Movie review archetypes Moana 2

Archetypes in Moana 2 - A Film Review Moana 2 takes Vaiana on a new adventure, but now as the leader of Motunui. Along with Maui and new characters like Matangi, she faces challenges that test her growth. The film uses familiar archetypes but also flips them in interesting ways.  In Moana 2  Vaiana is now a confident leader, but she's still figuring out what it truly means to lead. She faces new obstacles, including the mysterious Matangi who challenges her role. The characters in this film represent classic archetypes, but with some twists. The Heroine: Moana Moana continues as the Heroine, but in this film, her journey is more about personal growth than fighting villains. She’s already the leader of her people, but now she struggles with self-doubt. This shift in her story makes her character feel more relatable, showing that even heroes need to overcome their own fears. The Mentor: Maui Maui is back as the Mentor, but this time, his role is more complicated. While he...

Icebreaker

I'm reading a novel called Icebreaker and so far i've read it, I really like it. It's happening stuff all the time and that's what makes me like it. The book is about a girl named Anastasia and a guy named Nathan, also called Stassie and Nate. Stassie is practicing figure skating and Nate plays Ice Hockey so that's how they got up their eyes for each other. She had a hard time growing up with a lot of pressure so she has a hard outside and isn't the girl that lets anyone close in a serious way. They start liking each other and Nate has a tough time coming close to Stassie because something always comes in the way.  I realized I really like this book after the first chapter. It caught my interest right away because things were happening all the time like I said before. That makes me not wanna stop reading, I just want to read more and more. It's a book that gets the reader right away and the plot is very good.  Podcast - conflict in literature Do you know wha...

Eight grade review

 Her being so unsure about herself makes me want to see more and what she is able to do. Briefly introduce the work (title, author, genre, and type—novel, film, poem, etc.). The film's name is Eighth Grade and is made by Bo Burnham. The genre is comedy, youthful and coming of age.  Clearly state your overall opinion or main point about the work (what you thought about it and why it's important or worth discussing). I think it was a good movie but it had some very awkward moments. It really shows the coming of age and the movie is important for people that are in the same situation. Present your first key point or argument (e.g., character development, theme, or plot). It was an awkward movie, a clear example was when she sucked on a banana to know how it would be in real life. Her dad comes in and that is not realistic because why would he always interrupt her when she’s doing weird things.  It was hard to watch because all I could do was laugh, it was just so embarrassi...
