Superior Position

Although hardest to incorporate into a movie, superior position is one of the best elements to include in a movie because it keeps the audience on their toes. A movie in which this happens is The Last Song. In this movie, Ronnie is visiting her dad on vacation. She doesnt know, however, that her dad had recently been involved in a fire for which he was blamed for. This fire, along with her dad inside the church, were shown in the begunning so we know that he was there. Later on, there is even more superior position when we see a conversation between Ronnies boyfriend and his bestfriend about this night at the church. They, apparently, were the ones to blame for the fire and they tell Ronnies dad. Ronnie, though, is oblivious to all this until she overheard other neighbors talking about the incident

Beginning, Middle, and End

All movies have beginnings, middles, and ends. However, a movie that I really like that has a clear beginning, middle, and end is A Walk to Remember. In this movie Jamie  is a very innocent, preachers daughter. She finds herself constantly being harassed by Landon and his group of friends. Landon is a trouble maker who gets caught by the police trespassing and is forced to act in The school play, in which, coincidentally, Jamie also acts. In the middle they practice their lines and slowly fall in love. The end, though sad, is a great one. Jamie dies of leukemia; however Landon, the school bad boy end up in med school, surprising his whole family. Everyone's lifes beginning is their birth, the middle is their whole life, and, unfortunately, the end is their death

Undeserved Misfortune

Undeserved misfortune is when a character, usually the protagonist, experiences something horrible that  they for no reason deserved. An example of this in a movie is in my all-time favorite movie, Frozen. Anna and Elsa are both shown to be innocent little girls. Else is cursed with her powers to freeze thing. Elsa never did anything wrong prior to the curse to have gotten it. Another example of undeserved misfortune in Frozen is when Anna is struck with Elsa's power to freeze and falls to the ground. The innocent little girl who was previously playing freely can no longer even move for quite some time. Her sister also is not allowed to play with her because she can hurt her again. Both of them experience undeserved misfortune.

Welcome to My Nightmare

Have you ever had one of those dreams that is so real that you feel like what happened to you in it actually happened in real life? You actually feel pain, smell the blood, and hear the traffic. You even wake up crying from these dreams. Well this happened to me with a nightmare, that too many would seem silly. Because I have a phobia of dogs, their appearance in my dreams are never pleasant. In this particular dream I dreamt that I was on my way to the store with my brother and his friend. On our way there we saw a dog approaching us in the middle of the street, and, like many people would do, my brother called it over. I began panicking as the dog went around my brother and came directly to me. In fear, i went on top of the car parked nearest to me and then jumped off and ran back to my house. to my horror, the dog followed me into my house. I started crying to my mom and right when the dog ran inside my house i woke up in tears.
