The film and short story are different because the film and short story’s characters are of different age groups. Charlie and Chocolate Factory and ‘Rich for One Day’ have the same theme, which is money does not buy happiness. In the film Charlie and Chocolate Factory Charlie finds happiness when he opens the chocolate bar wrapper and find the last golden ticket. Charlie feels rich because he had never had something like that happen to him; he has never won a contest. Charlie was always an unlucky kid who never got much.
Pluto looked at the cookies, he had never eaten cookies before, and no one had ever offered him cookies. “What kind of cookies do you have little girl” he said. He could not take his eyes off of the woman. “Chocolate, peanut butter, s’mores, and sugar,” she said “Here taste these, Chocolate are my mom’s favorite, I know you would like them.” Your mother” he said under his breathe… “Hi, sir my name is Proserpina, and this is my little girl. “Proserpina, my name is Pluto, I went to school with you,” he said with a twinkle in his eyes, and just for a moment he remember what happiness was.
While Alyson and Lynn stayed in 6A, Logan and Jason moved into the nearby Ronald McDonald House, a place to stay for families receiving treatment for serious illnesses. Two days before Christmas, Jason caught the Norwalk virus, throwing the whole process off-track as doctors kept him quarantined, waiting for him to recover. If Jason was no longer a suitable match—if his health wasn’t good enough or there was something wrong with his liver—the chances of finding another donor in time were extremely slim. He lay in bed, worrying every wasted day was putting his daughter one step closer to
My friend lifted up her shirt, showed her a bright red (not pink) belly, and told her mother she had been calling and informing the doctor's office for days. They simply told her it was normal to have pain, not to worry, and they could not fit her in for an appointment until the following week. From the site of my friends stomach, her mother rushed her to the emergency room in horror. What my friend had was a horrible disease called necrotizing fasciitis and it had spread through parts of her body like wild fire. So I began investigating and found that she was not the only one.
They had found a demon inside her and they were trying to get it out, she couldn’t remember anything.

The main character Ed Kennedy learns to adopt better qualities of humanity. In one of his missions, he gives a family a warm welcoming Christmas, who is new to the neighborhood because no one has ever come to meet them or help them. Ed decides to “brighten up the Tatupu house this year”(Pg.221) by buying them Christmas lights exactly the same as the old ones and realizes that “It’s not a big thing, but I guess it’s true—big things are often just small things that are noticed”(Pg.221). Ed knows that buying the same lights is not huge and expensive, but he understands that small things are big. Money is not only thing that can make someone happy; it’s the littlest things that can bright up someone’s life, which is what the author shows in I am the Messenger.
I – I run off” (55). By telling Huck that he ran away from Miss Watson, Jim is placing his life in Huck’s hands. If Huck were to betray Jim, it could result in the death of Jim; Huck also gains a sense of control over Jim- something he has lacked he whole life- by knowing this valuable piece of information. Because of this initial “leap of faith” taken by Jim, their relationship is able to prosper and grow on this statement, serving as the building block of their bond. Additionally, the two encounter bonding experiences such as being in the cave during the thunderstorm.
Okay, so I’m sure you’re thinking to yourself, “Why me?” “Why did I have to tear my ACL in the last game of my senior year” and so many other things. Well here’s the deal, you tore your ACL, can’t do much about it, its happened and there’s no going back now. Your life is now going to be pretty hard for the next 9 months. You’ll have surgery, and guess what, you won’t be able to walk after; you’ll be rolled out of the hospital in a wheelchair. You know what else, you’ll need help peeing, showering, changing clothes, getting in and out of bed, and all that fun stuff.
After watching the movie, you realize how amazing and inspirational Chris is. There’s not a lot of people that will just go to Alaska with the shirt on their back and survive and actually be happy. He was so content while he was there and you could tell he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but there, in the wild, with nothing but the land to explore. Some people have said that the director of Into the Wild, Sean Penn, made Chris’ character seem kind hearted than his real personality in the book. But I believe that Chris is just a guy that is down to earth and real.
I will admit, this video scared the crap out of me because I was scheduled for a tonsillectomy, and I thought what I saw in the video, was what doctors actually did to a person after they were knocked out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM8bTdBs-cw When I was nine years old, I can remember getting ready for school, my brother, sister, and I, and my brother and I were teasing each other like always, I do not remember what it was about though, but I can remember distinctly listening to “Free Fallin” by Tom Petty. This was one of many happy moments in my life, because the teasing we did was all I good fun before leaving for school for the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWJXDG2i0A I can still remember this one babysitter my sibling and I had, because my mom was a singe mom that had to work a lot to support us kids, the one song he listened to the most being around us was “Cherry Pie” by Warrant. He also played in a rock band with his friends, our neighbors in our garage.
