Charles vs. Catherine

The difference between Charles and Catherine view on life and teaching is Catherine is more outside of the box. Catherine felt like life is precious and should be spent the right way, make everything count. She wanted to actually interact with the students, She cared about how they felt about her class. For example towards the beginning of the movie Catherine completely changed the syllabus that she first gave to the students. Her reasoning for this is because she wanted interaction from the students. Your at school to learn new things day by day not go over things that you already know. This is why she found different ways to teach, WITHOUT THE TEXTBOOK. She even took as far as showing them a painting that she painted herself when she was a child. She did this because she wanted to make them think, she wanted to stimulate their minds in every way possible. Catherine was also kind of a mentor to her students. She freely expressed how she felt about life, changing Betty's life for the good. While Charles was strictly about facts. He wanting nothing more or less then the textbook. He felt like everything else would be irrelevant to the students. Everything was strictly professional.

Fav theme

My favorite theme of the movie is to do exactly what makes you happy, no matter of how people will view you. You live your life for you and not anyone else. I think that is beneficial in many cases. For example when Jone decided to be a full time wife, she did that for her because that's all she wanted in life. OR when Betty got a divorce she did that because she knew if was the right thing for her as person. Despite of what her mom would think about it.

Mona Lisa Smile

I feel like the movie is going to start off with tension between the students and the teacher. This will be because they both have separate views on what their priorities should be in life. For the students they are worried about being married and living happily ever after, they will throw away their education  in order to make this possible. For the teacher she wants to show them they are too intelligent and talented for that to be the case. I feel like the story will end with meeting a mutual agreement about how they should see their future.

Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce Knowles was born September 4th 1981, she is a singer songwriter and actress. She is from Houston Tx. She is my second role model because she represents a positive figure for all women. She is successful, independent, attractive etc. I mainly look up to her success and the way she carries herself as a woman. She separates business and her personal life at all times, she knows how to keep everything in balance. She has also worked very hard to get to the place she is at now, due to that she has continued to stay on the right track. She basically did everything in her life the right way and look at her now.

colege vs. Highschool

Im in highschool and i usually study for exams the day of or the night before. However, I realized by doing this I only remember the information until after the test. But this seemed to work for me because it not that much information I had to memorize in a small amount of time. But this would not work in college, this is because college exams cover alot more material then high school exams. Thats why in college I will distribute my study time wisely instead of cramming the day before. Basically I have to be more responsible and less lazy.

Number One Role Model

My number one role model is my mother. She is the most uplifting and caring person in my life. There is not a day that goes by that I don't look up to her and say " I want to be like you when I grow up". The reason I feel this way is because everything she does, says, and owns is for me to be successful in life. She will always put me before herself and will take extra time out to make sure I'm okay and happy. In my eyes that's the real definition of a mother. I will always be grateful to have her and I hope I can do the same things she does for me, for my children.
