The Station Agent

In the movie The Station Agent, Olivia Harris is a mother who lost her son. In the middle of the movie she tells us that she left her husband but moved to their vacation house to get away from him. When Olivia first invites Fin and Joe over for the first time she admits to them that she does not like having people over or does not have them over often. In the beginning and towards the end of the movie I could tell that she did not like having people over to her house because it was her get away from her husband and the outside world. She never answers her two phones because she does not like talking on them. I think that since her son died it made her not interact with people and she shut the world out. When Olivia is sitting with Fin on the porch of his place and she sees the little kids it makes her miss her son more and she runs home and shuts the world out. I think that she left her husband in the city to get away from all the people telling her sorry for her sons death and it was a good place for her to clear her mind, and also sometime to just relax and think to herself.

Station Agent

In the movie the Station Agent every character is dealing with their own problems and figuring out who they are. The one person who stood out the most for me was Finbar McBride. Finbar is a little person who goes through life getting mean comments and weird looks. This made Finbar angry ( as it would for anybody else), so he stays isolated in an apartment above his train store where he works in the back away from costumers while another guy works in the front. Throughout the whole movie Finbars view of home has changed. In the beginning of the movie he would go through his life depressed and sad. During this time i don't think he ever felt like he was at home anywhere or doing anything. Later in the movie after the guy who worked in the front of the store died he left his train house in the country to Finbar. He had nowhere else to stay so decided to go to that house. This is when Finbar was beginning to change his feeling on a home. For him being at home isn't a physical place but more of an emotional state. Being able to read about trains or watch trains pass in the park on a sunny day is home to him. Going to a new place and meeting new people helped Finbar open up. Having Joe Aramas and Olivia Harris as his friends and them showing that they do care about him and about his love for trains has changed his feeling of home. Sharing the same feeling about trains as his friends really makes him feel better about himself and shows that he does have a home not only in an emotional state, but also in a physical place too. Having people who care about him can give him a sense of having a family, where before he never had those feelings which in the end helps him feel more at home with both emotionally and physically.

better understand

The movie autism: the musical helped me understand Christopher in the curious incident of the dog in the night time. After I watched I realized that Christopher and how he is different from the other kids. While I was watching the movie I can see that the different characters from each kids. Christopher is more likely hennery in the movie hennery was smart kid. Is a kind of who can create thing and wasn’t like loud noise. In the book Christopher didn’t like touching if someone Christopher he would punch. Christopher he more like math. And hennery he more dinosaur. When I was reading the book I didn’t knew that Christopher. Were kid who have autism but knowledge and smart kids who writing a book thanks to the movies. it bteer understad autism kid can do the norman person and live theor own worl.

autism

after watching the movie u have a better understanding on chrtistophers point of view and why he acts in certian ways. one major thing i've learned was that autistic children dont understand alot of the things that regular people consider normal. i didnt know that autistic children have many difficulty understanding people and things that would seem normal to us. christopher has similar difficulties as the children in the film. for example its hard for him to understand people emotions and understanding them. the film shows that autism is a reality and we have to deal with it. one of kids who name was adam i really liked him. Adam is really smart and adorable he reminds me of my little brother. the film does an exellent job showing the viewer what autism is and how to deal or react to it. I've learned alot and im greatful to god for my health.

after the movie Autism: The Musical

The movie Autism: The Musical help me understand more about Christopher and what autism people's thinking. The movie showing us a real story for autism and what problem autism people facing. It telling us much more detail about autism than the Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time . Before i watch the movie, i don't understand Christopher's behaviour in the book. After Christopher heard his mother died in hospital , he didn't cry ,sad or showing any emotion; he just accepted the fact of his mother dead.Many autism kids have them own difficult. There are many autism kids in the movie, i found that Henry and Neal are like to live in their own world. Henry was smart and he like animal. sometime, he even pretend he was animal. That just like Christopher, Christopher like to spend time on math and science, he is also living in his own world. After i watched the movie, i had learn more about autism. Just like Christopher ,many autism kids have behavior problem, some autism kid hate noise, so they like to stay on the corner and cover them ear. This movie help me understand more about Christopher's character and his behaviours.

Autism : a Better Look

After watching the movie Autism: the Musical, I got a better understand about Autism, and I can make a visual picture for the character Christopher in the Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. The documentary showed us how Autistic kids interact with regular people. They all like being in their own world, where there is no one to bother them. Before the movie I just thought Christopher was just a weird child, and I didn’t understand why he had a lack of emotion. For example when Christopher was talking about his mother and how she was dead, he was speaking of her like she was never his mother. He got straight to the point and said she died of a heart attack.

Christopher and the kids in the documentary have some similarities in common. For example Henry had a great deal of knowledge about dinosaurs that most people would not have. In Christopher’s case, his obsession is math and numbers. Neal is very quiet but like Christopher he throws temper tantrums. In the story, “Siobhan asked whether Father had hit me and I said I didn’t know because I got very cross and it made my memory go strange.” This shows how Chris had such a bad tantrum he blanks out and forgets everything. Also, the documentary showed how children with autism tend to be lonely and they go off in their own world. All of the kids had a place to get away from everything. Now I got a better understand why Christopher would sometimes go to his own world. But in the end, the documentary opened my eyes really helped my understand Christopher and his actions.

Christopher and Other Autistic Children!

After watching the movie on autistic kids, it did help me to understand Christopher more. In the movie it showed us that not every kid is the same. They are all talented in their own way. Elaine took a lot of children with autism in to do a musical with them. No one thought she could do it, but she was willing to prove them wrong. Lexi was very talented. She loved to sing, but she was an autistic kid. When she would get excited she would jump up and down and clap her hands. No matter what though Lexi never gave up singing. Christopher was also like this when it came to finding out who killed the dog. Henry in the movie was a very smart kid, but he was only smart, but he was only smart when it came to pre historic times. This is just like Christopher because he was also smart but in the math and science area. Christopher also didn’t like when people were loud. A lot of the kids in the movie were the same way. Adam was one of the kids who did not like loud noises. He would cover his ears just like Christopher would. Not all kids are like Christopher though. Wyatt was a very open kid. He loved to talk and he would go on for hours if you let him. This movie showed us that children with autism are not all the same, but people should treat them the same. Just because a child might have autism does not mean they can’t do what they put their minds to. All of these children proved this in their own way at the musical!

Understanding after movie

After the movie Autism, the musical helped me understand that Christopher have the kind of symptoms that the kids in the movie have. By watching the movie, I understand more about how people or with Autism feels. It also shows the way it makes a person behave. Some of the kids are in their own world, such as Henry in the film, living in his own little world in the film, and they way that Christopher described in the book. I think they both had the same action. Christopher didn’t like be touched, and some of the kids had the same feeling about that. Watching that movie helped me understand how people with the Autism symptoms would feel, and how they are living in their own little world sometimes. It also helped me understand more about Christopher in his book.

very good understanding!

The film of Autism: The musical help me to understand Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time so goodly. The movie has show me lots a real story of autism that might compared form the book of Christopher and the film of Autism. In the movie of autism kids has lot struggle of their brain problem. In the film there is a boy name Henry he reminded us much about the Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Henry in the film and Christopher in the book has most alike actions because they both are intelligent in their own way and they both are in their world. In the film of Autism Henry always wanted to make a friend who can talk to them and share what is his opinion. Christopher in the book he feels like he interesting animal like a dog, rats. Christopher also is good at Math and science subjects. In the book chapter (Haddon 71) ‘’I’m not meant to call them stupid, even thought this is what they are’’. Because everyone has learning difficulties to speak difference language. In the chapter Christopher was trying to prove that he is not meant to everyone or stupid. All what he said is proving his grade higher Math level and Christopher was smart when it came to that subject math and science. I also understand that Christopher does not like spend most of his time with the people because he likes to spend his time with computer and dogs. Both the film and book are alike but you can compare the characteristic Christopher and Henry in the movie.

After watching Autism: The Musical I feel like I have a pretty good visual of Christopher now. I noticed a lot of characteristics of Christopher described in the book throughout the kids in the movie. It is almost as if Christopher has one symptom from each kid in the movie. He doesn’t like loud sounds like a couple kids in the movie and he also doesn’t like being touched like some kids in the movie. The one thing I really noticed was how the kids would go into their own world like Christopher. It is almost as if the author watched this movie and based Christopher off a part of all the kids in the movie. There was not one kid in the movie that I couldn’t relate to Christopher. One of the characters I thought really related to Christopher was Henry. Henry was very knowledgeable when it came to reptiles and he would go into his own world. Christopher is the same exact way just with math and science. Henry would use his knowledge of reptiles to go into his own world and act like a reptile. Christopher used math and science to go into his own world and make him happy. One thing I noticed in Lexi was that she could really only repeat things and could not generate her own ideas or words. This is kind of like Christopher because he can’t exactly tell a lie he just leaves things out. He also has a very good memory because he can repeat things. Watching this movie was definitely a good idea because I have a much clearer picture of who Christopher really is now.

Better understanding Christopher

After watching the documentary Autism: The Musical I now have a much clearer image of how Christopher is different from others. While I was watching the movie I could see different characteristics from each kid that were talked about with Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. A lot of the kids in the film disliked loud noises and that is kind of like Christopher and being touched. When he is touched he feels violated and starts to hit the person touching him. Henry, from the movie, loved to talk about reptiles and he knew pretty much everything about them. His memory was very good and he was very smart because of it. This helped me see how Christopher too is very smart because of his amazing memory. I think Henry would agree with Christopher that their minds work like a computer. The film also shows how hard it is for kids with autism to be accepted by the other kids and how big of a struggle it is for their parents to take care of them. In a way I guess I can see how Christopher's mom just couldn't take it anymore. She obviously still cares about him because of all the letters and now I can understand how hard it must be for Christopher to be on his own trying to get to her. Thanks to the movie I will have a much better understanding of the character Christopher for the remainder of the book.

Good understanding after movie

I really understand who Christopher is after I watched the movie. Before I watch the movie I have picture who Christopher is. But now I really know who he is. He was a special kid who was autistic, live in his own world, and we see many kids that have same problem as him in the movie. I never heard this problem and I never seen anybody that has autism. But the question I ask my self is, if we have this problem of autism, how come the Doctors around the world didn’t find medicines for those children that have autistic because this is really big problem. We learn something new every day! When we where reading the book I thought this story was a made up story because I never heard of people have autism and they live in their own world. But when I watch the movie and I see all those kids that have autism, I realize that this problem is not something the author just made it up but it’s a problem that many people around the world have. So my conclusion is the book and the movie is the same, both of them talk about kids that have autism. But the main character of the book is a kids that has autism, and the movie is people that made project for many kids that have autism.

Help to better understand Christopher

The movie Autism: The Musical helped me understand Christopher in many ways. Each kid in the movie had their own unique styles that I think Christopher related too. Henry is just like Christopher in a way of knowing a lot of information or having a lot of knowledge about a certain subject. For Henry it was dinosaurs and for Christopher it was math. These two subjects for Henry and Christopher were like an escape from the world and they became comfortable with themselves. Neal is more quiet than the rest he tends to have bad tantrums and I think that’s how he and Christopher are similar. “Siobhan asked whether Father had hit me and I said I didn’t know because I got very cross and it made my memory go strange.” This shows that like Neal, Christopher has bad tantrums to the point that he can’t even remember what happened because he blanks out. Wyatt and Christopher to the point that Wyatt doesn’t want to be in a Special Ed class for being afraid of being different and Christopher what I think Christopher proves in a way that he isn’t special because he does so well in his math classes. Adam and Christopher are more different than they are alike. I think this because Adam likes playing with kids and is occasionally is bossy. Christopher doesn’t like to play with other people, but they both don’t like very loud noises. Watching this movie helped to better understand what Christopher’s parents had to go through almost every day. In the beginning they weren’t sure how to teach or care for an autistic kid but learned to adapt and find better ways of teaching and caring for Christopher.

I think that the film gives a real life story of autism that you might not get from the book. The book is good at explaining how good autistic kid is at writing a book and shows how their minds work. In the movie it shows how Henry goes into his own world just like Christopher does when he is on the train to his mother's house. I believe that Henry is very much like Chris, they both go into their own worlds, they are very knowledgeable about certain things, they do not like a lot of people in one area at one time. Both boys are in special classes but they are very knowledgeable to be in regular classes but their schools will not let them be with normal kids. Autistic kids have a very good memory at times, for example in the book Chris is out in the country with his family for the weekend and he counts how many cows he sees and how many miles it is from town to town. In the book he can remember the date of when they went out into the countryside.

   The film of Autism: the Musical helps me understand a lot about the character Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. The film showed us how an autism child behavior with other people; and they also like to be left in their own world. In the being of the book I did not understand why Christopher would act the way he does. For example the when Christopher was have a discussion about his mother dead he was talk about her like she was not even his mother. I was think if I was him I couldn’t think I would able talk about my mother the way Christopher does. Christopher was just give us the fact how his mother had heart attack. I was think Christopher was not normal child, because he was lacking of emotions when it came to his own mother dead. The film helps me to see more about Christopher character come to life. I can say all the kids that are in the film have some kind comparable to Christopher character. For example Henry has a passion for dinosaurs, for Christopher it will be math and numbers. I can also see Neal character in Christopher because they both have behavior problem. Wyatt also has the same kind of behavior as Christopher, for example when Wyatt was talk about his classmate and how he do not like being in class with them. It illustrate his lacked of emotions same as Christopher character. Now I understand why Christopher character do the things he do, and how it’s not weird to me anymore.

Send Christoper to the musical!

The movie Autism: The Musical helped me understand Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time much better. I saw Christopher in more than one character. The first character that remind me of Christopher was Henry. Henry was cute but he has an obsession over Dinosaurs and he knew almost everything about them. He always spoke about Dinosaurs. Christopher didn’t speak much about Dinosaurs, but he spoke about math, stars, science, and things that an average person would never think about or know. I feel Henry and Christopher are alike because they are both gifted and intelligent. The second character from the movie that reminded me of Christopher was Neal. When Neal was at the park he pulled a little boy, and the boy fell and hurt himself. In the book, Christopher tells us about an incident where he hurts a girl and she had to go to the hospital. Also in the movie Neal gets a bit upset when his mother was laughing because he thought she was laughing at him. Christopher too does not like when people laugh at him as he says in chapter 67. Also Christopher doesn’t like looking at people’s faces when he is talking to them, like both Neal and Henry (chapter 67). The movie made me want to work with autistic children and help them. It also made me look at Christopher in another way. He is just a child that is lost in a big world. I still can’t believe that the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is not autistic!

summary

my paper was about the reasons why the current president couldnt and probalably cant help the economy all by him self. the problem has been going on for at least 20 something years now and the past presidents have contributed to this and and now he is expected to fix it in 4 years or it will be over for his reputation. i believe that he took the hardest job in the world becasue of the fact that he has a alot to do in so little time. he had to try and fix the health insurance issue, the housing market isssue, and the stock market and on top of all this he had to worry about the the oil leak in the gulf and this just added to the work load he was given.

Broken Wing

 As  As humans we tend to judge people by own standards, if we want people to accept us, a lot of time we unconsciously measure others and see if they are like us. We never look beyond the picture we see a lot of times. For example if there is a handicap in our class, the majority of us won’t associate with him/her and the ones that do associate with them a lot of times do it out of kindness not because they sincerely want to know the individual. From my own experience living with my brother I learned that there’s more to what we see. As humans we should think more deeply of people and how they are. If there’s a person you know who isn’t like you, maybe he doesn’t have a leg, arm, or eye don’t judge him automatically and put him aside rather get to him, you never know he could be the friend you’ve always wanted.  My experience with my little brother taught me that they are people out there who isn’t like me and that I shouldn’t judge people from how they look like. Would you want someone to judge you when you need help?

It will Always be Someone Else's Fault.

How often do you either hear someone put the blame on someone else for their own mistakes or you yourself blame someone else? Either of which sadly happen with all of us at some point or more in our lives, whether it's either one or both. Yes, it is right to stand up for our own mistakes but you know people will be more lenient to just drop the blame on someone else to make them look better. I always think of times that could of been different if I didn't have to do something for someone else or if someone wasn't there and so on. It just runs through my head but I don't go to the extent of fully putting the blame on someone else, at least not anymore. I think that we get this so called "trait" in our childhood. How many times can you think of when you saw two kids arguing saying it's each other's fault. Unfortunately there are still some people out there that still don' t know that it is wrong for some lord only knows reason. People will always be getting blamed in our society for things they don't do. Whether they get away with it or not it is still wrong in my book.

Living in united state is the mostly great country in the world. When I coming this country I was so excited. But when u see how life is different I never thought that I will not got school bus while I’m in the united state. When u live out the country and when u hears about how people complain u will though that what people went because they are in and they should said than god. But that was my idea before I come to this country. Now I got the point that they was talking about. Living in the united state and not having school was my experience.
