The movie was a lot about a woman that survived the titanic and told her love story. I, myself, am a hopeless romantic. Her telling the story with her falling in love just made people want to watch the movie, but the real events that occurred and all of the children and families getting separated really makes me grateful for my family. The movie and learning more about the event that changed our society changed me and makes me think about how much we take for granted and how ungrateful we are. I think the titanic, the unsinkable ship, sinking got to people. Thinking back what if the titanic never sank?

In the short time of six and a half minutes the film .The movie successfully narrates of finding your own path while listening to your elders. It clearly depicts that being different brings out the best in people. This is especially evident towards the end when the boy solves a problem on his own proving to his father and grandfather that there is more than one right way to do something.

Even though there was no dialogue I was caught up in the animation and the emotions that are

My reflections after viewing this film, moved towards thinking about our current situation of not allowing people of the LGBT community get married. The opinions and bigotry that are still instilled in our society. For those that say that we have moved past our prejudiced views as a society in the United States; I would say that they are wrong. The Loving story was significant in so many ways towards moving our world into a better place for all. The education and consciousness of accepting all people will be key in future of struggle for equality in this country and around the
Unfortunately, her father expected her to go to college and earn a degree like her brother Sheldon and sister Bunny. Toni, unlike her siblings, did poor while she was at UH Manoa and had to move back home to Hilo. Her father Harry was extremely disappointed and no longer had high hopes for her. When she moved back, her sexual encounters with family friends Wyatt and Maverick Santos grew and she became closer with longtime Haole family friend Billy who was six years younger than her. Her relationship with Billy blossomed into mutual feelings for one another; however, Toni refused to take it to the next level due to the fact that Billy was younger than her, a Haole, and was considered as family. As months past, Toni found herself pregnant from either one of the Santos brothers with her family deeply ashamed by her actions. She did not finish college, was not married, and now she was pregnant. When her baby was born, things started to slowly change for Toni. Her baby became the joy of her life and her father’s new found joy and hope that had once died when Toni did not meet his expectations. Toni later became the co-owner of her father’s business and finally felt accepted into her own family and community. Toni’s experiences is indeed also reflective of our highs and lows in life and is something that most, if not all of society can relate to.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

Rita asked him if that was what Lucy had said and he said, “No. I just know she does not need me.” When Rita said that that was the first stupid thing she ever heard him say, Sam’s facial expressions showed that he was very upset, depressed, and frustrated. Rita told Sam that he could get Lucy back, but he has to fight for her. Sam started yelling because he was so upset and frustrated and he said, “But I tried! I try and I tried hard!” Rita told him to try harder and he said, “But you do not know! You do not know! You do not know what it is like when you try, you try, you try, you try, and you do not ever get there! Because you were born perfect and I was born like this and you were born perfect! People like you do not know! People like you do not know what it is like to get hurt! People like you do not have feelings! People like you don’t feel anything!” Rita’s facial expressions at this point show that she is offended,
After working on the "They say I say" project and thinking back on it I would give myself a basic on almost all accounts. The presentations my group and I gave was awful and obviously unpracticed. The PowerPoint wasn't even finished and it was obvious my group and I didn't fully understand chapter 6"Skeptics may object" or any of the other chapters. The only good thing my group and I even did decently was referencing the other chapters prior to chapter 6"Skeptics may object"and providing an example for chapter 6. Looking back on it now, I accept the grade I got and the grade I have now because simply put I deserve it. I know I could've done better if I had put more time and effort into my presentation and PowerPoint and that if I want to pass
