Bend it like Beckham

Movie Essay (Bend it like Beckham)

A lot of people are stereotypical or racist, and if you let the people who would push you around do what ever they want to you, you will never be able to achieve your dream, as long as you don’t trust yourself and not have determination you will not achieve anything, and that is why in the movie “Bend it like Beckham” Jess never gave up on her dream, and she did everything that she thinks is right to be successful.

The movie “Bend it like Beckham” was about a young Indian girl named Jess whose dream is to become a professional football player, throughout the movie Jess had some ups and downs, but by her determination she was able to achieve this dream.

In the movie Jess’ dream was to be a professional football player, in the movie Jess’ family would always want her to participate in their Indian culture, her coach Joe, or her friend Jules would then help her remind what she wants to be. For example at her sisters wedding party at Jess’ house, Joe came over wearing a suit and was peaking over the window, Jess’ dad came out the house and talked

    History has portrayed Patrick Henry as a radical man, a title that few men can wear with ease yet, Patrick Henry, was synonymous with the word in the minds of colonists and British Empire. Even though many of us know Henry for his immortal words, we know very little about the hero that contributed greatly to the revolutionary cause. As we glimpse into the past, I hope to give you a brief look into the life of Patrick Henry as well as pop culture 's take on the revolutionary icon.…

    When Patrick henry gave his speech he knew that not everyone would accept what he had to say. To me everyone should have the courage to stand up for what they believe in no matter how everyone else will view it. Patrick Henry gave this speech because he felt that they were not treated as equals and had the right to be treated equally. Everyone should be treated equally. In 1775 and in today’s society all the government cares about is power and money not the citizens of the United States, it’s more like what the citizens of the United States can give them. In his speech he gave all the reasons why the government is messed up and everything that they have done to their people. He did his research before standing up in front of the crowd and telling them what he found out and his opinion on the situation. When he stood up and talked he had no notes he spoke openly about what he believed in and why. I liked how passionate and fiery, he was with regards to the situation with Britain. Henry felt that Britain has done wrong, and British wanted to feel superior. That was my same viewpoint, it just seemed like the British did whatever they wanted, and never cared about the colonists. Like Patrick Henry had said we are more likely to look away or shut our eyes against the truth and listen to the song of the siren till she transforms us into beats! This is still going on today in 2014, we listen to the media and our friends and families instead of us developing our own opinions and standing up for what we believe in. Eventually everything that we listen to will turn us into beasts, everything that we listen to whether it be the media or anyone else they could be filling our head with false information. We don’t know the truth we only know the truth that they want us to know. Patrick Henry and his followers weren’t backing down they were standing up for their rights and for what they believed in. To me that is very inspiring and many more people should follow…

    One of the processes and methods I found was when Watson said Franklins X-ray patterns are getting better and better. Watson described them as getting more beautiful. You could see it as someone cooking, they start to get better at it after practice. Another analogy could be playing the piano, in the beginning you are not very good and you do not know much, but later on after you practice you start to get better. As the X-ray patterns kept improving, it helped Watson and Crick create the first DNA model. It helped them because the details of the X-ray got better so Watson and Crick was able to examine the hard to see stuff with ease. Also through the X-ray patterns it showed that the structure of DNA was helical. Watson was the one to see it was helical. This showed the cooperation of scientists.…
