Creative Writing: Blog #3 (Character)

I feel like a great movie that represents excellent character is Divergent. I really don't want to give away too much about the movie but let me just give you a little bit of background. In the movie, every person must pick a faction in order to serve their community as a whole. Divergents are the people who don't fit into any faction. The government tries to eliminate all of the Divergents because they think that the Divergents are very dangerous to the community. If you really want to know, I suggest for you to read the Divergent series and watch the movie. The scene below represents several characters. The character I am going to focus on this blog is Tris.

 

Tris is a very well rounded character. At this scene, Tris belongs in the Dauntless faction. She seems to have no fear by the way she speaks, acts, and looks. As you can see it the video, Tris has a tattoo which explains that she is very brave and is ready to do anything. There is also one type of conflict that is present within this scene. This type of conflict is characterized as a relationship conflict. Tris does not really think that Four would really behave the way he did in this scene. Tris thought that Four would always look out for her but instead, he started throwing knives at her to test her bravery. 

 

Creative Writing: Blog #2 (Specificity)

This scene is going to be from the movie, The Hunger Games. I know that many of you probably already watched the movie, read the book, or heart about from other people who watched the movie or read the book. The post might be a little bit of a cliché but, I really enjoyed reading this book and watching the movie. The Hunger Games is basically about Katniss Everdeen who volunteered as tribute to go to the hunger games. All of the tributes come together to kill each other until one of them is the only one alive. Katniss makes several friends throughout the movie, but one of the dearest to her heart is Rue. I chose the scene in this movie/book where Rue dies after getting shot in the back with an arrow.

 

I really liked the scene in the Hunger Games when they show Rue's death because, it brings out some of the main character's emotions that was not very evident in the rest of the book. At the beginning of the book, Katniss appeared to be the type of girl that was very tough and would not let anything get to her. But, seeing her break down into tears when she saw a girl that she barely knew die, it really said a lot about her personality and how vulnerable her emotions are. Although there was not much dialogue in the scene, the character's actions said a lot more than words would have in that situation. I also like how the author used a very simple scene in the movie/book of just a forest. The scene made the environment look very calming.
