Major Consequences In The Film Jim Carol

But it depicts that there's a lot of hidden truths and influences while growing up in the city. Jim Carroll was just steps away from addicts, gang violence, and prostitution. Many may view these things as impurities of the world but I believe that Jim Carroll was drawn to it. He was giving the option to participate in school and play basketball, who knows even go to college. But the evils of the influential world were luring him in. In my closed reading, I noticed that Jim Carroll’s motivation for doing half of the things he does is too fit in. Jim obsesses to embrace the teenage societal norm of rebelling. His friends not only strays him into the wrong path but they are ultimately, one of the reasons for his loss of innocence. However, throughout the novel he does refer to himself, as trying to hang on to what little innocence he has; “I’m just really a wise ass kid getting wiser and I'm going to get even somehow for you dumb hatreds and all them war baby dreams you left in my scarred bed with dreams of bombs falling above that cliff I’m hanging steady to.” (Carroll 159) This false perception of control and stability is the reason why Jim Carroll spirals out of control. His addiction to heroin not only changes every aspect of his life but it also slowly becomes the central focus of his

Requiem for a Dream offers a haunting glimpse into the life of addiction and drug abuse that the characters developed while try to escape

During this project, my class and I learned many examples of choices and consequences made by people throughout every day life. One specific character in the book, Erik Fisher, made choices that not only affected himself, but everyone around him negatively. Fortunately enough, as bad as these choices were; they did cause a few good outcomes.

21 year old Nic Sheff with an extended history of drug use has finally been sober for a little over a year but that soon changes. In and out of rehab centers and 12 step programs Nic began experimenting with drugs at quite a young age beginning with alcohol at age 11 closely followed by Marijuana at age 12. As Nic becomes older the drugs become more lethal from heroin to crystal meth. One day in the city of San Francisco Nic runs into an old friend, Lauren. Lauren and Nic soon follow that meet with a drug dealer named Gack and pick up a gram of crystal meth. What follows is a chaotic swirl of events.

Tommy’s rising music career takes him on the road and into the world of drugs. He eventually

The message of the movie is that there are people who are born into life circumstances, others chose life circumstances because they feel there are no other options and then decide they want out

The film shows how love controls people's lives, thoughts, and acts. A case in point is where we see Jimmy's daughter's love for Brendan makes her want to elope with him. Jimmy's love for his daughter makes him hate Brendan and also eventually makes him kill his childhood friend. Sean's love for Jimmy makes him protect Jimmy even after discovering he killed Dave. Brendan's little brother kills Jimmy's daughter because he believes she is taking Brendan away from him, and many other scenes that are brought forth in the

It also shows that on the road to living your best life, sometimes people or things can get left behind. Change is good, people have different goals, and even though it can hurt, sometimes you have to leave someone behind in order to move both of your lives forward. Although every character began with the same goal and only two actually reached it, each character’s ending felt fitting and fulfilling. There’s more than one path to happiness and success in life, and this movie showed it well.

The film is centered around one main idea: the characters tiptoeing around Norma Desmond’s mental illness. Though Norma has been out of the acting career for 20 years, her biggest dream is to make a comeback. She still considers herself a star, and believes her way of redeeming herself is by writing a film and starring in it. However, after hiring

The themes of escape, addiction, and sexuality in The Basketball Dairies are all intertwined. Jin Carroll first use of drugs was recreational. It was something to do to past the time and to be able to fit in with his friends. In fact, he was so immature and naïve about drugs that he thought marijuana was addictive and heroine was not. It did not take long for his addiction to manifest. Jim Carroll grew up in a difficult time of political and social upheaving. During the 1960’s, the Unites States at war with Vietnam, Russia (The Cold War), and also faced a nuclear threat from Cuba (The Cuban Missile Crisis). Civil unrest, disobedience, increased racial tension and riots also proceeded this era. Young Jim Carroll felt powerless and hopeless in his environment and resorted to drugs to escape his catastrophic reality. Jim stated, “You don’t feel guilty about not fighting a war or carrying signs to protest it either. We’ve just mastered the life of doing nothing, which when you think about it, may be the hardest thing of all to do” (Carroll pg. 128). Jim Carroll was internally wounded by the plague of war. He lived in a world of constant state of terror. To be able to adjust and cope with this reality drugs were his only choice. I believe that if he attempted to handle all of his problems without the use of drugs, the talented artist that he grew to become would have been extinguished.

Jim is a heavy drinker who beats both Anna and their children. Anna also takes after her husband and beats their children, which causes many problems for the household. One night Mazie follows her father into town at night where she meets a miner named Sheen McEvoy. Sheen tries to throw Mazie down the mine shaft. He is stopped by a night watchman in turn feel down himself to his death.

In conclusion, no one can really change their fate unless they have a minority report and have been told they were going to murder someone. The story has a really good message. The message is that if you could change your future would you. They are really great at showing this as their question for the world to decide. This is a great

Sports as always had an integral role in society and in life and general. It has the power to dominate people and influence people’s life in many ways. The movie allowed me to understand better that regardless of race or class people can unite when it comes to sports. Sports have a sort of power that demands respect because it can influence the live of the athletes as well as the spectators. In the movie the community don’t want Boone to coach there high school football teach because they just seem him as a black person and all black people are the same to them nothing, but good for nothing criminals. Later on they are cheering Coach Boone and celebrating with him on his achievements for taking the team to the state championship. It demonstrated

The Movie reminds me a lot about what we have learned in leadership class. Leigh Anne has been a top 80 by always putting Michael and her children before herself and wants to best in people. Michael always has positive leadership. He always has a good attitude about everything and never takes anything for granted. In class we have learned what leader qualities we pertain. People voted me as artistic and creative and in the movie Michael was protective and caring by showing respect to his teammates and family and protecting his players from their opponents so they can score points. Leigh Anne is a pusher and motivator because she pushed Michael to do things for himself and pushes her children to succeed in everything they do. Also we have learned

It showed the fear that the students and staff experienced everyday and evoked a sense of urgency for change. The emotion was undeniably powerful throughout the entire movie creating a wave of ups and downs that were often followed by tears of sadness and joy. This story showed that with faith, respect, and hard work children and teens are capable of accomplishing great things. I love that this movie is based on a true story it makes it feel so much more obtainable for the average person, it shows that anyone can make a difference if they really care and don't give up. Morgan freeman was an excellent choice for this roll, he has a strong scary side and a sweet loving side that make his character respected but approachable. Its believable that the student would be afraid of him but also would trust in him. I think that all students should see this movie at least once in their
