MOVIE TITLE: LIKE STARS ON EARTH

Plot Summary

Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old child whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class. When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to 'be disciplined'. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family. One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of 'how things are done' by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself.

Guide Questions:

1. What life lessons can be learned from the movie?

Like stars on earth brings a good message about education. The content of the film only turns around a boy named Ishaan Awasthy has trouble in reading and writing. He is thought to be such a stupid boy that his family has to send him to a special school. However, his life was really changed when he met a good teacher art and get his helping. The film seems to expand a new aspect of teaching children It is better for us to find out the strength and weakness of children , then create various activities to encourage them to develop it Each child has their own talent, so we should try to discover their strength and weakness order to help them recognize their real ability. The young teacher in the film spent a lot of time to understand why Isshaan can’t learn well like his friend. He decided to make a trip to go to the home of the boy and asked his family to provide some information about the studying of a boy. Actually, he was amazing when he saw the picture of Ishaan as well as his problem. After that, he has tried to look for easiest ways to help Ishaan to read and write. He combined between studying and playing through these activities relating to imagine. Teacher should develop children’ strength by various activities. In the film “Like stars on the earth” the young teacher always holds many activities to stimulate children to learn such as drawing, camping and so on. He knew that Ishaan is good at drawing, so he decided to organize a drawing competition for all students and teacher in the school. Luckiy, Ishaan won the first prize. Gradually, the result of Ishaan is better than he was. Finally, he becomes the excellent student in the school. Therefore, both teacher and his family felt emotional for the effort of Ishaan and the enthusiasms of teacher In short, teacher and family should need to know what their children want and wish. We can’t use all the same ways for each child. Each child posses a kind of intelligence, so parent needs to try to discover the strength of children instead of obligating. Let try to understand their emotion and realize children’s ability. Education really needs to have enthusiastic teachers and oblige to change if necessary.

2. What part of the story told by the movie was the most powerful? Why?

An art teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh teaches at a local boarding school and thinks that every child is special and must have his chance of enjoying his/her school days, so he breaks all the rules of 'how things are done' in the school to let his motives became successful, all the children respond to him with joy, all except a small boy named Ishaan Awasthi, of eight years old who seem to be in a different world all the time. Nikumbh soon finds out that Ishaan is unhappy about something. He attempts to help him. The questions remain will he be successful or will the errant prove dangerous for him.

3. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Why?

My favorite character is teacher Ram Nikumbh. When he enters the scene, everything changes. He comes in with music and play; he doesn’t act as any other teacher in the school. He notices Ishaan and sets out to find what is troubling the boy. He discovers what Ishaan’s parents and teachers have missed – all the boy’s mistakes and shortcomings have a pattern. Nikumbh concludes that Ishaan is dyslexic, and admits he has the same problem. He starts helping the boy to overcome his disability, meanwhile unleashing his amazing artistic potential.

4. Did anything that happened in the movie remind you of something that has occurred in your own life or that you have seen occur to others?

When I was Grade schooler, I have a classmate who was slow in catching up in school, his parents and some of his teachers labeled him as lazy, dumb, stupid, and any other harsh adjectives that can be associated with his poor performance in school. But amidst his poor academic state, he stands with a gift. He has the gift of imagination, which allows him to see a world that is completely different from the world seen by ordinary people. Sadly, his parents and some of his teachers did not see the other side of the cookie, the other side of my classmate’s talent. Teachers should not dismiss a person because they are not performing at the same level as everyone else. As we all know, every child has individual differences. Look for the underlying cause and work for it.

Movie #2 : The Lion King

Plot Summary

The Lion King is a 1994 board book adaptation of the movie of the same name produced by Disney Animation. Written by Don Ferguson, it is a narrated and illustrated retelling of the coming of age of Simba, a young lion, as he overcomes the death of his father and ousting from his pride which rules the Pride Land, a kingdom of animals in Africa. Simba ultimately regains his rightful place as king of the pride, and in doing so, restores the kingdom’s natural order, referred to in the animals’ shared vocabulary as the “circle of life.” The novel begins in the Pride Lands, an area in Kenya, Africa ruled by a pride of lions. Its leader, King Mufasa, who rules benevolently from his home, Pride Rock, attends the presentation of his newborn son, Simba, to the assembly of animals that make up the kingdom. His advisor and shaman, a baboon named Rafiki, hoists young Simba into the air atop a rocky pinnacle, and the animals cheer. Mufasa waves his hand across the land, explaining that Simba will be responsible for it once he becomes king. He also explains the “circle of life,” the sacred relationship between birth and death that connects all living creatures. As Simba comes of age, Mufasa’s younger brother, Scar, seeks to usurp the throne. Scar plans to kill Mufasa and Simba. He lures Simba and his best friend and future wife and queen of the pride, the young lioness Nala, to explore a dangerous elephant graveyard. There, a trio of spotted hyenas loyal to Scar ambushes them. Mufasa, learning about the ambush from his messenger hornbill Zazu, rushes to rescue the cubs. Though Mufasa is angry with Simba, he forgives him, taking him to a field and explaining that the kings of the past watch from the stars, just as he will one day watch over the prides of Africa. After his failed attempt to kill Simba, Scar lures him and Mufasa into a ravine where his hyenas cause a stampede of wildebeest, hoping to have them trampled. Scar lures Simba first and then, notifies Mufasa of Simba’s danger. Mufasa rushes to save Simba again but is left hanging on the edge of the ravine. Scar approaches and, instead of saving him, throws him into the ravine, where he dies. Scar convinces Simba that Mufasa’s death was his own fault, telling him to leave the kingdom. After Simba flees with the hyenas in pursuit, Scar tells the rest of the pride that the wildebeest killed both Mufasa and his son, Simba. He becomes the new king, allowing his previously excommunicated hyenas and their pack to come live in the Pride Lands. Simba, exhausted in the desert, is rescued by a meerkat and a warthog, Timon and Pumbaa. He grows up with them in the jungle, learning to create a carefree life and adopting a new motto, “Hakuna Matata,” meaning “no worries.” One day, a hungry lioness comes to hunt Timon and Pumbaa. Simba intercepts her, discovering that she is Nala. They fall back in love and Nala tells him to come home, conveying that the Pride Lands have fallen into drought and despair. Simba refuses and runs away, unwilling to cope with returning to the site of his father’s death. He finds Rafiki, who says that Mufasa is still alive in Simba. Mufasa’s spirit appears in the stars, telling Simba that he must live on as king. Simba is convinced to return home. Simba covertly returns to Pride Rock, confronting Scar. Scar tries to exploit Simba’s insecurity about his role in Mufasa’s death, backing him to the edge of Pride Rock. There, he reveals that he killed Mufasa. Overcome with anger, Simba throws himself onto Scar, pinning him down. He forces Scar to announce the truth to the pride. His friends Timon and Pumbaa, along with Rafiki, Zazu, and the lionesses, fight off the hyenas while Scar tries to escape. Simba corners him, and Scar begs for mercy, offering to betray his hyenas. Simba agrees on the condition that Scar is banished from the Pride Lands. Scar tries to attack again, and Simba throws him from the rock. He survives the fall but is killed by the hyenas who overheard his betrayal. Rain begins to fall as Simba regains the kingship, and life comes back to the Pride Lands. The book concludes as Rafiki holds up Simba and Nala’s new cub to the assembly of animals, repeating the circle of life. A classic coming of age story, The Lion King incorporates the symbolism of the animal kingdom and its natural hierarchical structure to present the struggle of its protagonist as a return to his inherited home, family, and throne.

1. What life lessons can be learned from the movie?

You must forgive yourself.

Simba lives his entire life feeling sorry for himself and blames himself for the death of his father. First of all, it wasn’t his fault. Second of all, it doesn’t solve any problem or make anything better by feeling sorry for yourself. Had he forgiven himself he would have had more confidence and more clarity of what to do in life.

I think people often let a past mistake hold them back, too. Did you screw up a relationship or cause somebody to get hurt or fired from work? What’s in the past, is in the past. As Pumba would say, “you gotta put your past in your behind”.

Running away doesn’t solve your problems.

Suppress it, hide it, or lie to everyone else, but it’s not going to do anything positive for you. Simba spends most of his life living in fear. He’s scared. He didn’t forgive himself and he was scared to go back and challenge Scar. Once he did, he admits what he had done, challenges Scar face-to-face and ends up victorious.

Some people spend their entire life running away, trying to escape their problems and fears. When in reality, if you face the problem you have today, you’ll realize that it’s not as scary as you think, and then the rest of your life can be that much better.

2. What part of the story told by the movie was the most powerful? Why?

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

When Rafiki takes Simba to a pond and tells him to look into it, we see a very special and powerful moment. He sees Mufasa's reflection that tells him "Remember who you are. You are my son, and the one true king. Remember who you are."

It's one of my favorites as it is the key turning point in the film.

3. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Why?

Mufasa Mufasa is a major character in Disney's 1994 animated feature film, The Lion King. He is Simba's father, Sarabi's mate, Scar's older brother, and was King of the Pride Lands until his death. I feel like all three Lion King movies are centered around Mufasa, his ways of life, his teachings and his ideals.

4. Did anything that happened in the movie remind you of something that has occurred in your own life or that you have seen occur to others?

Simba made every effort to forget who he was. He felt so guilty for something he didn’t do that he tried to run away from his true identity. He was a king but he didn’t act like one. He could have been living with the authority and power that comes with being a lion king, but instead he lived a different life. He didn’t realize that he was a lion and had a royal position to fulfill.

So many times we as Christians can relate to Simba. Sin can make us feel guilty and ashamed. A dark past makes us want to run away far away. A bad experience will lead us to isolate ourselves in a cave. And problems will overwhelm us to the point of not wanting to continue moving forward. When we allow these things to bring us down, we slowly forget about our true identity. We forget that we were born with a God-given destiny.

Just like Simba was eventually reminded of his purpose, so too does God remind us of ours. The Bible says that God knew us before we were in our mother’s womb. It says that He knows the number of hairs on our head and knows the words in our mouth before we even speak them. It also says that He has plans for us.

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. – Luke 12:7

Movie#3: Inside Out

Plot Summary

Inside Out is a film about an 11 year old girl named Riley who moves across the country from Minnesota to San Francisco with her parents. Riley experiences a transformation in her mind and in who she is as a person as she tries to adjust to her new life in San Francisco and to the difficult process of growing up. The viewer follows Riley’s five emotions, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust, on a journey in her mind to help her through her transition to adolescence, and to assist her in making what they think are the right decisions.

Pete Docter, the film's director, worked for Pixar Animation Studios for many years before directing Inside Out. He has directed other well-known Pixar films such as Monsters Inc. and Up, in addition to many other Pixar "shorts." Docter has been a voice actor in various Pixar films, as well as being a writer for many Pixar films. At the time of creating the film, Docter's daughter was 11 years old and was the inspiration for the character of Riley.

By making Riley a gender-neutral character and using important turning points in her life, Pete Docter is able to teach members of every demographic that an important aspect of growing up is understanding the memories that create our personalities.

1. What life lessons can be learned from the movie?

Happiness is not just about joy. When the film begins, the emotion of Joy—personified by a manic pixie-type with the voice of Amy Poehler—helms the controls inside Riley’s mind; her overarching goal is to make sure that Riley is always happy. But by the end of the film, Joy—like Riley, and the audience—learns that there is much, much more to being happy than boundless positivity. In fact, in the film’s final chapter, when Joy cedes control to some of her fellow emotions, particularly Sadness, Riley seems to achieve a deeper form of happiness.

Sadness is vital to our well-being. Early in the film, Joy admits that she doesn’t understand what Sadness is for or why it’s in Riley’s head. She’s not alone. At one time or another, many of us have probably wondered what purpose sadness serves in our lives.

Mindfully embrace—rather than suppress—tough emotions. At one point, Joy attempts to prevent Sadness from having any influence on Riley’s psyche by drawing a small “circle of Sadness” in chalk and instructing Sadness to stay within it. It’s a funny moment, but psychologists will recognize that Joy is engaging in a risky behavior called “emotional suppression”—an emotion-regulation strategy that has been found to lead to anxiety and depression, especially amongst teenager whose grasp of their own emotions is still developing. Sure enough, trying to contain Sadness and deny her a role in the action ultimately backfires for Joy, and for Riley.

Later in the film, when Bing Bong loses his wagon (the scene described above), Joy tries to get him to “cognitively reappraise” the situation, meaning that she encourages him to reinterpret what this loss means for him—in this case, by trying to shift his emotional response toward the positive. Cognitive reappraisal is a strategy that has historically been considered the most effective way to regulate emotions. But even this method of emotion regulation is not always the best approach, as researchers have found that it can sometimes increase rather than decrease depression, depending on the situation.

2. What part of the story told by the movie was the most powerful? Why?

Bing Bong Scenes

The tragedy of Bing Bong. Voiced by Richard Kind, Bing Bong is a purple elephant who was Riley’s imaginary friend when she was little, and he obviously has the power to fly to space, which they frequently did in a wagon. Throughout the whole movie, Bing Bong is worried that Riley doesn’t need him anymore since she’s growing up.

It all culminates in devastation. He and Joy (Amy Poehler) are stuck in a pit, desperately needing to get back to headquarters so Joy can take over Riley’s mind and make her feel happy again. So Bing Bong and Joy hop in the aforementioned wagon as Bing Bong tries to use his magical flying powers to get them out of a pit.

They can’t quite make it — and then Bing Bong gets a sad, knowing look on his face. He urges Joy to try again, and as the wagon takes a flying leap, Bing Bong barrel rolls out of the wagon, and it’s light enough that Joy is able to make it out of the pit. Joy looks back in horror as Bing Bong starts to physically disappear, knowing that he needs to sacrifice himself so that Riley can be happy. After all, she was his best friend.

3. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Why?

Joy, because boundless energy and a thirst for happiness define Joy. In her world, every day should be an amazing day, and there is always an upside to every obstacle. For Joy, problems are a pleasure because they give her something to solve, and sadness is a burden best pushed out of sight. You share Joy's zest for life. Everyday is a new adventure in your life, and you have no time to dwell on hardships. You have a larger than life, unstoppable personality and if you are not careful you can take other people's feelings for granted without realizing it. Your happiness is contagious though, and being around you is... well, a joy.

4. Did anything that happened in the movie remind you of something that has occurred in your own life or that you have seen occur to others?

Inside Out’s application to actual life has endless possibilities.

One of the hardest things for spectrum kids to grasp and communicate is the complexity of emotion. For instance, it took me watching the movie multiple times to realize that Joy didn’t have to be just joy, nor did Sadness have to mean just sadness, and so on down the line. By the end, we learn that memory is only monochromatic (and therefore only ruled by one emotion) when we are kids. As we get older, just as in life, our emotions begin to be a mix of different things. Moments of joy that make us cry, or being mad at how scared you got. Or even depression.

“Sadness is driving me today,” Is such a simple thing to say compared to sitting there torturing yourself over why you’re feeling this thing and what it’s doing there and how to make it go away. It’s much easier to visualize the complexity inside your mind as a console full of brightly colored figures, much easier especially to put a name to what you’re feeling.

As people get older, their emotions get more complex. Joyful memories of childhood become tinged with loss and nostalgia. The recognition that life is short and goes by fast introduces a sorrowful note into even our happiest moments, as we remember that they are going to end. But even so, you may find that a little sadness actually deepens your appreciation for and experience of joy.

Upgrading Your online Gaming Setup With Netgear Hardware: Is It worth It?

Over the remaining 12 months, I’ve been seeking to vastly improve my on-line gaming setup. It’s not that my normal connection speeds have been principally sluggish or my far off interactions notably laggy. Multiplayer suits of Overwatch and Sea of Thieves ran well satisfactory, and most game downloads chugged along at a more than ideal pace unless i was on the pscommunity—why the insistent facts cap, Sony?.

https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef526f65ac49db4546a28285817d2c28?s=400&d=mm&r=g

but right here’s the element: For a small whereas, i used to be paying for 250Mbps internet carrier and under no circumstances even getting close to that marketed speed. Most connection checks petered out at a measly 140Mbps, which isn’t the rest to scoff at, however I wasn’t getting what i used to be buying. After coping with that minor frustration, I knocked my plan down to 150Mbps and, to be quite sincere, nothing really changed. pace exams still stated a max of round 140Mbps.

bottom line was this: I simply knew that my hardware become distinctly old-fashioned and that definite improvements may be made that could trade my web journey for the improved, so I reached out to Netgear in an try and try a few of their more pleasing gaming-connected products. They have been form ample to send over three compelling items of hardware, and what follows is my sincere experience with each gadget.

CM1000 ultra-high pace Cable Modem MSRP $169.ninety nine

As i mentioned above, I’ve been getting around 140Mbps down load and 6Mbps add on a comparatively out of date Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 modem. I think I’ve been the usage of that equal piece of hardware for round 10 years now, give or win, so I’d say I’m due for an improve. Enter Netgear’s DOCSIS three.1 beast, and what the container reproduction dubs as supplying the “World’s quickest Cable cyber web” at “up to 6Gbps downstream and 1.8Gbps upstream”. if you’re unusual with what DOCSIS 3.1 is, right here’s a good video describing the expertise. In a nutshell, it’s an up-to-date protocol that makes it possible for for fiber-caliber internet speeds over current cable web infrastructure. Granted, your web provider company must present that form of lightspeed option, and then you obviously deserve to be buying observed speed.

That observed, I’m not currently deciding to buy gigabit information superhighway I hope!, so i will’t verify that selected tier of service on this new modem, regrettably. however after tinkering around with things, what i will be able to say is that, strictly out of the container, the device in reality seems to have more suitable my network circumstance vastly. without even touching my historical router, I readily swapped out my SURFboard modem with the sparkling CM1000, had the cable business prompt it, and rapidly administered a wired ethernet velocity check. With simply the modem exchange on my own, my clocked speed went from 140Mbps to round 180Mbps—glorious damn amazing. upload velocity nevertheless hovered surprisingly low, around 6Mbps, although I believe that’s extra of an argument with my widespread carrier enviornment.

The CM1000 enables for some seriously quick cable internet speeds.credit: Netgear

since setting up, the CM1000 has delivered constant connection and speeds without any need to be rebooted, all while staying generally cool to the contact. For journalistic applications, I bumped my provider tier back up as much as 250Mbps simply to see how the modem would react, and now I’m getting a whopping 300Mbps ! down load. The upload speed doubled marginally to around 12Mbps, which I’ve read is more than sufficient for many high best gameplay streaming. I’d say this is all a whole lot proof that Netgear’s hardware will enhance whatever speeds you’re at present buying.

So the question becomes here: Does the average gamer want this cable modem? It pains me to claim it, however likely no longer. which you could fully nonetheless get by with more run-of-the-mill hardware, principally in case you’re simplest purchasing reduce-tier information superhighway speeds. but if you’ve got Xfinity from either Cox or Comcast and need to supercharge your reference to newer gigabit web which you’ll want the covered DOCSIS three.1 to enable, or if you’re comfortably seeking to future-proof your growing older domestic network, I’d wager it’s worth the a bit high asking expense. The CM1000 is in fact the caviar of cable modems: A tasty luxury.

XR500 Nighthawk pro Gaming Router MSRP $299.99

I need to say that my trusty Netgear Nighthawk R7000 has treated me well through the years, and honestly, it’s no shabby router by using any stretch of the creativeness: A sleek design, three adjustable antenna with outstanding wifi signal power and a number of average firmware updates left little or no to whinge about. but now that I’ve tried Netgear’s personal Nighthawk professional Gaming XR500, it’d be basically difficult to move returned, as I feel like I’ve graduated to the networking big leagues.

The Nighthawk seasoned Gaming router has the entire commonplace instant community elements we’ve all come to predict, together with 2.4GHz, 2.5GHz and guest networks. There’s even a wise connect feature that unifies and intelligently kinds all incoming machine connections beneath an single, automatic SSID really easy, basically. Don’t neglect Quad movement and MU-MIMO for faster all-round connections, and fancy beamforming know-how that gives added-sturdy instant indicators. also, there’s 4 antenna as a substitute of my ordinary three, which managed to increase my wireless connection speeds through about 20Mbps. Then there’s the extra gaming stuff, which is what makes the XR500 basically stand out.

Netgear’s XR500 is a extremely strong alternative for hardcore game enthusiasts.credit: Netgear

first off, the leading UI browser dashboard DumaOS lets you video display actually every little thing happening to your network in true time: familiar download undertaking, regular upload endeavor, ping, as smartly as the bandwidth usage of every related gadget. you can then go beyond that to the QoS, or exceptional of provider, and dictate which devices ideally gaming consoles or PCs get to make use of the most bandwidth at any given time. i will see this coming in effortless for gigantic families where online game enthusiasts should coexist with heavy-utilization Netflix and Hulu streamers. that you can additionally utilize the Geo-Filter, which draws up an international map that permits you to handle the distance of online connections to multiplayer servers with the intention to curb lag. It’s a very strong set of features that items some seriously customizable alternatives for dedicated gamers.

sure, it’s an expensive—and extreme, some would argue—networking accessory geared very nearly totally toward the hardcore gaming market, however I consider that it hits the bullseye in terms of what that demographic wishes. It’s additionally a brilliant choice for anyone who with no trouble wants more authority over their domestic network. It’s having finished company over the Handmaid’s tale binge occurring in the front room while Fornite and Overwatch rages upstairs, all whereas a person is looking at unique ASMR videos on YouTube within the basement and a relax-out Spotify combine plays in the backyard. My largest grievance is that it doesn’t feel adore it charges $300; i would have favored a pleasant metal casing as opposed to the inexpensive plastic Netgear selected to go together with. most likely it become for overheating motives.

SX10 Nighthawk pro Gaming switch MSRP $299.ninety nine

Rounding out the trio of top rate Netgear hardware is one severely costly networking swap. searching suspiciously just like the spaceship from ‘80s Disney sci-fi traditional Flight of the Navigator, the SX10 in contrast to the XR500 absolutely feels like an elegant piece of package in your arms. With most desirable metal housing, it weighs in at simply over three kilos, so we’re speakme particular doorstop material here. You understand, whatever thing that seems like it may without problems outlive the cockroaches. Such solid material may come throughout as overkill for some thing as functional as a switch, however I recognize the attention to element. Makes it more durable to accidentally tug the machine off a desk or enjoyment core.

included onboard are 2 10GMulti-Gig ethernet ports, eight 1G ethernet ports, a whole bunch of customizable RGB LEDs and a actual button to manually turn the lights on and off. like the Nighthawk pro Gaming router, the SX10 has a pretty in-depth interface that allows you to completely customize your community experience. you’ve got the energy to manage each and every of the ten ports, so the rest wired without delay to the swap is originate for bandwidth allocation. you can additionally alternate the hue of any LED mild to your liking, something exceptionally positive for making a choice on definite online game consoles or PCs at a look. take into account that one of those 10 ports is reserved for connection to a cable modem or router.

The SX10 has loads of ports and LEDs for complete customization.credit: Netgear

despite some salt-of-the-earth reliability, the SX10 is probably the hardest Netgear contraption to advocate by itself, and never only on account of the steep cost. It’s without doubt a top quality piece of hardware with a whole lot of options game enthusiasts eager about their wired ethernet have a whole lot to be excited about right here, nonetheless it feels tons more like an augmentation to the XR500 than any type of standalone product. That’s now not to claim you couldn’t use it fully independently of the aforementioned router and discover a ton of quality exercise. I’m with ease seeing the SX10 as an unbeatable associate piece to an already rocking XR500 setup. probably that’s nitpicky aesthetics, but there it’s. youngsters, in case you do deserve to extend your wired ethernet alternatives and decide to fork over the money for this sleek little manage box, you gained’t be dissatisfied, not the least bit.

Netgear supplied complimentary overview product for insurance applications.
