Summary
The movie was very emotional in many ways. Anna Fitzgerald (Abigail Breslin) the main character and Brian and Sara Fitzgerald were her mother and father. Anna has an older brother Jesse, and a younger sister, Kate, who was diagnosed with leukemia. Anna was unable to have a childhood because she was brought into the world purposely for a genetic match for her sister. When Anna turns 13 years old she will have to donate one of kidneys to her sister, Kate. Anna gets is very upset and tired of feeling like she's only alive for the help of her sister. Anna decides to sue her parents for medical emancipation and the rights to her own body. Campbell Alexander decides he will help Anna sue her parents. Kate knew she would not survive the surgery and wants to die. Anna finally wins the case and is able to keep her kidney. After the case is over, Kate dies in the hospital. Every single family member was affected by Kate's illness and they go on with their lives, but changed from her death.This movie was very good. The characters in the movie each had their own inseparable bonds with each other and there was an unpredictable twist at the end of the movie. Also, this movie is good because the sister, Kate, falls in love and Jesse, Kate's brother, takes her to the beach because that was the last thing she wanted.
Characters
Not every family always gets a long with each other. In this movie, the mother, Anna, and Kate love each other and have this bond that not everyone has. For example, when Kate started losing her hair, her mother shaved her head bald. I know from experience that us females love our hair and without we don't feel like a woman. Also, Kate and Anna would do anything for each other and truly are best friends.
Throughout the whole movie, we assume that Anna is suing her mother because she wants to and is sick and tired of being used for her body parts. Kate loves Anna so much and does not like seeing Anna suffer from feeling like she is worthless. At the end of the movie we find out that Anna is not the one who wanted to sue her parents, it was Kate. Kate knew that she was going to die and her parents needed to realize Anna is their daughter too. This made the movie interesting because it was so unpredictable. |

Trial
Love Story
We all need someone to love. Before Kate died she found her true love. She met Taylor in the hospital while he was getting his treatment. They both had cancer so they were going through the same thing and had that special connection. They could talk to each other about things that no one else would understand. Love stories always make a good movie better!
Last Wish
Kate was dying she knew it was coming. Her family did not want to face reality and say she was. Jesse, Kate's brother, finally came to realize that Kate was going sooner than they thought and wanted to make her happy. Jesse wanted to take Kate to the beach but he had to sneak her out. This may not have been good for Kate, but it was what she wanted. They whole family went with and they stayed on the beach the whole day together.
Closing
Throughout the whole movie we knew Kate had cancer and was dying. We got to see the family change because of Kate's illness. Relationships with everyone changed all for the best! The family did get closer and realized everyone needs love no matter what the situation is!
The pictures you choose were great. I really liked the moving picture. I feel like the background/theme you picked for this is excellent. If you are just doing a summary, you shouldn't give away the ending. You did a great job at pulling out the emotions of the film into the text. Maybe think about adding the trailer?

The pictures you used in this blog are very good. It seems like your links are not appearing right in the text, they are highlighted white, which doesn't go well with the background. I noticed that your topic sentences seemed more like summary then argument or evaluation. I like the style the page is in it looks good and will attract views eyes. You should try and figure out if your making a evaluation or analysis of the movie.

If you are going to do a summary, give a stronger summary and keep it in order, not spread all over the page. If you are going to stick with analysis, make sure your sentences are worded in a way that makes sense and reads well. I would suggest cutting out the part about "us females love our hair..." as it is a broad generalization and adds little to the analysis. If you are going to have a section about characters, you should talk about more than just the three women. I going to go ahead and question the phrase "love stories always make a good movie better" because the love story wasn't exactly a focal part of the movie and I know that statement not to be true because I've seen the film "Gigli".

I really liked your summary. However, I do agree that you shouldn't give the ending away. I like the pictures, especially the moving one because I feel like it captures the relationship between the two girls perfectly. Some of the information I found repetitive, but then again it does apply to various sections in your post. I haven't seen the movie, but after reading this, I definitely want to see it!
ReplyDeleteThe summary was done well on this movie considering i've never seen it. The theme of the blog goes very well with the type of movie this is and brings out the pictures. The gif with the girls moving is a good touch to the whole review. This was well done and I enjoyed reading
ReplyDeleteThe summary is good, but at times it gets confusing.I love your the pictures you choice, they are relevant to each subtopic. I also love that the background of your booger is in pink, because it creates a approach towards the female audience. I will like to see the tittle in a bigger size or maybe another font.
