Text resistance and Movie resistance

    Text resistance and Movie resistance can be very similar but at the same time different. I go through resistance through both. 
    Movie resistance and Book resistance are different because of how simple it is to keep away from the resistance. Movies are hard to resist from the parts you want to resist because you can miss alot of what is happening Books are easier to resist what you wish, simply skip the page or just the paragraph, without missing to much of the story.
Another way that movie resistance and book resistance is different is because of how you picture it. Movies you actually see, hear it. Books you have to picture/imagine it and every one's imagination is different from the others.
    Movies and Book resistance can also be similar. They can be similar because they feeling it gives you. Movies might add some music to show the feelings and books will add many words or pictures but yet they will feel the same way. I feel that if i read a book and there is a part I resist, i will feel the same way with the movie. Its like two different people mixing to different formulas but getting the same results.
    Therefore movies and books are different. Also similar. Movies are hard to keep away from the part you resist and books sometimes are easier. Movies are easier to imagine what is happening, and books are harder. There also similar. You can feel the resistance in a movie and feel it the same way as a book.

A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer

    This book was so depressing and interesting that I have to make a blog post on it. A very intense book about a young boy who has been abused by his mother. This book was touching and heartbreaking to hear these stories about this boy being abused by his own mother and his older brothers to watch. 
    One reason the book was sad to me was Dave's dream. His dream was for his father to stick to his promise which is to save him from this hell hole of a house. But it never came true. Sometimes when someone makes me a promise i would get sad about them breaking it, but a promise that serious would be terrible to break.
    Another reason why this book i thought this book was extremely sad. Is because it was a true story. I know many people have experience abuse but not all of then experienced writing a book about it. This story was sad to begin with but knowing it was a true story made me beyond sad. Sad because this little innocent boy has experience beatings that no kid should ever be beaten. A spank or a timeout is one thing. But making your child eat poop, drowning him, smacking him poisoning him, Starving him and not loving him is a different story. A complete different story. 
    The last reason i thought this book was sad was because no one has done anything to help him for a long time. The teachers knew, some adult suspected it. But he was helped many years later. Which is terrible timing. But a great way to make a dramatic story about it. Noticing in alot of book/movies that usually when some one is getting abused it takes them a long to  for them to express what is happening to them.
    Therefore the book A child called "it" is a very sad story.It is sad because Dave pelzer (The author) is the main character (Meaning its a true story). Its also sad because Dave yes been abused in the book for many years and no one was there to help him. The main reason it was sad because of his dream which didn't come true.
