Final         Andy 2c 2 “Any act of kindness is an act of almost unadulterated courage.” (Hodson,2012) This is what I have learnt from a woman with an incredible and implausible super power which breaks reader’s hearts, and make them start crying, tears start falling, shoes start getting wet. This woman is totally different from us. She has designed over thousands of books in every genre of fiction and non-fiction. A story tells about how could she get the idea of Wonder (her first novel).On a trip outside New York City with her two young sons, Caleb and Joseph. She came across a little girl who was certain that she had Treacher-Collins syndrome. The little girl’s appearance shocked the woman and the two sons. “I was thinking in terms of the little girls feeling?” she wondered.”—Mrs. Palacio (Peter, 2013).  The author of Wonder, RJ Palacio is a graphic designer by day and writer by night, who was born on July 13, 1963 in NYC....

Journal 3 : Validation

    For the gem, it's not like action, or like spider-man obviously. The first time that I watched Validation, I think it was like eight or nine years old. I was quite young you know. I was an actual child as I saw this, the funny part is I laughed though most of it I think. I didn't know it at the exact same time, and I realized as I got older and watched, kind of like  marvellous.     Today's movie seems hard to be brilliant. No matter how hard they work, they always pretend to be fakes. This is where Validation comes in. A short film directed by Kurt Kuenne in 2007 is definitely oozes joy. I love the idea of the producer T. J. Thyne, he used some of like media skills, like  directing, editing and cinematography  to make it easier to read for readers, even though there were over 20 million people in audience, it's unbelievable.     The plot is simple, a person gives a free verification. Yes, that car but he also has some oth...
