Soul Surfer

Chris Brochu, moreover true to Timmy, portrayed him in the film as the fun, loving, charming and creative older brother. Bethany Hamilton describes him as “The guy who enjoys being the odd one out – the class clown.” Finally, Lorraine Nicholson, as Bethany’s best friend Alana, was also perfectly represented in ‘Soul Surfer’ with her love for the ocean, fun and cheeky personality as well as the raw emotions she felt during Bethany’s attack. However, although ‘Soul Surfer’ accurately portrayers all the main characters true to their characteristics and personalities, there were two fictional characters in the film. Reflecting some of the issues a competitive surfer faces in the industry, Malina Birch was created (representing a variety of competitors Bethany had encountered in her life) as the one stereotypical villain.

Bethany Hamilton however explained that, “even if there is some fictional in there, my family and I approved of it and we worked with the writers and directors to come up with something that moves the story as long as it doesn’t water things…

Bethany’s story has inspired many and can easily be recognised as similar to Hannah, a wife unfortunate enough to have any children. Between the two women, many similarities and…

I'm not sure where it comes from, but probably from all the little things that make you into who you are.” -Heidi Klum Every single one of us here have probably been disappointed in our lifetime. However, awful the storm of disappointment is, the most important part of disappointment is how we respond to it. We can either respond to it in a negative way or a positive way. When the going gets tough…

In the movie “Soul Surfer” there’s a scene where a group of kids are asked to look at a zoomed in picture and try to guess what the object is. Their guesses included: a dodge ball, mars, and a blob in a lava lamp when actually the picture was of a fly’s eye. It can be difficult to process what’s being looked at when looking too close. But, if one steps back it can be seen as a whole. This theory is true for life, work, and education. When observing a failing school too closely, fingers might be…
