Room Book Review & Movie Review

Image result for room movie

Book: This book was incredible, i loved it. It meant a lot for me just because i really related to the mom in this book... her experience with rape was heartbreaking and her journey through recovery was eye opening in so many ways. Without spoiling too much of the book and the movie i want to talk about the kid in this story, Jack. This is a great book for everyone i believe to read... it deals with tough issues but a lot of this is profound and should be explored more. Jack is such a charismatic young boy who is troubled at times.. but growing up in that type of environment could cause major damage to this young boys developmental growth.. since everything was done out of survival you can only applaud the mom and jack for both of their own personal bravery stories. Throughout this whole book you get captured yourself into their lives and you start wondering exactly, what would you personally do if in a situation like this? This book was mind boggling.. i didn't want the story to end because the ending was a perfect ending, it was bittersweet and i wanted more which i think is the perfect way to end off any book... with the reader wanting more.  
Movie: The movie itself was very enjoyable and between the book and the movie, they kept true to a lot and there's some areas where i felt like the movie rushed more on what the book focused on most. I don't want to put any spoilers out there, but if you view it for yourself obviously it will be a different experience. I'm glad i was able to view it though, the little boy who acted as jack in this movie is an incredible boy... he was phenomenal in his performance and his delivery of the character... he really made me believe that this happened in real life and that this isn't just a movie, it's something that he had to struggle with.. and the same goes for Brie Larson.. she was amazing i really enjoyed her perspective in the movie... there was a lot more to her than just being cranky and the movie showed a lot more sides to her which i thought was an excellent move. I enjoyed both the book and the movie but ultimately i feel like i enjoyed the book more.. even though the movie was sooooo close. A lot of people might agree with the judgment of " The book is usually better than the movie" and for this experience i throughly enjoyed the book, but i really enjoyed the movie as well although there were some missing points.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time.  My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Eighth Grade Movie Review: No Spoilers

I watched this movie with my friend not too long ago and i didn't know what my expectations were for the movie but i just went with it and i'm really glad i did because this was such an amazing movie. First off i'm familiar with the director Bo Burnham, i've loved both of his comedy specials that he's had on netflix and i still till this day every so often go back and want to watch them over again. I like his sense of humor, it's daunting and hilarious and that's what i felt about this movie. Eighth grade in real life i would say would be close to what Kayla has to deal with, in terms of self discovery and confidence. Eighth grade for me was not a great time, i wanted to fit into a lot of crowds even though really i was an outsider at heart, i was never cool in any of grades of school, i hung out mostly with boys because girls would often make fun of me and just not want to hang out with me at all so i had to make new friends and the boys just really ...

Firewatch Game Review

Firewatch was phenomenal. So Firewatch is a first person mystery adventure game and you play as Henry and explore a lookout area by quests given by Delilah who is your supervisor.. things get interesting when weird experiences start happening around you. For me this game was able to make me feel like all the stress i had went away, because i focused my time on literally escaping within this game and it felt therapeutic. The colors and scenery of this game were incredible and made it that more enjoyable for me. I really recommend this to anyone, it's easy enough to play and understand once you get used to using a map in the game. It's story driven so it feels very intimate overall. I don't want to give too much away of what this game is because if someone would like to experience this for themselves i would encourage them to do so because playing this game i think will give you a new perspective of certain issues in relationships... that's all i want to say for no...
