Who Defines you and your life?

Alice in Wonderland the movie was about a girl who kept having this weird dream about being in a different world with different people than she was used to being around. there was a point where she thought she was going crazy but her father told her all the best people were. As I thought about what he said I realized it was true in some way because those are the people who think outside the box and most of them achieve great things. Also, just because you think differently does not necessarily make you crazy, it just means you do not want to do what everyone else is doing.

Though I like what Alice's dad said to her, There was one line that stood out to me overall and that was the conversations between Alice and the dog where they are talking about her defeating the jabbawakii, he tell her she can not change the path and she replies "I make the path" meaning that it was her dream or her world therefore. no one was going to tell her what she was and was not going to do.

It was not only in wonderland that she decided that she was going to be the one to set her path. She also took charge when she came back, she told everyone that she was not going to get married and she decide that she wanted to follow her fathers footsteps and get involved in business. I really enjoyed Alice's character because she was on a journey to define who she was and what she wanted out of life, and towards the end she did once again she is a character that does not let society define who she is or what she is going to do.

My Anti-hero :)

Name: Steve

Villain: raquisha (Mr. Smarts ex-wife)

Master: His Advanced Calculus teacher Mr. Smarts

Setting: Present time

Plot: Steve is your typical high school nerd, he does not go out and is not a very social person. His idea of fun is staying home on weekends and doing homework. His favorite subject is calculus every Friday he hopes that his teacher Mr. Smarts, assigns lots of homework so he can have something "fun" to do over the weekend. Raquisha the evil villain is Mr. smarts ex-wife, who is furious because Mr. Smarts left her to pursue his interest in math. Raquisha's plan is to take over every school in the world and destroy math, but what she does not know is that Mr. Smarts trained Steve very well and he came up with an equation that would send her back in time to the dinosaur age.

Steve is an anti-hero becuase he is a scrawy short kid who is shy and does nott in with the rest of the students at his school. The only thing people think he is good for is homework, he is not confident in himself to try anything different that does not involve a book.

My new favortie movie!

As of last Friday How to Train Your Dragon is my new favorite movie, I rally enjoyed this move first of all because it is a cartoon and because of toothless. At first I thought this movie was going to be an OK movie but after watching it I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I really enjoyed the character Hiccup because he went about solving the problem a different way than everyone else. Now that I think of it, Hiccup was an anti-hero he was the opposite of all the other vikings, they were strong and big and he was small and scrawny. He did not let this get in his way because at the end of the day he was the one who saved everyone.

Though Hiccup was an amazing character my favorite was Toothless because he was adorable and funny. He made me wish I had a pet dragon and if I did I would totally name him chubby monster. He would also have pink rhinestones on the seat to ride him! :)
