Free-writing 2: Family

This movie also shows us the important family is. I feel the importance of it every day!

I am a only child, so I think I have a strong tie with my parents especially. I do not have any brother or sister, but I have parents, who know me, listen to me, give advice to me, spend a good time with me! I really appreciate!

Actually, however, I have been thinking lately that I have to become independent gradually. To be honest, it is not easy, I think. But I can be secure, because they must keep their eyes on me.

I have never doubted their love to me, and I know I am a very happy girl!

Free-writing1: humor

This movie shows us how important the humor is!

I felt the father's aggressiveness although he was so sad when his wife decided to get a divorce from him actually. He has a great humor before the divorce, but he could stay positive even after that. I think he could do that, because of his humor!

It is important for us too in order to face difficulties, enrich our life, and cope with stress.I think I am too serious in many cases and feel stress which is not needed, so I find the importance of cultivating humor. I got an encouragement from this movie!

Movie: Mrs.Doubt!

I watched a movie, "Mrs. Doubt" with my friends in our library last Friday. It was a little funny but impressive. I had thought it much funnier before I watched it, but it was so impressive in that it shows the father's love to his children. He did every thing he can do, and he seems to be odd, even strange.

I think this movie emphasizes the love in a family. It is because he himself said that as long as there is love, they are connected, in the movie. The parents do all things for children without regard to themselves. I feel that in case of my parents too.

It is really regrettable that he and his wife divorced. Except for that, this movie is really heartwarming.
