Gatt High School Movie Analysis

Every teacher tries their hardest to cater to every student in each of their classes. Anytime I hear them talking it is always about what they can do for this student or they’re asking another teacher on what they do for a certain student. Everything they do here is in order to see the student succeed. It may not be easy all the time but it gets done if everyone does their part. I do believe the students need to appreciate this school more than they do. They act as if this school has nothing to offer and does nothing for them. What they don’t realize is how easy they have it here, they get fed reality piece by piece unlike students in other places who get thrown into a huge abyss of confusion and told to fend for themselves. They get after-school tutoring from teachers who stay late to help and content recovery when they haven’t done well on their assignments; I don’t of many schools who do that for their students.

Jay Gatsby- For my Great Gatsby movie, I'd have Jonny Depp play Jay Gatsby. I would pick Jonny Depp for this part because it is a big one, and I feel that he can handle it due to his experience in large spots. For example he was the main character in all Pirates of the Caribbean and he was also the main character in Edward Scissorhands. If you've seen any of Jonny Depp's movies you would know that he is very versatile and will go to any depth to be the best he can as a character.

Mean Girls was released in 2004, written by Tina Fey and mark Waters. The movie was based loosely on “Queen Bees and Wannabees” a self-help book by Rosalind Wiseman. Although the movie was released thirteen years ago, it is still highly discussed and watched today. This is rare for films that are marketed towards young people, and young women especially. Films like mean girls are often seen as frivolous and meant for children, but really Mean Girls is a film for all ages. Mean Girls is funny and hits home for people of all ages- especially adults although it is aimed at teenage girls. It brings back the awful memories of high school- but in a comedic light that lets everyone relate. Like in Girl World, serious themes in a comedy have to be

Director Baz Luhrmann's approach in producing The Great Gatsby was "If some people are going to hate it, why not go balls-out?" (Mensa, Time Magazine) No matter what there would be a myriad of critics of The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Whether he followed the script entirely, used only classical and jazz influences for the music or even produced a less intense film-someone was going to have a complaint. So why not give those who are going to hate it something substantial to hold onto? That's just what he did; using his personal style of incorporating novel themed music with a relative genre that's popular today. For The Great Gatsby, it was drawing inspiration from the Jazz Age and today's hip-hop, similar to Jazz in the sense of it's uprise from the underground to becoming widely known and appreciated. Overall the soundtrack touches on old Jazz, party Jazz, and Hip Hop in a way that reflects the behavior and luxury of the 1920s. As well as aspects of the characters in the novel, especially within the song $100 bill by Jay-Z.

What I believe that our society could do to make our education better is by all of the teachers treating all of their students the same way. Some teachers treat some students better than others by helping them more or letting them off the hook. Also, some teachers feel it is necessary to treat students differently because we are all different, but that doesn't mean that some students should be treated better.

After many years in the classroom and several as a facilitator, there were many situations that I have observed and or been a part of that did not make me happy I found myself saying what I would have said or done if I was the principal of the school. My heart began to break for those students that were in classes with teachers that did not seem to really care about whether or not the students actually got it but more so doing the bare minimum to say that the skill had been taught. I saw children struggle. I saw children and parents with hurt feelings and then angered by the way a teacher had treated or talked to them. I even saw some teachers that just did not care. I wanted that to change. For years I put off going back to school. I got my Masters in Education right after I

Gerald Lambeau notices that Will has the ability to use math in a way that not even his college students could. After knowing this, Prof Lambeau, shows his overly obsessive behavior. He basically pushes Will to get himself together by mentoring him academically and encouraging him to start therapy. This decision wasn't necessarily on Will's plans. A Forbes contributor, Andersen, explained that not having a college degree does not necessarily equal failure. Agreeing with this, most of the U.S. population focuses on relying on school as an intelligence measure of an individual. (Andersen) Although, a college degree would benefit Will, the film shows that he could still find a career without a college

You can’t miss one of the world’s most popular literary works brought to the big screen. Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic “The Great Gatsby” has sparked interest from many of the legendary parties thrown by the movie’s wealthy titled character. Baz Luhrmann is an Australian director and screenwriter best known for his films “Romeo + Juliet”, “Strictly Ballroom” and of course “The Great Gatsby”.

In today’s society it is nearly impossible to survive without an education. It is important that we have the right kind of teachers to accomplish certain goals. A good teacher is one who listens to their students and tries to answer any questions they might have about anything. I think that a good teacher should also be able to listen to others opinions and not argue with them but try to understand their point of view on the subject.

F. Scott Fitzgerald is known to modern society as the author of The Great Gatsby due to the film adaptation in 2013 and the widespread fascination of the Roaring 20’s. Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1896 and died in Hollywood, California in 1940. Fitzgerald had been a writer throughout his lifetime such as while he attended Princeton, he contributed to Princeton Tiger and the Nassau Literary Magazine. Fitzgerald had later been placed on academic probation, and due to this event in his life, he joined the army. After the war, Fitzgerald met his future wife Zelda, who broke off their engagement due to his lack of fortune. Fitzgerald then left for New York to achieve a great fortune as a writer to win the hand of Zelda. While in

As a young student, I loved going to school and I thought my teachers were amazing. I enjoyed learning new information and I loved going to school. Later in my education, I realized that curriculum has changed over time, and not for the best. In the past, teachers taught with enthusiasm and with creativity. Lessons were new and exciting for students; now, the creativity is gone and lessons are plain. I believe that creativity in schools has vanished and teachers only care about teaching the required standards. Yes, teachers are required to teach students the necessary standards, but I feel like that is all that school is

Another point that makes a good teacher would be his/her patience. Teachers should not get upset or even worse, give up on the students who are not so strong in their studies. Instead, they should have the patience to slowly coach them, give them extra lessons, and find different ways to encourage them. Let them know that the teacher

First, I think we need more communication between students and teachers. In the article Because I’m Happy According to Christina Hinton “If schools want to support students wellbeing and achievement they should take seriously nurturing positive relationship among teachers

Based off of the 1925 book that’s considered a “Great American Novel”, The Great Gatsby (Baz Luhrmann, 2013) is an American movie (however filming strictly took place in Australia) directed by Baz Luhrmann who is “known for his lavish productions, over-the-top techniques, and emphasis on heightened reality” (Kuiper, 2013). The one hundred and forty two minute movie is based on Jay Gatsby, a rich man who is very mysterious as he never leaves his home despite having hundreds of lavishing parties. The only time he was seen as a party was when Nick Carraway was invited to one of his parties. All other guest before Carraway has denied ever seeing Gatsby. He previously met Daisy while being stationed in the military for World War I., trying to win back Daisy Buchanan, a woman from Louisville, Kentucky who is married to Tom Buchanan and is the cousin of Nick Carraway. She met Gatsby while he was being stationed for War during World War I while they had a brief fling, nothing ever really came of it. This love story took place during the Western culture era during the “Roaring Twenties”.

I believe that if the teachers put in as much effort as the students, then they may learn better. By this, I mean that if the teachers tried to teach every single student and made sure that they really understood the material, then the students would not be as
