A Book?

   

       I'm not the biggest fan of books, or reading, but i have read a couple...three...good books in my life that were mandatory for school. Those books were Push based on the movie Precious, Hatchet about a lost boy trying to survive, and To Kill a Mockingbird. And out of those three if i had to take one book into the future it would be To Kill a Mockingbird. Though the book starts out a little boring as it goes on the events start to become more interesting. The movie deals with the issues dishonesty, rape,  racial inequality, and standing up for whats right. The narrator's father is a lawyer who is defending a African american male who is on trial for supposedly raping a trailer trash white girl.  Atticus (father,lawyer), is a hero because he's defending this black man, and no matter what the people in the town are saying he's doing what right, looking at the issue colorblind.  Atticus's children are effected because they have to go to school and hear how their daddy is a nigger lover, and the narrator, Atticus's daughter Scout is constantly getting into fights with the boys because she doesn't like her father being made fun of. In the end the black man on trial is found innocent because the evidence ending up showing that the white girl was actually abused by her father who likes to put his hands on  people when he gets drunk. 
     The movie has a lot of good themes that would make you want o read it over and over. This should mean a lot especially coming from a person who hates to read. To Kill a Mockingbird is a book that can entertain, as well as educate people on life and how certain issues have been and will always be relevant in our society.   

The Butterfly Effect

      My favorite movie of all time is the Butterfly Effect. This film which came out in 2004 was directed by Eric Bress. The actors in this movie are Amy Smart, Melora Wlaters, and the most famous Ashton Kutcher. This movie is a mixture of drama, suspense, and sci-fi.  I'm not the type of person to really watch scary or sci-fi movies, but this movie I felt like i had to watch after seeing the previews, and I was glad i did because, it was the best. The movie is about a boy who suffers from memory blackouts. No one really believes he blackouts until he comes back to conscience and things are different. This happens to him as he grows up in lives his life throughout college. He keeps a journal of some of the events that have happened. When he reads them the words start to move, and take him back in time to that event. He tries to change the bad that happened at that time but when he goes back to the present time it just changes something else. Nothing ever gets better for him or the family and friends in his life. In the end after having a talk with his mother he's told he was a miracle baby, so he takes it as he was never meant to be born so he goes back in time to make that happen, and the movie ends with him never existing.
