Temple Grandin

at the college, Temple made a restraint for herself. Her room mate did not approve of this and

Temple Grandin The theme of death is a recurring idea in the movie Temple Grandin, as she witnesses and experiences many deaths throughout the story. In the beginning when she is attending Mountain Country School, she comes across a horse named Chestnut. She immediately took a liking to him even though at first he came off very aggressive and was thought of as dangerous by staff. Temple was able to calm him down so that she could get very close and even pet him.

Needless to say, I knew nothing about teaching... and felt truly horrible about it. I searched for help and support, reached out to other teachers, administrators, the district, the board of education. For the most part mild concern and no effective action was the common response. If it weren't for one wonderful teacher who took me under her wing, for no extra pay of course, I am sure I would have given up.

Temple Grandin is an inspiration to everyone, whether they work with animals or not, whether they have autism or not. She is an amazing woman with incredible and unique qualities. Her contributions to the world of working with livestock, and many other animals, has changed how the process of meat and other animal products works. Working through her own obstacles of being a woman born in the late 1940s with autism, she has paced the way for many people like herself to excel, and for animals to be cared for properly, even though they are being raised for slaughter.

In the Movie, Temple Grandin, Temple is portrayed as a very sensitive girl, even though she does not comprehend emotions she feels them. Christopher on the other hand is not as sensitive as Temple he is a much more rational kind of person. When Temple first graduated from high school she spent the summer with her aunt at a farm, while she was at the farm she had a very strong connection with the animals. When Temple would see the animals felt pain she would feel pain and unlike most people she actually felt she had to make a change, after that point she dedicated her intellect to animals and improving their living standards. Temple went through a lot of fighting with her professors in order to major in animal husbandry. Temple believed that “Nature is cruel, but we don’t have to be” Temple Grandin. Temple acknowledged the problems in the world and decided to solve them and that takes someone not only who preservers but someone who is conscious of their emotions and listens to them. Christopher is not at all like Temple in this sense,

Born in 1949, Temple Grandin was first diagnosed with brain damage at the age of three and then, at the age of five, labeled Autistic. Today Temple Grandin, self-labeled as a recovered autistic, is a well-respected doctor in animal science, a professor at Colorado State University, a bestselling author, an autism activist, and a leading consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. While it is easily argued that Temple Grandin’s life does not represent the norm for most children with autism, her autobiography, Emergence: Labeled Autistic (1986) offers a powerful picture of the influences and experiences that steered Temple through her journey ‘emerging’ from

Recently in one of my English classes we begin to study the importance of eating meat and treating animals. We started off with articles of different meanings but then we began to watch a movie named Temple Grandin which really caught my attention. Temple Grandin was very different than her fellow classmates and got made fun of constantly. She had, as the doctors said, Autism. Although she had a different type of Autism she still did what she wanted to do. Later in the movie she began to do some research and discovers something that she never saw before and what caught my attention. Cattle, as she saw, were “mooing” because of what seems that something is scaring them away from the farmers before being slaughtered. As she would say, “Nature is cruel but we don’t have to be”. She then created a system that made the cattle comfortable before being slaughtered. Grandin then began showing others and others about her system and became a star. Grandin believed that if these animals gave us food the best thing we can do is treat them with care. Which also came to my senses and made me believe in the same thing Temple Grandin believes in. Animals are killed for us everyday and we treat them very badly, which is very sad. If they are being killed for us then let's treat them with respect and use Temple Grandin system all over the world.

Temple Grandin: A Role Model for All “ My mother once told me, when you have to make a decision, imagine the person you want to become someday. Ask yourself, what would that person do?” As a result of this quote from Barry Deutsch, it becomes easy to realize how important role models are.

The movie “Temple Grandin” tells the story of a young autistic woman who did not let her disability define who she was and despite her disability, she earned a PHD in animal science. When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew that she was different. Years later, she was diagnosed with autism. While, Temple's doctor recommended a hospital, her mother believed in her. Temple went to school instead.

Comparison: Temple Grandin vs. Invictus The film Invictus tells the story of a divided nation and its president who tries to heal old wounds prevalent from decades of racial segregation by way of the apartheid laws in South Africa, and his relationship with the nation’s rugby team. The film Temple Grandin is about the life of a young woman of the same name, born with autism in a time when the condition was understood very little and respected even less so, and how she overcomes the obstacles of her situation to achieve incredible feats. Of the two movies we watched this semester, Temple Grandin and Invictus, both had excellent and inspiring stories, with underdog characters who overcome incredible odds. Both films inspired, and educated me

The film was engaging and thoroughly executed. The actors suited their roles, and played well. The theme in the film was educational and intriguing. Apart from some small flaws, the film was enjoyable. The circumstances around the film, as poor oxygen in the classroom and darkness, made it a little tiresome to watch, and therefore, the film seemed stretched out. In reflection, that impression was misplaced.

She became an animal scientist and a professor at the university. The protagonist, Temple Grandin, was able to explain and describe very skillfully how a person with this condition feels, hears, sees, perceives and thinks. She helps people peek inside the mind of a person with Asperger’s syndrome - which facilitates good communication and better understanding. She demonstrates the importance of pictures in the mind of autisitc people and how powerful their visual skills can be.

The film begins when Temple is stepping out an airplane and stops moving because she likes the heat from the weather is actual flames. Her aunt is trying to get her to come, since Temple is staying with her for the summer. One key event that happened is when Temple’s sign fell off her door. She has it there to know that is her door. Temple has a fear of walking through doors especially when she doesn’t know what’s on the other side. When Temple’s sign fell off she had a complete melt down. She was in a strange place, not knowing how to cope with it all. So she runs outside to what they use on the farm to calm cows down while they inject them. From that point on, that’s her new coping mechanism that makes her feel safe. Another key event is schooling. Schooling helped her think a little bit differently than others. She is very good at using her picture imaginary to come up with different ideas and using it to her advantage to make it successful. In the film the only thing I can see that they used to further the plot was the flashbacks.It ended with Temple walking up on stage to talk to people about autism and how parents can help

The director did a fantastic job writing this film. All of the points he wanted to get to the audience, I feel did. The actor, Sean Paul, did a wonderful job impersonating someone with a developmental disability. The director’s goal was to have people that were his targeted audience, try and think about what they take for granted and show that people need love and support just as much as anyone else that is important to them. People never know what other stories other people have and are going through. It is always nice to be kind and to be a supportive human being.

Overall I thought this was a really good movie. I thought it taught you a lot about diversity, women’s rights, poverty and peace. The movie was a very touching and inspiring movie; there is also a lot of emotion due to what they had to deal with on an everyday basis. To me the movie and their stories really teach you that you should be aware of your surroundings and to be helpful in your
