Week 10：Akeelah and the Bee (2)

　　Akeelah went to Javier's birthday party and became the main rival of Dylan in Scrabble. Few days after, Akeelah went to the region bee without her mother's permission and caught by her mom while the competition.  After a long discussion and argument, Akeelah's mom finally agreed her to go back to the stage, and with the help of Javier, Akeelah went back to the stage on time. Javier, Dylan, and Akeelah won the region bee and all of them had a chance to go to the national bee in Washington D.C. While Dr. Larabee was training Akeelah, he thought of his late daughter and he taught Akeelah that he would stop training Akeelah and left her some word notes. What's worse, since Akeelah had become the focus of the press, she ignored her best friend which made her best friend angry. Akeelah felt terrible; she told her mom that she didn't want to go to the national bee without Dr. Larabee and her best friend. Akeelah's mother encouraged her that she should not give up when facing difficulties. After her mother's encouragement, Akeelah found that everyone could be her couch and she plucked up her courage to ask her best friend and Dr. Larabee to go the national bee with her. At the end of the story, both Akeelah and Dylan won the national bee.

　　

　　It was really a inspiring story which taught me that we should always be positive and should conquer any difficulty facing in life. It's always easy to give up; however, only after people try to conquer something, the final success will come.

　　I really like the movie because in the movie, I saw a eleven-year-old African-American girl who plucked up her courage to attain a competition which might made her laughed by her peers. She was amazingly courageous that she asked for help from others and tried to find answers. Even though the environment against her, she never quit and won the national bee in the end.

　　The movie made me think of my own experience. Sometimes I suffer from the hardship in daily life and I think about quit easily. I think I should learn the spirit of Akeelah to ask for help before quit and to try my best before feeling upset.
