Hope In The Movie Precious

I felt that this movie addressed numerous forms of abuse such as verbal, physical, sexual as well as neglect. Her father, resulting in her having two children, sexually abuses Precious. Her mother verbally and physically abuses her at home. Numerous emotions were at play while watching the movie such as anger, sadness, empathy, as well as hope. Precious was able to tackle all the hardships she faced and persevered. She exemplified courage and strength through adversity. Precious had some very influential people in her life, however, which may have saved her life and her children’s lives. Firstly, the principal at her original school noticed Precious and helped her. She could have ignored Precious and moved her along in the school system.

Imagine floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean. You are famished and dehydrated and on the brink of death. Sores cover your sunburnt skin, and sharks surround the raft waiting for you to fall in. But somehow you remain optimistic. You find happiness in the little things. Perhaps a rain storm passed and you were able to drink and collect water. Maybe you caught a fish or a bird to eat. It’s the little things that are keeping you alive. This is how Louie and Phil were in Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken. They were both very optimistic about the situation. However, their friend Mac was very pessimistic. He would not talk, ate all the chocolate rations, and was just trying to protect himself. All of these men were able-bodied, fit, and received

One level to address when watching the film Precious is the Micro issues that Precious faces in the movie. The movie does not directly describe all of Precious’s immediate family members but one can see

Throughout the movie Precious, there are several times when the audience witnesses trauma and its effect on Precious’ life. These traumatizing events include sexual abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and emotional abuse. When people go through these events, their mind will find ways to cope with their situation. These coping mechanisms are depersonalization, derealization, detachment, and dissociation.

The movie “Precious” detracted by Lee Daniels, is set in Harlem in the 1987. It is about an about an African American teenage girl named Clareence Precious Jones but she goes my Precious through the movie, who is played by Gabourey Sildibe. Precious is an overweight, illiterate, is a victim of incest, and who has two kids as a result of incest. Precious life has been very painful for her and difficult but the only way that she can escape her life is by day dreaming. Lee Daniels use daydreaming as a therapeutic coping mechanism throughout the movie. Lee Daniels shows us that there are four different seines that Precious use daydreaming to help her escape her mother, Mary (Mo’Nique), father, and other people that abuse her. The Anxiety, Panic and Health say that “Sigmund Freud, felt that only unfulfilled individuals created fantasies. That daydreaming and fantasy were early signs of mental illness.

In the film, Precious mom has a strong hatred towards her daughter causing a life full of emotional abuse for Precious. I myself, felt as though she was just upset with her all the time because they lived in poverty and it was hard on her

 Hope means to love. What is there for Precious to have a love for? Its evident that she doesn’t have love for her family, but she seems to care about school. She also has love for her unborn child. Though she probably doesn't love school, she is trying to do good not only for herself but for her child. She feels this obligation for the kid to be in a slightly better environment than her first child. This is shown in the scene when the social worker comes over for a home visit and it shows how the child is treated by Precious’ mother before and after the visit. Precious obviously can't say anything about the situation because she will get more than a rough talking.

On Tuesday February 16, 2016, Precious came in for her first individual counseling session. Precious reports her mother is verbally abusive about her weight and intelligence. Precious reported that her biological father is the father of her two children. Precious reports’ having her first baby on the kitchen floor while her mother was kicking

When I found out that Hope wasn't the main characters birth name, I was very surprised. From the very beginning of the story, you could tell she was a Hope and definitely not a Tulip. Hope's name was a great fit for her, not only because of the things she overcame, but also because of the way she held herself through those tough times. Her aura screamed hope. Hope held her head high through the worst times in her life, such as when Gleason Beal betrayed her and took off with all of her and Addie's money. Another rough spot in her life was not having a mom or dad. Hope had met her mom, Deena, a couple times, but she had no idea who her dad was. Throughout the book, she remained hopeful that her dad would come and swoop her off her feet and fix

The Hunger Games is a film about survival, and when survival seems impossible there is only one thing left to count on: hope. When Katniss takes her sister’s place in the murderous free-for-all known as the Hunger Games, her life changes, and not for the better. Suddenly, Katniss finds herself in a world where killing is the only way to survive. Luckily, she has help along the way. A casual observer of the film is likely to notice the presence of many mentors in Katniss’ story, but that observation becomes more important when it is combined with the importance and relevance of hope.

Hope is an essential psychological type of support, however, hoping for something unrealistic is referred as wasting time. Hopes can be entertaining and amusing that people sometimes get mesmerized and cannot control themselves. Since it is unrealistic, one will never achieve and these hopes will never occur in their lifetime. It is much better to face

Although after recognizing that I am a problem solver by using HOPE, I also am quite organized and I have a passion for learning and doing new things. I actually think learning and being able to use what I just learned is one of my talents. As far as doing new things I love a challenge. My sophomore year I quite play softball to pick up a whole new sport, lacrosse. I had no idea what I was doing, but I enjoyed the risk and now I’m very good at the sport. After adding in my talent of being able to learn new things and use them in that instant, I know that my passion for wanting to understand everything I come in contact with, could be used to my advantage. When I think at my super spot I see a combination of learning, using what I’ve learned

Moreover, hope is a word that holds high value in Christianity; so, I went to Bartleby.com to find a Bible verse. Once I found the verse I liked, I went to the New International Version Faith Alive Student Bible to see the verse in context. The verses I chose were Job 11: 17-20:

In the movie “ Precious “ by Lee Daniels, Gabourey Sidibe plays a sixteen years old, illiterate and overweight girl name Precious, who lives in Harlem, New York. She lives with her mother Mary Jones, who was entropic and abusive to her. The abuse and oppression was so traumatic for Precious, she would often dissociate herself from the situation and pretend to be someone else. Losing track of time, her situation and herself was her coping mechanism; throughout the movie it appeared that she would have these dreaming episodes where she would be another person in a much better situation. Precious become pregnant twice from her biological father, who had abandoned the family and infected both she and her mother with the HIV virus. She
