Blog#8 Finding Forrester

At the beginning of the firm, Jamal plays basketball on the playground and Forrester look him through the window mysteriously. Jamal and his friends discover Forrester to peep them. In the lunchtime, these guys think Jamal doesn’t have courage to go to the old man apartment. Then Jamal enters Forrester’s apartment, he was so scare and left his bag in the apartment. Forrester throw Jamal’s bag through the window. Jamal finds that Forrester touched his stuff and correct his mistakes in writing. Jamal goes to Forrester’s apartment and apologizes to him. Forrester ask Jamal to write 5000 about leaving his home. Then Jamal was enrolled by a private school-Maillor.  Jamal doesn’t need to pay anything. Jamal come into the apartment and take back his essay. Jamal visits his new school and finds out the Forrester is a famous writer. Then he came into Forrester’s apartment again, and Forrester teaches Jamal how to write the paper, write first draft by heart and the use think rewrite it. But Jamal can’t write anything, then Forrester asks Jamal to type his previous work. Forrester doesn’t allow Jamal to take it away. Jamal repeats it in the home and submit this to his professor. His professor finds that Jamal’s recent work is better than previous. He thinks it is unusual. Professor doesn’t think Jamal can write such perfect essay. He thinks Jamal commits plagiarism. He asks Jamal to write next assignment in his office. Jamal can’t write anything in professor’s office. Professor finds that the writing that Jamal submitting is the Forrester’s previous work which has been published in New York-The Season of Faith’s perfection. The professor asks Jamal to write an apologize letter. Jamal doesn’t do that. After he fails the game, he writes a letter to Forrester about his heart feeling. Forrester come to school, and read Jamal’s writing. Everybody think it is a masterpiece because of the author is only 16 years old. Forrester think he needs to protect his friend who is that protect him and don’t tell anybody about the apartment things. Finally, Forrester was dead and he left his final book to Jamal.

I think this movie is a masterpiece. When I watch the final on Google, I almost cry. The plot is melting. The film shows the characters’ feeling and characteristic perfectly. I think Jamal is my most like character. His life was changed after his family member died, and he was reclusive. He doesn’t write anymore.  However, Jamal helps him to walk out the apartment. Jamal promises Forrester that he can’t tell anybody the apartment, even though he will get a serious punishment about plagiarism, but he still is silent. For me, plagiarism sometimes is convenience; it can help me finish assignment more quickly, but it also prevents my talent growing. The most important theme is Forrester helps Jamal to write essay, and Jamal helps Forrester to rewrite.
