I used the picture of the two boys leaning on each other because it is designed to be like Salva and Marial trusting and helping each other. It also has salva with a determined face, because throughout the entire story is determined to survive. Salva’s determination to survive is shown in places such as when she has the swim across the Gilo river which is contaminated with numerous crocodiles, and when she had to power through her fatigue when she had to keep up with her group even when her feet have given up on her, and she had no energy left. Marial is shown, because he was significant to Salva and his death initially made salva feel fainthearted and perturbed, but it ended up empowered Salva to continue to trek through Southern Sudan.

is shown when Salva is cling on to his Uncle due to freight of lions, and when Salva remembered Marial while going through the Akobo desert, he said,”It was as if they left their strength with him, to help him on his journey.” The tagline, “Salva never thought much of his country’s war, until it transformed his life,” reflects the overall premise of the novel, because when he was in school, he said how he did not know much about the war, but the war ended up taking everything from him for many years. The novel emphasized how reluctant Salva was to leave the village when it said, “Away from home.” at the end of the chapter. Salva’s reluctance to leave the village shows how he knows it will be hard to find his family or a new home, he even repeats.” Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?” The whole novel follows the path of Salva’s desire to find a new home and family, and seeing his family again.
This leads Salva to his new family in New York, and finding his father in a clinic in Sudan. In conclusion, all of salva’s hardships and obstacles was caused by the war between the government and rebels, but it also led to Salva finding a new family in New York.
Ayush Tandon will be starring as Salva, because they both show that they are people who persevere through tough situations and overcome losses, and they both have a similar appearance. Ayush Tandon played a boy who lost his parent in a shipwreck brilliantly in Life of Pi and showed how he is a man who can overcome daunting obstacles with sheer willpower, such as when he was rejected 2 times for his part. Salva also lost his parents for a long period of time and he constantly had to show his willpower to survive whether it was walking through scorching sand or a swimming through a raging river Quvenzhane Wallis will be starring as Nya, because their appearances likely somewhat match, and they are both extremely passionate about their causes, and they both try to accomplish things diligently. Quvenzhane Wallis is a young girl who got put down many times when auditioning for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild, and after getting rejected multiple times, she eventually persevered and got the role, and this perfectly shows her passion to her cause. Nya had to walk miles to get
water every day for her family whether it was burning hot or ice cold, and no matter what she always found the willpower inside her to keep bringing water, and this shows Nya’s passion to her cause. Blake Cooper will be playing Marial, because they were both incredibly caring and young people that tear jerkingly died at some point. Blake Cooper is a friendly guy, as shown by his beaming personality when acting in a movie, and is always thought of as the “Nice Guy” whether it be in real life or in a movie, but is full of knowledge of the world, he even skipped 2 grades. Marial was Salva’s friend until he met his demise, but it was clear from the time he spent with Salva that he was a cordial guy as shown when he opens up to Salva, and he is also shown as intelligent when he tells Salva that they are going to Ethiopia, but when he dies Salva reminisces on their time together and it is shown how innocent and caring Marial was. Leonardo DiCaprio is playing as Uncle Jewiir, because they are both critical thinkers, creative, charismatic, and down to Earth. Dicaprio shows these traits both onscreen and in real life, his fellow cast members always seem to adore him, and he even sat down with a fellow castmember for 5 hours to help them play their part perfectly. Jewiir shows these traits when he becomes a fatherly figure to Salva and when is so leaderly he become the leader of his group with hours. Tom Hanks is starring as Mawien Dut (Salva’s dad), because they are both light hearted, and willing to do crazy things. Tom Hanks always does friendly things for his fans whether it be taking a funny photo or in one instance reading a short book, he was even willing to gain 30 pounds, lose 30 pounds, and dramatically change for 3 almost back to back movies! Mawien Dut always laughed with Salva and gave her presents and made her laugh, and when he had to walk over 300 miles he was still ready to overcome that insane obstacle while extremely sick. The movie would be rated PG-13. This is because most of the book is calm and shows Salva’s struggle to survive in a war ridden part of Sudan and Ethiopia, but some parts of the book are simply too bloody and/or gory. Parts of the book that fit this descriptions are places such as Salva swimming across the Gilo river where people are being eaten by crocodiles and shot by bullets there is just too much blood and death staining the water to have a rating below PG-13. The rating is not above PG-13, because there are no adult themes such as alcohol, and there is also not enough prolonged violence to require a R or above rating. The song “Hold” by Tricia Brock expresses the theme of when someone dies, you should grief, but treasure them so that you will not be hindered but empowered. This song and theme relate, because Salva was always clinging on to Uncle Jewiir from the beginning to the end. Right when Salva sees Jewiir, he instantly hugs him in ecstasy, after Marial dies Salva is almost literally clinging on to him, and when Jewiir died, Salva was terrified and numb, yet empowered. Salva even stated how beneath his sadness he felt empowered. “Hold” shares this theme, because the lyrics imply that there was someone relying on someone else, and the tone of the singer starts sad and depressed but then their tone becomes more empowering yet still slightly melancholy. This implies that the despair was overcome, and now the person that was once clinging is now independent.

The Joads stand as exemplary figures in their refusal to be broken by the circumstances that conspire against them. At every turn, Steinbeck seems intent on showing their dignity and honor; he emphasizes the importance of maintaining self-respect in order to survive spiritually. Nowhere is this more evident than at the end of the novel. The Joads have suffered incomparable losses: Noah, Connie and Tom have left the family; Rose of Sharon gives birth to a stillborn baby; the family possesses neither food nor promise of work. Yet it is at this moment (Chapter Thirty) that the family manages to rise above hardship to perform an act of unsurpassed kindness and generosity for the starving man, showing that the Joads have not lost their sense of the value of human life.

There are many major similarities and differences between the book and movie forms of the Secret Life of Bees. Three similarities are that in the movie and the book, June and Lily grew to love each other in the same way, Lily and T-Ray’s relationship was the same and the reason Lily ran away from him was the same, and finally, Lily and Rosaleen have the same relationship. Three major differences between the two forms of the Secret Life of Bees are that T-Ray finds Lily and Rosaleen in a different way in the movie than in the book, there is no Mary Day celebration or vigil in the movie, and finally, in the book, Lily narrates how she is feeling and what she is thinking. On the other hand, she does not do this in the movie. There are many similarities and differences between the movie and the book forms of the Secret Life of Bees, causing the movie to be missing many important details.
