The living room was dark and the only thing you could see was the brightness of the TV. Also, I could still hear many people talking from down stairs, fire truck siren going off, and the city lights that were still shining bright. At the age of seven, on a cold Friday night in Brooklyn; my mom, cousin, and I started watching some scary movies since it was around Halloween. There was this movie called “Child’s Play” and as a child, I didn’t like the movie at all due to the fact that there was an ugly doll that was moving and killing people. During, that weekend it was showing marathons all weekend long since it was the Halloween weekend. The bed was pulled out with all the warm blankets and snacks besides us waiting for the move to start. When the movie finally, started the scene started out very pleasant! The sun was shining, the little boy and his mom was happy, the birds were flying it was just a good day that they was having. Then, all of a sudden his mother bought her son a My Buddy doll that says “Hi, I’m Chucky. Wanna play?” and the doll would just sit still. To me, I thought it was funny looking because the doll kind of look …show more content…
Many teens and adults said it was hilarious to them, while some people thought it was too scary for younger teens and children to watch. Then there were people saying that I was a good 80’s horror movie, although the viewer’s said it was horrible movie. In this movie review site called “Common Sense Media” one of the parents named “Nervous Parent Of Boys” stated that “Not for kids or Teens. Only if your teens are mature. My 15 year old wanted to watch with his friends and it really scared him” (CommonSense). That I can agree with the parent because just looking a wooden doll and seeing it run and tries to kill you will terrify a child or teen real bad. Also, another person in Common Sense Media states
At the Roundhouse theatre La boite in 2012 the play boy girl wall was performed by one man, Lucas Stibbard. The play is essentially a love story unlike what Stibbard says at the very beginning. The story is about a star-gazing boy, Thom, and a matchmaking wall, as well as Alethea the girl with the magpie after her. Along with a range of other characters, those three make up the title. This play’s didactic purpose to the audience is to make the audience overcome their fear. Stibbard effectively transmits this to the audience through conventions Brecht Theatre, such as V-effekt, Spass, Gest and multimedia.
It felt like something retro but with better special effects. This was surprisingly satisfying, because as technology progresses, even though a movie classic’s storyline may be phenomenal and the characters iconic, there is still is that craving for better visual effects. This movie kind of breathed a new life into that same feeling that movies like E.T. or the Goonies, give the audience by providing advanced CGI graphics. The provided the audience with some of the nostalgia, but the fact that the main characters were children is really what did it. It helped tremendously that the writer made sure his protagonists didn 't appear to be overly contrived. Many films with child stars tend to have the characters perform actions that would realistically be above the scope of ability for someone in their age group. But J.J. Abrams did a great job of fully developing each of their personalities. He let them show more of the emotions that would be expected from real life children. They shed tears, they were afraid. One of Joe’s friends, Preston (Zach Mills), even refused to go. Not a single one was unrealistically heroic or did ridiculous stunts, they were courageous but not so much so that they audience couldn’t suspend disbelief. And another refreshing aspect of the film, was the ‘romance’ between Alice and Joe. Abrams kept it on the more platonic side as it should be. Six graders should never be sexualized in film which unfortunately

On April 12, 2014 at 7:30 pm, I gratefully attended the musical Guys and Dolls at Ouachita Baptist University's auditorium. Directed by Daniel Inouye, this wonderful play is based on the story and characters of Damon Runyan. These stories which were written in the 1920s and 1930s, involved gangsters, gamblers, and other characters from the New York underworld. The premiere of Guys and Dolls on Broadway was in 1950 where it ran 1200 performances and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical had many Broadway revivals and was even turned into a film in 1955.
Exploring How Psychologists Study the Role of Play in Child Development Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, New Edition, 1995 defines “play” as: “[Children] when children play, they do things that they enjoy, often together or with toys. ” Play is one of the most powerful vehicles children have for trying out and mastering new social skills, concepts and experiences. Psychologists, such as Faulkner (1995), present evidence that play is seen as a mean of developing social skills and interpersonal relationships with others. The first section of the essay will present the different approaches psychologists use in the quest to learn about the role of children’s play and their related issues. This section will briefly define the nature of play and the different types of play that influence social development.
The shots were shown at an average speed and the trailer mostly showed the funny parts of the film, which may have been intended to get people to watch. Another part which stood out was when Minnie Driver turns her head very slowly towards the camera. The film was family orientated as it had funny parts and parts about love. The stars names were given in writing on the screen too; they were
The film is then set against the background of toys. Woody voiced by Tom Hanks is the favourite toy of a little boy called Andy. However on Andy’s birthday he receives a new toy: Buzz Lightyear voiced by Tim Allen. This leads to a massive shift in roles with Woody being alienated not only by Andy but by the rest of his toys who once looked up to him as an authority figure and role model. However rather than them switching their allegiance from Woody to Buzz it is more a result of Woody’s own insecurity turning him into a bully than Buzz’s arrival which makes the other toys turn on him. However they both learn that when Woody pushes them into a difficult situation they aren’t so different from each other af...
An Article by Dr. Leong and Dr. Bodrova (2016) stated that play is beneficial to children’s learning especially when it reaches a certain degree of complexity. When they engage in play activities most of their early years, they learn to delay gratification and to prioritize their goals and actions. They also learn to consider the perspectives and needs of other people and to represent things significantly to regulate their behavior and actions in a cautious, intentional way.
A couple nights after Halloween, my friends and I thought it was be fun it we went to go watch a scary movie. Some of my friends didn't want to go on Halloween night because they thought it would be too scared, so we went a couple days after. I don't remember what we watched but all I remember is it said it was rated R, and I didn't even get scared of flinch once through out the whole movie. My friend were scared to death, they were hiding behind there hands, hiding behind there jackets, they were even hiding behind me. I just sat there in the movie theater, with a straight face.
This child study report involved different approaches to observation and assessment. Play-based observation, an approach to assessment that involves observing a child in their natural environment and daily routine, was predominantly used to provide a personal report on a specific child 's development in the physical, cognitive, language/literacy, and social emotional developmental domains. Play-based learning uses a curriculum called hands on learning, "[involving] children as active participants, encouraging them to manipulate, investigate, experiment, and solve problems" (pg. 160). The goal of play-based observation, or hands-on learning, is to capture where the child is developmentally, where his strengths are
Play supports children’s physical development as when they are playing they are being active and exercising their body. It is important that children develop strength and stamina from a young age and through
Many theorists have tried to define play as a concept, however, no two agree on a set definition. Their backgrounds and induvial lifestyles influence the way they see the importance of play. Reed and Brown also believe that there isn’t an agreed definition of play because is something that is felt rather than done (Reed & Brown, 2000 cited in Brock, Dodd’s, Jarvis & Olusoga, 2009). In spite of this, it is clear that most theorists uphold the ethos that play is imperative to a child’s learning and development. There is a wide range of different studies and theories which helps us develop our own perception of what play is. In my personal experience I have found play to be a way of expressive our emotions, exploring and learning new things, thus
One of the most successful and influential early childhood educational strategies that have been used to promote children’s social and cognitive development is scaffolding. Scaffolding generally refers to the process through which adults facilitate children’s learning by enabling them achieve a level of ability beyond the child’s capacity at the time (Scarlett, 2005). This essay will discuss how scaffolding facilitates and supports meaning making in children’s play. First, the essay will briefly introduce the concept of scaffolding and its importance in children’s development. The essay will then explore various early childhood educational theories that support or acknowledge the role played by scaffolding, the view of children as learners capable of constructing meaning and the importance of teacher presence in a play based curriculum. The essay will examine scaffolding through the theoretical lens of the philosophy of Reggio Emilia, the constructivist theories of Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget and Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The essay will argue that all examined theories support the role of scaffolding in facilitating and supporting meaning making in children’s play and emphasize the importance of teacher presence in all areas of the curriculum, especially in a play based curriculum.
Some of the humor in Zootopia is obviously aimed towards the adults in the audience causing some to think it is not a good movie for kids to watch. Putting that aside, there are jokes many kids will enjoy such as how slow the sloth talks and moves. The movie will not only make kids laugh but it will also teach them valuable life lessons. Zootopia is a movie you wont want to
I had spent the night at a friend’s house and I couldn’t sleep so I called my mom to come get me and bring me home. On our way home I talked to her about how I wasn’t comfortable sleeping away from home and how it scared me. When we got home I rushed to the door because my grandma and my little sister Alyssa were waiting for me. As I opened the front door I could hear screaming and voices I had never heard before. My heart started racing and I couldn’t think about anything but that I wanted to see what was going on. I shoved the front door open and my mom rushed to be behind me. As we walked into the house I was my grandmother screaming at someone and hiding my little sister behind her. Alyssa looked terrified like she was being attacked. My mom
