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

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

          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   

Film Festival

Did you enjoy the film festival? Why/why not?

Yes I enjoyed the film festival but I didn’t like seeing the same ones the whole day.

What film(s) did you like the best? Explain. The film I liked the best was the one were they interviewed people from city height because that video had more information than the other ones.

What film(s) did you like least? Explain. The tenth graders because you had to read the power points.

What do you think could be done to make the films better? Ad voice over to the tenth graders projects

What do you think could be done to make the film festival better? Have different ones every period

1.     What happens in this chapter? Sophie the main character gets letters that ask who she is and were does the world come from. Sophie also gets a letter from her dad but it’s not for her it is for some one else.

2.     What is a human being? What does it mean to be human? To be is not being perfect but learning from your mistakes. Having a heart and having a family.

3.     Would you be a different person if you had a different name? Explain. No because the name doesn’t matter what matters what is in the inside.

4.     Would you be a different person if you looked different? Explain. No because the appearance doesn’t matter but some people think it is important to look good so you can feel good.

5.     Is there life after death? How do you know you are right? because I believe in god and I think he is the truth and when we die we will go to heaven if we follow his teachings.

6.     Do you agree with Sophie that “You can’t experience being alive without realizing that you have to die.” (p. 5) Do you live your life differently because you know you will die someday? Explain. Yes you have to live life like it’s the last day. Say I love you to your loved ones every day and try hard everyday to be a better person.

7.     Where does the world come from? How do you know this? God made because that’s what it says in the bible.

8.     Does it matter where the world comes from? Yes because we have to know that god made the world.

9.     Can anything “have always existed?” or must everything that exists “has a beginning?” Explain. yes it must have a beginning because nothing just came up out of no were.

The most important question about the world is “Does god exists?” in my opinion god does exist because there is no way this world could be made by its self. There is a lot of people that had miracles made from god. I believe in god because he has helped my family live a good and safe life.
