as we forgive

we went over ms laura house to watch the movie as we forgive. i really liked the movie because it shows even the people that has been hurt the most by others can still find it in there heart to forgive people. and that movie made me realize that i need to stop being so unforgiving. i would highly recommend the movie. the only thing i didn't like about it is that they was talking extremely fast and also the subtitles were also fast and you would have to close attention to the tv set!!!!

we watched war dance the movie

yesterday we watched war dance the movie and it toucheed my heart. half of the movie of about this school who was praticeing for a huge perforomance with 20 thousand other schools. this was the first time they ever performed in a compotition. the other half of the movie was about th e childrens lives and how they liveed and how they washed them selves and kept there selves clean and feed. my favorite part was when they won the compotion and it was there first time competing.

wardance was a enlightening movie!

i liked the movie wardance because it shows that life is not a fairytale and you should be thankful for what you have and live for the moment. my favorite person in the movie was nancy because she shows that you can overcome from lifes hardships and you can triumph if you have some morale left inside of you and hers was dancing.

War Dance

Yesterday we went to Ms. Laura's house to watch a movie call War Dance. In the movie "Northern Uganda has been at war with a rebel force for the past twenty years. The Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A), and the country's children has been the greatest victims of the conflict. But here, the children are not only victims of the rebels, they are the rebels. The L.R.A has a chillingly effective process to fill its rank - abducting innocent children. Children - young as five are ripped from their bed in front of their helpless parents. Once abducted, the children are forced at gunpoint to viciously beat or kill neighbor, and sometimes even their own parents. Each child has their own story. The Patongo Primary School students pour their into winning this year music competition." The movie touch me because each child has a story to tell how they saw their parents, sibles, and other relatives killed, and as they live on without their parents, they dance and sing for their future, and for their homeland. It was sad how they told their story on how they had to kill their parent or their parents killed in front of them. But its a great movie, to see how children dance and sang for the homeland and to win. You can look at the trail of the movie, the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2saj4gJ4Lvw
