    Another way it differs normally from a classical film is the fact most classical movies have narrating throughout the whole movie. In (500) Days of Summer the only narrating that happens is in the introduction and in the scene where Tom is in Summers bed. The characters aren’t the same Tom definitely isn’t a Cary Grant or a Henry Fonda. The last difference is the movie setting a lot of roommates have a connection to the place they are, but this movie just takes place there because its were they…

    Have you ever felt like you are were alone, and nobody is listening to what you have to say? These are the feelings Margot was expressing. She was in a classroom, having a happy day about to see the sun, and then she was turned on, trapped in a closet. The short story and movie, “All Summer in a Day,” by Ray Bradbury and Ed Kaplan is a story of a child, living on Venus, named Margot that wishes she would see the sun again. Every seven/nine years it would come out, and Margot wasn't able to experience it, since she was trapped inside the closet. This was because Will was jealous of how she was able to see it when she was very little. Both stories are made off of the same idea, but are drastically different. Yes, there may be some similarities, but you see that there are plenty of differences. This is shown from all of the extra footage Ed Kaplan needed to add in. Such as in the ending, when it doesn't just show Margot leaving the closet like in the short story, but all of the kids feel so bad they gave her the flowers that they grabbed.…

    After my first week of the Summer Bridge Program at Penn St-Abington, I learned a lot about the differences between high school and college. I really understand in high school that you must be there during the allotted hours, success rides on the teacher, and that we can get away from not reading the text for class and in college you have more freedom, harder courses, and longer hours of studying. We learned how to become an efficient and effective learner. What I learned from that lesson is that, I have to focus much more and study much harder then what I did in high school. Also that college is no joke since it’s a privilege and that high school is a right that we have to go. To me the most effective strategy I learned is how to become a better listener and how to be a successful student in college. The way I’m going to be a better listener is by using study strategies, note taking strategies and go to a tutoring center if I have trouble. What I learned so far relates to the present is that some strategies I never used or thought about. In the future, I’m going to use tutoring center or use the professor’s office time for any question I don’t understand. In conclusion, I learned so far is going to change the way I look at college. I understand now that college is no place to mess around. It’s a place where you chose what you want to do in the long…

The lesson that is hinted at throughout the story is that when someone is envious or jealous of another they can do and say many things they are not proud of.…
