Slumdog Millionaire

National Service Training Program
(NSTP02G)

Passed by:
Bedua, Camille F.

Passed to:
Mr. Stanley Ybañez In the world where we stand today, money is such an accommodating material that almost everyone would do everything to gain this. The movie of Slumdog Millionaire by Danny Boyle is all about the struggle of brothers Jamal and Salim towards living. Along with their friend and Jamal’s lost love, Latika, they worked on through their lives with various twists and turns. At an early age, the three were introduced to different brutalities. First, they were victims of a religious feud. Resulting to the lost of Jamal and Salim’s mother. Second, the three were taken by a syndicate and forced them to beg for money. There came a time that they attempted to escape but Latika was left behind. Nevertheless, Jamal didn’t forgot her. As they grew up, they got involved to lots of circumstances that gave Jamal unforgettable lessons.

Though Jamal strove to live through the right way, Salim didn’t. They were separated and Salim lived by greed and power. He learned to kill and steal. I think Salim is just a victim. He is just a victim of circumstances wherein he faced poverty just as young as he could remember. For many years, he had to work so that he and his brother could have food to eat. This pushed him to accept the wrong ways. After the separation, Salim wasn’t the boy as he was before. He was very different. He did many things and worked for a famous gangster just to earn money. All of us have a choice but Salim went to a bad decision. Because of the need and greed for money, he chose the worst decision in his life, to be a follower of the wrong and the bad. However, I can’t blame him. He wanted to live an easy life full of power. This led him to that choice. Although that was his case, I was amazed by him because he faced and fought many troubles but still he believed

    Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Hanging of the Mouse”, places animals in the roles of humans in reference to an execution. The writer uses animals to replace humans to possibly convey a message or point of view towards the death penalty. In the story, the mouse is being executed for what we believe is some sort of crime. It isn’t clear whether or not the mouse actually committed a crime, but we are led to believe that an act occurred in which caused the mouse to be executed on this particular day.…

    Strategy is the most important and highest risk activity of an organization's leadership. Whether small or large, very few organizations and leaders understand what it takes to create an effective and useful strategic plan. Terminology is often confusing, plan documents gather dust, and planning processes get bogged down without effective implementation. Too often, the result of an investment in strategic planning is an organizational cynicism and resulting detachment between the strategic plan and the day-to-day realities of the organization. (Ron Price, 2006)…

    Held on May 15 of every year, the Pahiyas Festival is carried out to give thanks to San Isidro Labrador for the good harvest. It is one of the country’s oldest festivals tracing its origin way back to the 16th century. Back then, farmers bought food to the foot of Mt. Banahaw as a sign of Thanksgiving, but eventually this tradition — done in the hopes of having a good harvest year — was modified to make the church the central offering place.…

    It is almost a month when we had our educational tour for our subject, History 23, which toured us in historical places of Batangas and Laguna. Packed with excitement to learn and to see ancestral things, I prepared my things up even before the exact date of our tour.

    The guitar concert last September 7 2012 was indeed a show not to miss. It presented various styles and techniques that created a very wonderful piece of art. There were many factors that made the concert more than pleasing to the spectators that were present that night. First was the aura that the concert created, it was calm yet powerful which in my point of view really made the concert not boring or easy to fall asleep. The way the guitar, violin and the Chapman stick were played together was truly above the normal capabilities of a trained person. It was really harmonious as if the players were unconsciously playing their instruments. It was really like it was a part of their body.…

    Philippines economy nowadays portraits a good start for, as we are lifting our country from the previous economic situation. Not including the whole world economy, we are experiencing a smaller amount of problems in our economy than the recent. The rate of exchange between our Pesos against the Dollar is going stronger from now and as some bank company said that it could reach as high as ₱37.50 in the next year. This is worthy for our country that it could raise the percentage to lessen the financial crisis and issues of our economy here in the Philippines. However, this could also mean that some other Filipinos, who are contributing a lot in our economic growth, will be at an edge of helping themselves to this “firmer peso”.…

    First of all if I may, the article should have been entitled “Same Sex Marriage”, well that’s just my opinion. It is true that there are these kinds of parenting and family arrangement nowadays. Solo parenting, surrogate parenting, families with adopted children, blended families, multiple families, and families headed by same sex couples. There are many factors that affect this kind of family setup like work, how a person was raised, morality of a person, the kind of environment person grew up and many more.…

    The story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” is an exciting story. I would explain it as a car crash; people want to turn away but they keep looking. No one ever wants to hear a story about a young girl being kid napped or raped but when people do see it in the news they want to know all the details and that’s kind of how I felt reading the story. I felt that it was exciting because I didn’t see what was coming next; I thought the story would have been about a daughter and her problems with her mother but it turned out to be about a lot more.…

    The film is told through a series of flashbacks linking the jailed Jamal in the present with the hardships of his past. While Jamal’s love for Latika remains the center of the story throughout, the film never strays away from giving us big helpings of reality and gut-wrenching drama. It is fluffy, somewhat implausible love story in one moment and real world tragedy in the next, keeping its audience engaged at every turn. As well, the performances from all three actors that portray Jamal through the stages of his life sell him as our slum-born hero. He’s a character so likable that it really isn’t fair. All we are left to do is pull for him.…
