Modern Times

 

Modern Times was a really good film in my opinion and it was a new experience for me. It was the first silent film that I've seen. I really liked the film because of Charlie Chaplin. He was the main character and he was also the director. He made the movie really funny even at serious times. The film did show some pretty depressing times but Chaplin was able to make it humorous . The film Modern Times was about how Charlie Chaplin saw the future. In that time it was hard for people to get a job and many people struggled because they had no money. Chaplin was able to show that but he made it funny instead of depressing. The film was so good that you were able to tell the character's emotions and feelings even though it was a silent film. Chaplin did really good in making this film and I really enjoyed it.

Bullying

Bullying has been around for a really long time but we have gotten to a point where bullying has become a very serious problem. Many people are bullied every day so it is a problem that is always happening. I honestly don’t see the reason of why people should bully because they are not making the other person feel any better and I don’t see how it makes them any better. I don’t see why people like to bully other people; it’s probably because they are having problems in their house, maybe they are angry and they say thing that they don’t mean to say, or even because they’ve been bullied themselves and want other people to feel what they felt when they were bullied. I have experienced bullying in my life; like once in middle school there is was this kid and he was my friend, this boy was a very smart person and he was always doing well in school. This boy is pretty short so people make fun of him be he is very strong so he could take a joke, but there was always this kid that would always make fun of him and it got to the point where it got really annoying and he would start to take it too far. I saw that the boy didn’t like it because he would look sad. So one day I decided to tell that other kid to leave him alone because the boy never told him to stop and that is why he kept doing it. After I told him to stop the other boy realized that he was hurting his feelings and he apologized to him. I felt like I did the right thing during the situation. So if you are able to help someone that is getting bullied it makes a big difference in that person’s life. Those are my thoughts on bulling.     

My Favorite Movie


My favorite movie has to be The Fast and The Furious. I liked that movie because it is the first one out of the 6 movies that have been made. I am really into cars so that is one of the reasons why I really liked that movie. Now the Fast and The Furious movies have changed, the most recent movies are more action and drama and a little bit of love. But the first 3 movies were all about racing; even when two people would fight they would settle it in a race. Now there’s rarely any racing so I’m not that much of a fan of those movies now. In the first movie there are a lot of different cars and they would go to street races and stuff like that. To me that movie is one of the best I’ve seen mostly because I grew up watching it and I’ve always really liked cars. That is why The Fast and The Furious is my favorite movie.
