What value do you hold most dear?

     The value I hold most dear to me is my family. They have taught me what's important and right from wrong. They are always there for me. My family loves me and cares for me.

     My love for my family is huge all the way from my dog to my great grandmother. This value was taught to me by my parents. " Family over everything", my dad always says. My dad has taught many things including this value. My mom has also taught me a lot of very important values like respect.

    This value is very important. It will carry on throughout my life no matter what. No matter how busy I am with work or school I can always find time to visit my family.

Groundhog Day

          In the movie Groundhog Day A weather man (Phil) covers a story about a groundhog in the small "Hick" town of Punxsutawney. This is his one of many visits on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the following day he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again.


         As Phil awakens everyday to the same day he starts to do stuff he would never do. Phil steals, runs from the cops and flirts with people. He finally gives up on life and commits suicide many times but wakes up again and again and realizes it has no meaning. Whats life worth living for?  To me being happy makes life worth living. Phil waking up everyday with no consequences from what he did before makes him go crazy. He finds his self identity and what makes him happy. Phil was a loner and once he found his inner self and what made him happy life became worth living.
       
          Though it may be hard to believe, something good came from this experience. He started to see things better and in a different way when he had nothing else to do. Life became worth living when he realized that he truly did love his co-worker and started making a difference in not only his life but other people's lives as well.

In the movie Whale Rider I learned a lot. I learned about tribes and tradition. I learned how serious some people are about there tradition and how things work where they live. I also learned about motifs. Whale rider was a good movie. I liked the plot. I liked the symbols and foreshadowing it showed. I thought it was inspirational.

The Horse Dealer's Daughter. World Lit

One of the examples I found in The Horse Dealer's Daughter that exemplifies one of the numbers in "Professor" is water. In the The Horse Dealer's Daughter Mable is the daughter of the person who dies. She and her brothers are left with tons of debt. The brothers ditch her and leave her with all the dept. Mable tries to kill her self by drowning. Drowning was a solution to her problems but also caused a Union between her and the doctor who ended up saving her. In conclusion water can mean lots of things, some good some bad.

Is it important to share one's opinion with others?

    I think it is very important. You should always give your opinion on something it gives the person or persons a different prospective on the topic. It allows you to get what your thinking out there and change peoples thoughts.

    I also think there is a time and place to share your opinions and when not to. You shouldn't just blurt out your opinion, it makes you look dumb and ignorant but if you over hear some people talking and you gradually make your way into the conversation then giving your opinion isn't such a bad thing.
