Changes In The Movie example essay topic

Change Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing them selves. Good morning class and teacher, no matter what we do we can not avoid change, it is an inescapable concept that some people need and some find hard to accept and in the poem 'Sky High' and movie 'Redemption' both of these solutions to change are demonstrated. Hannah Robert, the author of Sky High describes and relives her childhood by remembering how she used to swing on her clothes line. As she goes back to her childhood meme roy other details come back ti her bit by bit; the almond tree, the nectarine tree and the patchy lawn. When she sees the vegetables that were planted in her garden she suspects that, all they eat is vegetables, which is what a kid would think if they had seen a garden full of vegetables.

She describes swinging on the clothes line is like flying. The ending lines '... it is unlikely the washing line could support me this time. There are too many things tying me to the ground' means that she is not a care free child anymore and that she has responsibilities and priorities to take care of. Change in Hannah's age forced her to accept that she is not a child anymore. The film Redemption is about a Death Row Inmate who changes his ways from Leader of Los Angeles biggest gang "Crips" to a Nobel Prize Nominee.

Staring actor Jamie Fox plays, Stan Williams, a role which changes in the movie, he starts off as a young violent black teen on the streets of LA, he starts up a gang in his hood called the cries and from then he and his group commit numerous crimes. Finally Stan gets put on trial for the crimes he had committed, he was then put on Death Row and sent to San Quentin prison, after time Stan realizes what type of person he had become and that where he had ended up in is the worst place in the world he then meets up with a journalist who helps him publish a series of children's books that highlights the dangers of gang violence; after his books were published he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Redemption demonstrates changing self through a person who has been a violent gang leader to a wise and respected Death Row Inmate. Some scene in the movie shows Stan narrating different events that happened in his life and when he does this, it gives us a different perspective of the life that he lived and we start to see him through his own eyes and not as a stereotypical black man. A major turning point for Stan in this movie was when he was being walked out of his cell and he sees an old man tearing holes in paper, the old man then tells Stan that he should try it "it might set you free".

Stan changed himself because of the negative environment he was in and because he wanted to help kids avoid gangs. If it's reliving a childhood memory or changing the way you are to help people, change in your self is something that only you can control. Changing self is what ever you make it.
