The road to happiness is full of setbacks. He lost his car, his wife left him, he became homeless, he was broke, his business didn't really work out, he had to look after his son himself. The frustrations were endless. He did not give up despite of all these encounters. He was willing to keep on going, he was willing to face another rejection from another doctor who might not buy his bone density machine, he was willing to take the risk to become an intern at the Dean Witter company even though he was not paid, he was still willing to attend the interview for the stock broker intern position even though he had spent the previous night in jail. He never quit as resilient in that he seem to know how to bounce back from life’s difficulties. Ann …show more content…

    In life we don’t get to select our path. What happens to us is completely out of our hands. We can’t even choose what makes us feel whole again. While happiness isn’t exactly a choice, learning to cope with adversity is a start. In the novel The Things They Carried, some men like Rat Kiley could not deal the emotions war inflicts and drove themselves insane. Likewise, the young girl knew how to handle her emotions and was able to survive the loss of her loved ones. Life isn’t always about your given circumstances, but the way you react to them. Coping is one of the few things we can still…

    The three aspects of the film that illustrate the healing effect of story on human life are the direction,the funny scenes and the music. The way Roberto Benigni directed the film he is showing that life is not about laughter only. At first I didn't expect the film to have a lonely part, in life you don't know what is going to happen next and what to expect. One funny scene that i love is when Dora is been stung by a wasp and Guido asked her if she is stung in other places. The music of the movie is so calming and everytime I hear it I feel like I'm in a disco or a dance ball in the…

    When I first heard of the title, lots of things popped into my mind. I came to think of struggles, facing fears and any other problems in life. As I watched the film, it occurred to me that it was about an underdog football team that never bloomed in the hand of their coach, Grant Taylor. I’m not an avid fan of any types of sport but I just loved this movie. Regardless of the fact that the football team has great potential and their coach also tried his best in manipulating the team. They failed because of their lack in confidence and belief in one another. At home, Coach Taylor also had some difficulties with his wife because he was impotent and the couple wanted to have their own baby badly. In spite of all the problems going on in his life Coach Taylor grasp onto the Bible and sought God for help. That was how he found his inner strength and helped revived his team teaching them about faith in God. I found that part very heartwarming and moving.…
