The entrepreneur I am doing is named Tyler Perry. He was born with the name of Emmitt Perry, Jr. in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 13, 1969. Tyler has accomplished many goals and achieved great doing. He produced the next play ‘I Can Do Bad All by Myself’ in the year of 2000, which was an almost instantly a hit. In the play ‘Madea’, the character which everything is based on/around, who was portrayed after his mother and was acted by Perry himself, took the show away. Perry’s most well-known film, which received multiple awards and nominations, is the romantic comedy-drama film ‘Diary of a Mad Black Woman’. Made with a healthy set budget of $5.5 million, the movie collected a huge amount of $50.6 million, at the box-office. Currently Tyler Perry is working in the filming industry.
Tyler Perry comes from a not so good background. He had issues in his home and had a hard childhood. He suffered many years of abuse. He was one of four kids and his father was a carpenter. Perry thinks of his dad as a man to beat everything out of you for no reason and to feel as if beating was the only answer. During one point in his teenage life, he tried to commit suicide, but he changed his first name to Tyler since he had the same first name as his father at first. Perry completed elementary and middle school, but he soon dropped out high school. He received his general equivalency diploma later. In trying to find his way in professions he took part in many irrelevant jobs before his found the true passion he had. While watching an episode of Oprah Winfrey's talk show, Perry was influenced by a response on the program dealing with how writing about hard times could evolve to personal out comings.

...jects he has created. I do posses some similar qualities to that of Tyler Perry. We both have that passion in us to be great and make it somewhere big. We both don’t have to half do things and instead do them to the best of our abilities. I had dreams just like I’m sure Tyler Perry had. And we both also take that leadership ole naturally, and people just fall behind naturally as well. We take initiative and can approach events with open and broad mind set willing to use the criticism given o us by others to improve us. When I grow up, being an entrepreneur seems nice. I know I would have to become more accustomed to the different kinds of people in the world and be willing to work with them all effectively. Entrepreneurs have the characteristic of being one already built inside them. It takes someone with courage, understanding, and a mind willing to new things.
Napoleon Dynamite is one of the best movies portraying loneliness and nerds. It is the story of Napoleon in high school and his lonely adventures. All the main characters feel separated, misunderstood, and have nobody to relate to. Napoleon has no friends and lives in his own fantasy land. He is avoided by everybody. His brother seems to be mislead, wanting to be a cage fighter but staying home all the time hopelessly trying to find love and attention on the internet. Their grandmother is never there for them, though she lives her own life right beside them. They live next to a huge field, reinforcing their isolation. Practically every home in the film is

He grew up in a different environment with a broken family with no apparent dreams. As a young boy his parents separated and he was forced to go with his mother. He later ran away to be with his father who turned him down and ended up being abandoned by his family completely. He then came to stay at a catholic orphanage, where he was abused by nuns and caregivers. His father finally decided to take him into his care and together they got away and traveled, ending his education before passing the third grade which bothered him as he became older. Perry joined the marines and army, then came back to relocate his father. Him and his father had a breakthrough over starvation, leaving Perry with no one else to turn to and therefore getting involved in committing crimes. Once he got caught and jailed, his mother had died and his brother and sister had both committed suicide. By all his experiences we can say Perry definitely lived a different life and his family portrayal was very different from the Clutters. After so much abandonment and abuse, we can understand why he almost feels nothing and how growing up has affected him. The American Dream for Perry might not have been a “perfect family” but may have been to find something with order, and control. The dream Perry’s family would be focused on is reaching a decent life as their past has been
