Review For "Cars" The Movie


"Cars" is a movie made Disney Pixar. Its a story about a up and coming race car Lighting McQueen and how a little town called radiator springs changes his whole live. What Disney did well was they made it an animation film so little kids would like it. They also put many different lessons in it as well. The single most important lesson that anyone can take from this movie is the importance of team work. In the begging Lighting McQueen is a winner and thinks that winning is the key to life. In the of the movie he considers that winning isn't everything and loses the race to help out another car. Another great lesson is doing the right thing can be rewarding. This movie is worth watching over and over again just so you can get all the lessons from this wonderful movie. The movie has nothing in it to complain about. In the end when he gives up the cup they show Chuck getting the cup but no one is paying attention to him cause he was selfish. It just proves the fact of the lessons that they really did work. Everyone should watch this movie no questions asked. It's just the best movie ever.

The Lack Of Concern Brings Danger

In the story the "Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is telling a story that starts to seem very happy. A perfect community where everyone knows everyone. In the end of the story Jackson twists it. Talking about a box and how you pick out a piece of paper making every reader think they are picking lottery tickets out. When it gets twisted it turns out that the little paper you pick out is actually the worst thing you could ever imagine if it has a little dot on it. In the end the family that had the paper with a dot on it would lose a family member by everyone in this perfect community by stoning the mother to death. During the Holocaust Hitler had killed millions of Jews just because they didn't have blond hair and blue eyes and thought they were parasites. Which was the master race he wanted to create. Hitler killed millions of people for no reason as did the people in the lottery did as well.

Perception is everything


The Polar Bear Swim: Its completely different for a guy then a girl to go swimming. They guys have to throw on a pair of shorts and just go. A girl has to wear a bathing suit but they also have to think "Am I tanned enough?" "Am I skinny enough?" "Do I look good?" The guys don't have to worry about that. Guys in everyday life have it way easier then a girl does. Girls seem to always have to have the perfect body and perfect face just to get a guy to recognize her. Guys think that if you play a sport you should be skinny and fit. Truth is no one is what you think. The girl that might be a little bit bigger then the models you see are probably the nicest people you will ever meet. Perception is everything in the real world when it really shouldn't be. The way you see the world will be completely different from anyone else you know or don't know.
