But I’m not going to nitpick the hole movie instead I would like to talk about some of the major details that are fairly well known; like how the Roman army fought in battle. The Roman army was know for its discipline‚ organization‚ and innovation in both weapons and tactics. First lets talk about the Roman army and how it was structured and organized. The Roman army

I would like to point out the parenting style that was reflected in this movie‚ which was Indifferent. Heath states that Indifferent parents “for several reasons do not spend the necessary time and energy required as their parenting role as well as they seem uninvolved and uninterested in their children’s development” (Heath 2013). This describes the mother perfectly. After her husband’s death she did not care about anything. She went into a depressed state‚ which forced Gilbert to play the role

McFarland is a movie based on Coach Jim White‚ a track coach. It showed him as he created‚ then coached the McFarland Cougar’s cross country team to victory. It was a very moving movie with a main message‚ but that message was not what had struck me. The most powerful message was said before a race.

This quote has so much meaning

Deaf Culture Film Analysis 1) I personally found the film on deaf culture extremely interesting because it made the deaf community easier to understand by portraying people who are deaf simply as people of a different culture‚ and showed the deaf as real human beings who have opinions and deserve rights which is important because we live in such a hearing dominated society in which our world is filled with so many misconceptions about the deaf. I enjoyed the film because it gave me a deeper understanding

A friend to me is someone who you can trust and share some of the same common interests with. A friend should be someone you can tell anything and they won’t judge you for it. Also you should be able to trust them with anything including emotional secrets. In my opinion if you cant do any of these things with someone you consider a friend‚ you should probably reconsider. Friends are people that should be cherished and chosen carefully. In the case of the cube brothers‚ Rick and Gordon character-traits
