Akeelah and the bee



As for me, this story contains lots of issues to be deal with. How important a support from family members. We could see how Akeelah deal with her problem when her mother didn't allow her to participate the spelling bee contest at the higher level. She got full support from her brother, friends and teachers. As an adult, we should not get our personal matter involved in every single things especially in dealing with people interest and passion. From my understanding, her mother doesn't want Akeelah to get involve because it makes her remembered her late husband, Akeelah father. But for Akeelah, she wanted to do the bee to fulfill her father dream to see she become the champion one day. We could see the differences of level of thinking between a mother and daughter. What they need is that sit down together, talk about it and automatically solve it. This film also teach me not to easily gave up on students. As a future teacher, i should probably know how to deal with every certain circumstances. I must know the strategies to be applied for the students to excel and succeed. We could see how Dr. Larabee approach in preparing Akeelah for the bee. How he manage to inspire Akeelah and make her to train harder. This story is a good entertainment for all ages not only for the kids but also important to the adults. The messages that the writer trying to convey are very good and we could see it form the beginning till the end of this movie. One more thing that i learn from this movie is that, we should give full support and make them happy but not put pressure on them. The picture below shows how the father put the pressure to his son. That boy was really impressive and brilliant but the problem that made him cannot succeed is the pressure he received. We should make people feel happy for something that they did. When they feel better, definitely they will succeed no matter how hard the competition will be.
