How to be happy on school

There are two types of people in school, that ones that are happy with it, and that ones that do not. Most of the students live this situation of beign happy or not in the school they are. Specially when the change of school, for example from middle school to high school. I think chaging of level of studies and of school it is very difficult for people who do not know whta school they want to get in. And they end in a school the didn´t wanted to be, and they are unhappy with it. Most of the time the fault is of the parents because they don´t let them to choose their school, and the pressure them to choose the school they want. That´s why i did this essay about how to be happy in school, for people don´t make this mistake of being unhappy in the school they are, and for them to make a good choice and beign happy in the school they are.

First of all, for example if you are going to change form middle school to high school, you should know on third of middle school at the begining of it on what school you wanted to be, if not you should look for information and the benefits on being on each high school that it is on your possibilities to pay. Then, you choose the school you most like, don´t hear to much other persons about their opinions because thta makes you more confused. After that get in touch with your friends that are going to the same school for you guys to meet the first day, and no to be around alone. When you are in your knew school, look for your classroom and see if some one you know is in your classroom and stick to him, for you guys can make company to each other and not be alone while the class is about to start. Then, while you are in the classroom start talking to knew people, ene though they will make dainamics in each class for you guys to get to know each other, you should start talking to them for you to don´t feel acheimed when you talk in front of them or stuff.


After that, if you dont know how to start a conversation you should start with questions like: from what schoool you come from ? what´s your name? , etc. simple questions but, for you to get to know the person. Then, wehen you already make friends ande you ahve your group, you have to see what the school ask you for bieng on it , for example how muhc of average , how mauch onm grades and all thts stuff. For you to get all they ask for pay attention to the classes, do all the homeworks , study for the exams, etc. make all the possible for you to get good gardes, for you not only to have friends and stuff, but also to be okay on the academic area. Finally, if you can that it is always good , to make friends of your teachers , not friends, but to gain them. Even though a lot of teachers are sometimes bad with you and unfair, and have a bad perspective of you , you have to try to gain them, for them to be more flexible with you.


There you have the steps to be happy on your school, remember that all starts by choosing the right school for you. It is always good to hear opinions but dont make them to be your decisions, do what makes you happy always.

• In one pivotal scene, the show’s host tells Jamal his own story about coming from the slums. He then gives Jamal the wrong answer written on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?
I think the host was just angry, because I asume the host thought that someone like Jamal did not deserve to be a millionere just like that, so that's why he gave him the wrong awnser because maybe he was thinking that someone who has passed over everything to become what he is should deserve it more. What Jamal did was that he started to use his own knowledge and trusted no longer the host.

• Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?
When Jamal and Salim lost their mother they gain a new friend. I think this of the gain/loss thing is true because, when you loose something or loose at something this shows you the next time you have to be smarter or better. When we close a door we open a window.

• The chaos and the constant noise and motion of Mumbai at the center of the film, (supported by a fabulous soundtrack) are contrasted with a deeper silent seeking. Describe what each of the main characters is seeking.
Salim loos for Jamal while Jamal looks for Lathika (the friend).

Slumdog millionaire

Compare and contrast three pivotal choices or decisions
made by Jamal and Salim. How do their choices affect their
respective paths in life or "destinies"?

• in my opinion i think that this choices where when Salim and Jamal recived help from those strangers, when Salim took the decission of become a gangter, and when Salim told talivka to escape from the ganster and to go where Jamal was. the frist decission they made of accepting those starngers help, lead them to the danger of not knowing what could possible happen to them, they just took that help and when they were with those strangers they knew it was a bad idea and lead them to escape from them, the second decission was when Salim decided to become a ganster, he knew of the dangerous business he was going to enter, but he had nothing that's why he choose this path, this lead him to a life of obbeying the boss no matter if it was against his brother will, the last one was a little bit wise decission, because he knew that he had taken so many decisions that had affected his broters life and he knew that his brother will was to be able to pass his life with Talivka the girl he always wanted to help, that lead him to make a deccisiion for his brother knowing the consecuences that this would bring, but at last this lead him to death.

Is ethical decision making possible when one must make choices based on survival? Do seemingly "bad" choices make a person bad?

• I think that choices based on survival ar acceptable, but are not always rigth, you can't judge a person because of a bad deccision he made, i think that bad person always do bad decissions, but that bad deccisions never make bad persons.

What do you think the film is saying about the globalization of culture through media? We see the game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" adapted in the Indian culture. Is this a sign of progress? Why or why not? What is this film staying about the effect of money on culture?

• i think that the world somehow it's being globalized, because of the expansion of the media, and all this is the because money it's moving through the world, i think that today the world is being buy by the power of money what countries around the world always wanted was the money, if they can sell their culture for some benjamins they willd o such a thing, money is the first cause of globalization. Money it's a way of changing people life, sometimes it change for good and sometimes it turn you into his prisioner, you can control money or it can control you, it will depend in how you work to get it, and the way you're going to use it.

PD: prof. it was difficult to find the questions, because your blog misses some times and states error, and leave you with no material for the assignment.

ariana Slumdogmillionaire

In the final scene, we see Salim and the choice he makes - filling the bathtub with money, etc. Why does he make this choice?
Salim made this choice becasue he knew that the bad men were coming and that anyway they will kill him becasue they already knew that he leave Latika on liberty, so he put all the money in the bath so they can see that all the money that he has finally don't give him any benfit becasue he eran it in a bad way, by corruption and by making bad to other inocent people. Is like to give the message that at last all that money he earn in a badway it wasn't useful becasue he wasn't happy at the end.


This film weaves together nightmare and impossible dream. What do you take away as the most important message or impression from the film?
Well, yes maybe is an impossible dream, becasue I don't think that slum intellligence how is called in the movie is that big like the one of the Jamal, but for me the most important message of the movie is that at last the money wasn't the most important thing, the most important thing was that he can finally be with Latika, and the money help him to help others thta really need it and also to him that he want so much to be a millionaire. Even though in real life that can't happend at all because people do a lot of effort to earn money.

The game show format brings into to focus the culture of meaningless competition. What does the spectacleof the game say about what people value today? What values does the media promote? Are they humanizing values?
People in this days value money, interests, beauty and forget about real things like love and important values such as being good person aand being honest people. The media promote beauty and money mostly, so people now doesn't care from were does money come, but they think that money and beuty will give you happiness, but that isn't true becasue at last you will pay more all that bad thing you do to get money and finally you won't even use that money.

Slumdog Millionarie

What does the title mean? How does the title and the contrasts within it provide symbolic summary of the film?

 The title is slumdog mllionary iand i think it means any one can become millionary wiht the determination and beign intelligent and It's related to the story of the movie on how a boy that lived in extreme poverty when he was little and he haven`t nothing not even a cent then he  become millionarie when he was older.

Early in the film we see the young Jamal dive into a latrine pit to steal a glimpse at a visiting movie star. How does his single-mindedness to see this movie star reveal his determination? What other examples do you see in the film of his determination?      

 I think a loto f things Jamal did in the movie shows his determination and that he woulkd do anything to get what he wants, one example is the way he gain does millions in the game, and another example Could be when he met Latika and she disappeared he makes everything to be with her again.

In the film, the theme of destiny is a central theme. What does it mean that all Jamal desires is just out of his reach? (The prized autograph, Latika, his brother, the answers, etc.)

That life was putting him obstacles to see if he can overcome then and gain the destiny he had and he did even though the obstacles that we saw in the movie were hard, but he ngot a good ending.
