my grandma use to sell candy, and she kept the candy in a jar. I was only about 2 or 3 years old when I thought that I would be able to steal a handful of candy and get away with it. Well, my mom told me that she was cleaning the kitchen when she heard screaming and crying from another room. She realized it was me and she ran to where I was, and she found me with both hands inside the jar of candy. The funny part is that I was crying because I couldn't get my hands out, but i would not let go of the candy. It was so simple, all I had to do was drop the candy or atleast get only a peice of candy at a time, but I was too stubborn and I wanted two handfuls. My parents and my grandma thought the sight of a chubby little girl stealing candy was funny, and up until today they still laugh because they say they remember my face expression pefectly. I laugh too because it sounds like something I would do, even at this age.

My Review on Modern times

    Modern times was such a great film for many reasons. First off, it was able to communicate many messages and make the viewers laugh, both at the same time. Chaplin expressed his thoughts on the work place, on how to handle a bad sitution, love, and the future. In addition, this film made many people feel better about the situation they were in. What Chaplin did best was make people laugh, therefore the point of this film was to make people laugh and teach them that they must smile no matter how bad the situation was. Chaplin knew that his audience was going through a rough time, which inspired a happy endig to his movie. It was also a grat movie because the audience was able to relate to what was going in the film, for example, the strikes, unemployment, and the over-working. People were able to feel a connection with the film and at the same time have a laugh and learn how to look at the situation in a positive manner.

My Thoughts on Bullying

Bullying is such an ugly thing, and in reality, it happens in every school. In some schools it happens more than in others, but it should not happen at all. I witnessed bullying on my first year of high school, but it was nothing new to me since I had already witnessed it in middle school. I had never been bullied or never was I the bully, but I never took action either when I witnessed bullying. I believe that that the reason as to why I never did anything to help the person being bullied is because each time they stood up to the bully. For example, a friend of mine in 9th grade was sort of a bully. One day in physical ed. class she began to call another girl names and embarrass her in front of her friends. The things she was saying to her were very rude but the other girl did not take it, she stood up to her and a huge argument broke out. The teachers were able to stop them, but that proves that bullying can lead to greater things, not only hurt feelings. Bullying can lead to so many negative things such as fights, hurt feelings, thoughts of suicide, etc. Bullying should not have to be an issue, especially not in high schools were kids are supposed to be mature.

My Favorite Movie

          Two of my favorite movies are Pitch Perfect and Maleficent. The reason as to why Pitch Perfect is my favorite movie is because all the girls in the movie are very distinct from each other, but they manage to set their differences aside and work together to win the competition. Not only that but the movie is very funny and it has a touch of love in it as well. Also, another thing that makes Pitch Perfect one of my favorite movies is that the sound tracks in the movie are very familiar to me in comparison to other movies in which I cannot recognize the music. Maleficent is my second favorite movie because Disney managed to turn an animated princess fairytale into an actual movie with actual human beings. They did a very good job because it looks very realistic, but most importantly they added a twist to the movie. They were able to tell the other side of the story since everybody only knew one side of the story. I not only enjoyed watching the movie, but it also taught me a lesson: that to every story there are two sides and one cannot decide who is really the bad person without hearing both sides.
