Character Development (Limitless)

Limitless is a movie about a drug called NZT. The most important character development was the character Eddie. He went through a number of developments as a person. One of the most important scenes is the first time he takes NZT. He cleans up his place and his act. He gets a hair cut, new clothes, and most importantly he finishes his book he has been working on for a long time.

The NZT is both good and bad for Eddie. It changes Eddie for the good so he can take back control of his life again. But its also bad for him because in makes him black out then it makes him sick when he tries to stop taking it. The drug is a big part of the character development because it gives Eddie a chance to change. At the end of the film he makes the drug perfect so he only has to take it once and hes good forever. He's then free to do anything he wants and succeed at it.

Character Example

Sheldon Cooper

It is revealed that Sheldon is able to forgive. The background information is that Sheldon's best friend and roommate, Leonard, is invited to a party by his enemy Will Wheaton. Sheldon and Will are enemies because Will Wheaton didn't go to a science fiction convention that Sheldon was going to get his autograph. Thought the episode Sheldon threats Leonard about his decision to go to the party. He says that they will not be friends anymore if Leonard goes to the party. At the end of the episode Leonard ends up going to the party despite Sheldons attempts to stop him. After Sheldon ends up at Will's party, Will gives Sheldon his autograph. Sheldon then forgives him and they become friends. This scene is important because it not only shows how Sheldon can forgive but how will Wheaton righted his wrong that he never forgot about.

Character Development

1. I watched Fast Five and found the characters particularly interesting. All the characters had individual lives but when one needed there help they stepped up and helped. Also they never stopped trying and never gave up for their family. They were portrayed by how good they are to their friends and family.

2. The creator developed the characters well because they all grew into very responsible people. The character, Luke Hobbs, was revealed bit by bit. He was the cop chasing the main characters. After they saved him from dying he helped them rob the bank. He developed through that and started to understand why they were robbing the bank.

Malcolm Gladwell's Spaghetti

In a video we watched recently in class it featured a guy named Malcolm Gladwell. He spoke of the food industry as an analogy for everything in real life. His main points of the speech were that all people have a different taste and preference. Also how you can't have a one kind fits all when it comes to food. His first example is Pepsi and Coke and how some people only like Pepsi and others only like Coke. His second example is about spaghetti sauce. It's about how there needs to be more than one kind of spaghetti sauce so everyone likes it. He talks about how you should ask people what they want instead of just giving them what you think is the best. Also about how only a third of people liked the original chunky sauce. When they started asking people what they wanted they came up with types like spicy and plain without chunks. He talks about how for everyone to be happy with what they are eating and buying there needs to be more than one type to choice from. And how keeping everyone happy is not easy.

Canadian Themed Poem

White snow,

Catapulting all over,

As far as the eye can see.

Now that everyone's hockey season has started,

We all have something in common.

The rink is open and the kids are skating,

Some playing hockey while others play tag,

All having the best of time,

And doing so with there friends.

This is a typical day in Canada,

Is there anything better?

What Makes Good Poetry

For a poem to be good it must have a few key points. The first thing a poem needs is good word choice. Word choice sets up the quality for the entire poem. If you choose the right words your poem could have better meaning and the reader can connect to the poem easier. Specific references are needed too, because it makes the poem more relatable for the reader. Rhyming can be useful as well because it gives the poem flow. The last thing that is needed for good poetry is well placed line breaks. Line breaks set up how the poem is going to come across to the reader. Line breaks can change the poems meaning if they are placed right.
