WristCutters Reading Journal

 

The movie is about a guy named Zia and he kills himself and he doesn’t go to hell or heave he goes to another world. There he finds out his ex girl also killed her self so he started looking for her but he met another girl and they fell in love. The girl was there for accident she didn’t kill her self. Both came back to life at the end.

 

1. Why did they let Zia back to life? Because they knew he was in love with the girl that also went back to life.
2. Why don’t they go to hell? I think it is because god wants to give them another chance of being a different

I actually really recommend the movie because it really shows why people kill them selves.

 

Is there a purpose to life? I think the purpose of life is to live life how god says in the bible.

 

What happens when we die? When we die I think if we followed gods way we go to heaven and if we chose the wrong way we go to hell.

Fate Vs Free Will

FATE vs. FREE WILL

 

I think my life is controlled by a little of both faith and free will. I think this because god already knows what is going too happened and what your choices are he knows what is going too happened every day of your life. I also think free will is part of it because you choose what you want to do in life and you chose your decisions.

Reflection on a meaningful Experience

Reflection on a Meaningful Experience

 

          A meaningful experience was when I joined the AOIT. I had always struggled in school and I never did anything to improve. When I joined the AOIT my life changed because I matured more in school and paid more attention to my teachers.

            First, middle school I had bad grades I goofed around with my friend and really didn’t care about school. I always struggled to do the right thing and do my best. Even doe I tried really hard I never succeeded in anything important. I was immature and still a kid because I never had anyone to support me only my mom she was the one who always showed me to do the right thing but she always had to work up to 3 jobs a day. My freshman year in high school was really bad because I failed most of my classes and almost got no credits. I always played around in class and still was acting like a kid was still acting like I was in middle school. Everything changed when a friend told me to join the AOIT.

            Second, when I joined the AOIT my life changed. The teachers were always helping me. It was better because
