I find the movie “Akeelah and the Bee” written and directed by Mr. Doug Atchison quite interesting and inspirational because it was my first time to be serious in watching a movie that is about academics. There is a girl‚ which is Akeelah the one who seems afraid of acting like a bookworm joined a simple Spelling Bee made by their school to know who is qualified to compete in the National Spelling Bee and she is the chosen one because of her genuine potential but when Akeelah is going to take her

some may think of them as selfish‚ he had his reasons for packing up his few belongings‚ leaving his family and walking “Into the Wild.” The death of Chris McCandless was an accidental tragedy. Chris and his dad never really got along (Source One.) They were both stubborn making it impossible to agree on anything. They both always had to be right. Chris decided to be “the bigger person” though and stick to his mother and fathers plan for him through college. He didn’t complain and he even visited them

Chris McCandless (Alex) was a young‚ privileged man who went into the wild because of his idealism and contempt for a materialistic lifestyle‚ his romanticism of Nature‚ and his desire to live a meaningful life. I admire Chris McCandless for choosing to pursue his dream of hiking across Alaska no matter how many people thought he was crazy. He “threw away subtlety and immersed himself in the values he thought were worthwhile and pursued the ideals that he felt were important‚” (LaMarche). He believed

To me Chris McCandless was a dedicated and adventurous young man. He was very dedicated to the thing he loved. When people told him what to do he very rarely listened to them‚ so to me he was very independent. When he was put to a job he was very dedicated to it‚ it didn’t matter what it was. Like when he moved to the town where Wayne Westerberg live he was put to work and all the people he worked with agreed that he was a very hard working person. When Chris decided to go into the wilderness

Chris McCandless There comes a time in everyone’s life where they start to make decisions. For some this time comes at an early age‚ some directly after high school‚ for others it comes after college. No matter what time it comes in your life there is always this realization that you have to become “independent and self sufficient”. Chris McCandless was one of those people who realized this‚ but took this experience that most people go through and over exaggerated into something that he

week was to watch the movie Akeelah and The Bee and fill out a character trait chart. Akeelah was developing her character as the movie progressed. In order to have a strong self-esteem‚ you must first have a strong character. Showing positive character traits will boost your own self-esteem. The first character trait exhibited in this movie was trustworthiness. Her brother shows this trait by saying if Akeelah made it to the National Spelling Bee‚ he would come and watch her. He kept his word

prepared for nothing‚ he felt that he was above nature and it could not affect him. Chris McCandless in Jon Krakauer’s “Into The Wild” went into the wild unprepared for the conditions he was about to face. As a person who read the writings of Jack London‚ his death seems somewhat ironic. “To Build a Fire” by Jack London brings out the irony even more‚ we see how London wrote and how it relates to how Chris died. Chris McCandless is a person who did not believe in rules of society. He believed that
