Theme: Young people facing a challenge
Intro:
In life, everybody faces challenges. I have chosen to explore the connections family and friends support, and Determination. The texts/films I have chosen are; Michael Hill (Silver Linings), Craig McKibbin (Silver Linings), Soul Surfer (Sean McNamara) and Kingsman: The Golden Circle (Matthew Vaughn).
Text 1:
The challenge for Michael Hill in Silver Linings was that his house had burnt down with everything he owned in it. He had hit rock bottom, but still he pushed himself way out of his comfort zone and went out on a limb.
His family helped him out financially and supported his every decision, no matter how wildly insane they might have sounded. Like, for example, when he was unsure …show more content…
If a challenge is thrown my way, I tend to stay back and survey it for a bit, unless the reward is right in front of my nose. If I think I can do it ill go for it, but if I think I’ll fail I tend not to try. This is important because if you don’t give everything ago you might miss a great opportunity to do something you might end up loving.
Movie 3:
Bethany Hamilton from the movie Soul Surfer was out surfing with her mates one day and was attacked by a shark and had her left arm bitten off. She was in hospital for a while but as soon as she was let out, she wanted to go surfing. She faced her challenge head-on and kept doing what she loved, despite her being now physically handicapped.
This happens when Bethany goes to the nationals for surfing and her family are all divided as to whether she should go or not. I think she firmly sets her goal when her dad finally agrees and says, “OK, but it won’t be easy.” Bethany replies with, “I don’t need easy. I just need possible.” This is really powerful as it shows that with all she’s been through, she’s still determined enough to have the mindset that just because it won’t be easy doesn’t mean she can’t do it, if it’s possible then she can do …show more content…
They then proceeded to launch a missile at every single one of them and destroy them. The only Kingsman agents left were him and a “behind the scenes” man called Merlin. They were each other’s only support left, and they were determined to find out who had done this to them.
When they finally find out who did it, they uncover a much deeper operation is going on. The drugs the cartel is distributing are laced with a virus that make the users skin turn an inky blue, then uncontrollable jerking, paralysis and eventually death. It’s up to Kingsman and their newfound partners at an American organization called Statesman to find the cure and bring down the operation. In one of the fight scenes in a bar, is where the movies most iconic quote is uttered by Harry, Eggsy’s former mentor. “Manners Maketh Man.” This essentially means that you cannot be a real man until you manage to use your manners, even with your worst enemies. Eggsy is determined though because throughout the fight he’s apologizing and making smart comments, much to the enjoyment of his
