Famous People Fantasy

If I got to spend an afternoon with three famous people I would have to pick Jimmy Butler because he has come so far in his life from being homeless as a teenager due to his mom kicking him out and having to move from house to house until he finally settled and followed his dreams by playing basketball throughout high school and getting drafted to the Chicago Bulls in 2011. I would also pick Raven-Symone because she was the main character on my favorite 90s show That's So Raven and she's also very outspoken on her opinions about today's society. Lastly, I would choose Anthony Anderson because he is my favorite character in one of my favorite tv shows Black-ish. Although Anthony Anderson plays a forty year old father with a crude sense of humor. In real life he is actually really vocal about our world's issues.

If by some chance I did get to meet these three amazing people we would spend the afternoon at a restaurant of our choice sharing stories and experiences with each other.

Favorite Field Trip

The man wobbled over the edge of the chair, the last one in the stack that had the man’s head nearly meet the ceiling. He placed his hands over the edge and did a flawless handstand, he moved his legs around, and stopped, steady as a mountain. Half the audience was on the edge of their seats, eyes open intently, breathing heavily, the other half only looked through their fingers covering their faces, on the edge of their seats, not breathing, I thought he might fall and break every bone in his body, but, he didn’t, after a few tense minutes, which felt like hours, he stood and threw his hands in the air, the audience went wild, on their feet clapping wildly. Who is this man? What is he doing?

This man was one of the Acrobats at the Chinese Acrobats performance I went to in fifth grade. This field trip was by far my favorite because I got to watch an amazing group of people do an outstanding performance. I would definitely recommend this performance to somebody who has a taste for excitement!

Movie Review

Everyone loves movies. Whether it's a comedy, a chick flick, or full of action. Everybody has a type they enjoy. For my blog I'll be reviewing a film that goes deep into the struggles of an African American baseball player in the moving movie "42".


Synopsis:

In 1946, Jackie Robinson was a Negro League baseball player who never takes racism lying down. Branch Rickey is a Major League team executive with a bold idea. Rickey recruits Robinson to break the unspoken color line as the first modern African American Major League player. As both anticipate, this proves a major challenge for Robinson and his family as they endure unrelenting racist hostility on and off the field, from player and fan alike. As Jackie struggles against his nature to endure such abuse without complaint, he finds allies and hope where he least expects it.

Recommendation & Review:

If you are looking for a movie that with leave you seething one minute, but smiling in the end, this is the perfect movie for you. It will have your emotions riding a roller coaster from start to finish.
