Einstein: light to the power of 2

The film Einstein: Light to the Power of 2 was a delightful tale of Albert Einstein’s quest to help a little girl with her struggles in school. She is being faced with a multitude of challenges including science fair, chastising peers, and the threat of remedial classes.
Throughout the movie, Einstein carries a compass that his father gave him when he was a little boy. He has kept it all these years because he is intrigued by the fact that no matter what it always points north. This symbolizes his goals to always reach “north” with his aspirations in life. This relates to the moral of the film that no matter what, you should always chase your goals and have goals that are challenging but achievable. This film can be compared to The Wizard of Oz because of the cast of characters and their role in the story itself. The good witch is symbolized by the Lani’s mother who, no matter how much her daughter wanted to give up, always pointed her in the right direction and encouraged her to be ambitious and not to accept what the world tells her that she deserves. However the juxtaposition does not end there. The wicked witch is also represented in the film although it is not just by one person. Einstein’s secretary is one of the misleading, mean, and untrusting characters. She doesn’t want Lani around Mr. Einstein because she believes that he has more important things to do than talk with immature little girls. The other possible wicked witch is the school teacher that wants to put Lani in remedial classes. She won’t except any other possibility and is giving up on Lani’s education. This is another situation that pulls out the good attributes in Lani’s mother because, when faced with the challenge of losing the battle of her daughter’s school career, she becomes a fierce opponent who is not too challenged when it comes to her daughter’s future. The flying monkeys, however less prominent, are also represented by the little girls who taunted Lani. The
