Students, writers, and professionals have to plan out projects to avoid missing deadlines and to reduce stress. For the most part, many people procrastinate.

Writing tip for the day 10/18/09
The writing tip for the day is to explore history. Find one piece of history that you find interesting; write a 1-2 page assessment on how you can relate your interests to this moment in history. This writing tip of the day will briefly explore the value of history in the writing process.
The history channel seasons their viewers with historical people, time, civilizations, and other interesting content. In listening to the narrator speak of history, the writing always seem to be perfected in such a way increases that it increases the oxygen levels within the brain. The exciting history perspectives are useful for assisting both students and writers with defeating time management issues.
The main reason people fail in the writing process is because of impossible demands. Many times an instructor expects their students to conduct extensive research, even knowing that the process is sure to compete with personal and financial obligations.
The history channel offers an escape from a stressful society. Moreover, history invigorates the mind to change the accustomed, and repetitive boredom that drags down the writing process.
I would recommend watching the exclusive show, "Life without People, Population 0." Write an assessment about the series; include what you think of life, what complicates it, and how the world would change without humans. You don't have to be too critical in making the assessment.
Once you complete the 1-2 page assessment on the show or series, make an attempt to write whatever has eluded you before the history activity. I'm confident that exposing your mind to history will assist you with the writing process. Thank for your reading the writing tip of the day.
Use your fascination with history to become a more effective writer.

The Writing Tip for the day 10/12/09
The writing tip of the day is to determine the credibility of a web site. Students face a dilemma with what identifies a credible web site. Academic papers require credible web sites to ensure information is peer reviewed.
How do you determine the credibility of a web site? Government and education sponsored web sites are always credible. COM websites lack credibility because any person can make an assessment, even using the content to manipulate information.
One major factor determines the credibility of a web site - whether it makes profit or not. Whenever a web site makes profit, they will influence an audience to believe specific points, but also leaving them in the dark.
In order to find credible articles. Google Scholar is one those reliable web sites that have a collection of credible medical articles and books. Before instructors discredit COM web sites, students need to research the sponsoring site body.
Evaluating a web site for it's credibility requires specific steps to identify credible sources. Credible sources improve the quality of a research, term, or any other type of paper.

Writing tip of the day 9/22/09
The writing tip for the day is to work on time management skills. Society is constantly racing around without having a sense of time. Try to schedule in writing sessions, but do so without making the process feel like a job. This writing tip for the day will confront time management issues that influence the writing process.
Do you feel that time is never on your side? I'm sure that time sensitive issues are rather common issue in everyday life. How can you work on having better time management skills to complete projects?
I found that setting a deadline to an early date helps in the writing process. Additionally, scheduling in fun events disciplines the mind to identify writing as being something fun. Try to condition your mind to stave off procrastination through pushing aside time to write.
Reward yourself for completing a project before a projected deadline. Take for instance; if you complete a project ahead of time, treat yourself out to dinner or purchase some of your wants. Our wants usually take a back seat to relevant needs.
Time management skills influence money, reputations, integrity, and many other important aspects in life. Set goals to deliver projects on a given date. Break down the writing process into steps - assigning a schedule to complete sections of the paper.
When writing a paper, try to avoid being too perfect. Perfectionist traits tend to interfere with the writing process. Open up your mind to making mistakes. You always have the revision process to clean up problem areas within your paper.
In order to strengthen time management skills, a person must understand the root of their time issues. Assess your procrastination woes through using a critical eye. Don't hold back on constructive criticism. Self-analyze your time issues to better your time management skills. Thank you for reading the writing tip of the day.
Remember; Disciplining time will mold a person into a reliable clock.
Have fun utilizing your time to meet writing deadlines.

other investment that surpasses knowledge.

Writing tip for the day 9/12/09
The writing tip for the day is to visit a museum. It doesn't have to be one of those modern art museums that charge you an admission fee. Any museum will do just fine. This writing tip will increase your interest for history. If you're not already a history buff, then you will find a museum an exciting part of your day.
While driving to Northern California to visit my family, I always see a Railroad Museum off the side of the road. Even though the museum is approximately 7 miles from my parent's home, I can never find the time to stop there. Maybe next time, near the holiday season, I will take the time to visit the railroad museum.
In 2005, my fiance and I went on a cross-country road trip to deliver her dog to her parents out in Orlando, Florida. We drove from San Jose, Ca to Orlando, Florida in four days. It was a really nice to see other States' outside of California. As we passed through Arizona, I saw this dinosaur museum park I wanted to visit.
Due to the lack of time, we had to continue on out journey. We didn't have the time to visit Roswell, New Mexico. Time is always a factor in our busy life. We have to drop off the dog, and then fly back home because of college final exams. There are so many time that I just wanted to go on a journey, out to a place that I have never seen before.
Tomorrow, if I can find time, I want to visit a lighthouse. With being out in California, we have a rich tradition in Spanish style lighthouses. Many of the lighthouses were made in the 1700-1800's. If you live near the coast, visit Google, and type in lighthouses for your State. I'm sure that you will find one near your home. You may have to take a drive, but it will be worth well the trip. Lighthouses have the museum feel to them.
In Pasadena, there is a nice Southwestern museum there. It's an Indian museum that has a historical feel to it. Every museum gives a person that historical vibe. I appreciate, and value the importance of history.
New York City has many nice museums that are praised in the art community. San Francisco also takes pride in their history. They have the Legion of Honor Museum. In addition, the cable car museum features old out-of-commission cable cars.
If you live in Southern California, go out to Long Beach to visit the Queen Mary. Though they say the ship is haunted, don't be afraid of the stories unless you feel a tap, or hear a voice. The haunted tours are fun, and informational. Enjoy the historical element of the ship itself. The Queen Mary was used in World War II to transfer soldiers.
The most exciting museums to visit are ones that are in Europe. I always wanted to go out to Italy, France, and England. Virgin Airlines has these great package deals that take on a multi-city tour through the most popular cities in Europe. You will find the most exquisite artwork in the world there.
Egypt is be one of the most fascinating places on Earth because it holds thousands of years of history. If you can't visit Egypt, then check out one of those IMAX theaters that show Egypt from within. Visiting the Great Pyramids would be a dream experience. Read some literature on Egypt; ask your mind to take you on an adventure through the pyramids. Egypt is one of those places that you have to visit. I would put it on my Top 10 list of things to do before you die.
If you have the luxury of doing so, go on a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Visit all of the ports to witness the mesmerizing shrines, pyramids, and the history of Mexico. In art classes, I used to view slides of Pre-Colombian Art. Imagine if you had the ability to witness it in person. There is plenty of museums in most of the ports. Be sure that you stay close with your group. Don't wonder off with any stranger. Taking a cruise is a valuable. I still have yet to go on a cruise.
I enjoyed studying art in college. I always ventured outside of the film core classes to take art. As a writer, you have to adopt your visual senses in producing creative work. Many times our classes had to go on art trips. We never ventured outside of the State, only to the nearest museum to gather material for a term paper. I value the art classes for what it does for the mind - increase visual perception.
Take the time out of your busy schedule, and make a trip to any museum. The focus of the exercise is to see the history that comes along with history. Museums have a unique way of piecing together the grandest artwork, and the rarest artifacts to bring history to life.
If you can't find time to visit a museum, go downtown, and walk around in the shops there. Make sure to bring your digital camera along with you. I would recommend you have at least a 2gb+ memory card, and a backup battery. Take pictures of the downtown.
When you arrive back on home, write a fact piece about the history of the place. Think about the historical importance of the museum, or historical significance of the location. The writing exercise will give you the ability capture history through your own imagination Instead of reading, watching, or hearing about history, you can live the moment within your mind. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.
Have fun going on your journey to discover history in museum. Remember; Discover the passion for history in your mind - live the experience in your heart.

The most exciting museums to visit are ones that are in Europe. I always wanted to go out to Italy, France, and England. Virgin Airlines has these great package deals that take on a multi-city tour through the most popular cities in Europe. You will find the most exquisite artwork in the world there.
Egypt is be one of the most fascinating places on Earth because it holds thousands of years of history. If you can't visit Egypt, then check out one of those IMAX theaters that show Egypt from within. Visiting the Great Pyramids would be a dream experience. Read some literature on Egypt; ask your mind to take you on an adventure through the pyramids. Egypt is one of those places that you have to visit. I would put it on my Top 10 list of things to do before you die.
If you have the luxury of doing so, go on a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. Visit all of the ports to witness the mesmerizing shrines, pyramids, and the history of Mexico. In art classes, I used to view slides of Pre-Colombian Art. Imagine if you had the ability to witness it in person. There is plenty of museums in most of the ports. Be sure that you stay close with your group. Don't wonder off with any stranger. Taking a cruise is a valuable. I still have yet to go on a cruise.
I enjoyed studying art in college. I always ventured outside of the film core classes to take art. As a writer, you have to adopt your visual senses in producing creative work. Many times our classes had to go on art trips. We never ventured outside of the State, only to the nearest museum to gather material for a term paper. I value the art classes for what it does for the mind - increase visual perception.
Take the time out of your busy schedule, and make a trip to any museum. The focus of the exercise is to see the history that comes along with history. Museums have a unique way of piecing together the grandest artwork, and the rarest artifacts to bring history to life.
If you can't find time to visit a museum, go downtown, and walk around in the shops there. Make sure to bring your digital camera along with you. I would recommend you have at least a 2gb+ memory card, and a backup battery. Take pictures of the downtown.
When you arrive back on home, write a fact piece about the history of the place. Think about the historical importance of the museum, or historical significance of the location. The writing exercise will give you the ability capture history through your own imagination Instead of reading, watching, or hearing about history, you can live the moment within your mind. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.
Have fun going on your journey to discover history in museum. Remember; Discover the passion for history in your mind - live the experience in your heart.
Writing tip for the day 9/11/09
The writing tip for the day is to take a walk with a book. Set some time aside to go walking down a trail, around the block, to the store, or to any other place that is relaxing. Walking is good for the mind. Intrapersonal learners use exercise as an outlet to think about their problems. Try to only think about the walk. Make sure you bring a book along with you.
Why is it good to go out for a walk with a book? Think about all the distraction you have at home. Where is there any time to sit down and read a book? The moment you find some quiet time, another challenge or an obstacle enters your space. Reading a good book seems to be an impossible task. You notice that consider reading a task.
With the way that we operate in life, every activity appears like a task. Going out for a relaxing moment is something looked as being selfish. Please find the time to go out for a walk. Bring a good book with you. You owe it to yourself to relax. You have earned it. Don't feel selfish about talking a walk. Life will still function without you for an hour, or however long it takes to make the journey.
In taking a walk, your mind can focus on the nice breeze, the fresh air, and the book. You don't have to go out for a hike. A nice brisk walk will do just fine. The most important companion on the trip will be the book. It will be the only companion that is not going to argue with you. The book is not going to tell you that you're wrong, or that you need to do something in a certain way. The only affection the book is acting for is to have its pages turned once in a while.
Make sure the book is a relaxation story try to avoid taking your work along with you. You have all work to deal with your office work and college assignments. This walk is for you, and you only. Imagine the story, focus on the setting, and visualize it. Now add sounds and dialogue to the setting. Think of the smell. The way things feel in the setting. Can you taste food? Find your most favorite dish, and enjoy it.
Make sure you do this exercise while in a safe area. Don't endanger yourself. I urge you to do this activity. Yes, it's an activity, and not a task. After you take this walk, write a 1 page journal entry about how clear your mind feels. What is it that you enjoyed most about the walk? You should be relaxed enough to reflect on the book. I assure you that retaining information while exercising is much easier than trying to do it in a stressful environment. Thank you for reading the daily writing tip.
Have fun reading and walking. This may be the most relaxing moment of your week because it only involves yourself. You just have to please yourself.

Writing tip of the day 9/10/09
The writing tip for the day is to visit a bookstore (Barnes & Noble or Border) to read an interesting body of work (novel, magazine, writing, etc). I find bookstores to be most interesting because of the social gatherings there. This writing tip of the day will explore communication in a bookstore.
While reading a body of writing, listen to some various conversations - it's not eves-dropping in a critical sense. Try to detect whether the conversations are close relationships or onetime occurrences. Analyzing relationships, verbal communication, listening, and body language will help you write better. Why?
A screenwriter, novelist, and any other writer needs to describe people. They have to do so using visual cues that suggest a particular action. Screenwriters have to do more work analyzing character actions because they only have visuals, and some dialogue to work with in a script.
A screenwriter should avoid overusing sound in the action section. Including too much sound will push away from the main focus, influencing the direction of a script. Surely, action scripts have a ton of sound. But how can you reveal sounds without suggesting them?
In the action section, a writer can show an explosion using good description. Tell the reader what they're supposed to see in result of a particular action. If you want to mention that a tire falls off, the axle grinds on the cement, and the sparks ignite a gasoline sill, then you can imagine substitute sounds using action.
Scripts depend on invisible sounds, which allows a reader to imagine a sound. You also have the option to introduce sounds, but try to use alternate techniques to refrain from overusing sound.
What does all of the preceding information have to do with communication in a bookstore? Observing communication make writing more efficient. Jot down simple notes as if you're going to give a speech on communication in relationships.
During the writing process, reflect in the communication challenges, and relationships, which will switch your mind gears to accommodate character interaction. Having characters interact in such a way helps a writer determine close relationships versus onetime encounters.
Since some movie theaters are nearby bookstores, watch moviegoer couples interact with one another. If you have to, take notes in a little memo pad. The observation exercise assists one with identifying real-life communication in their simplest form.
Once you strengthen your ability to master communication in relationships, the new-found experience will lead you to writing multi-dimensional characters. Focus on listening, distractions, interruptions, and other aspects of communication to make a script, and or a story more realistic. A writer has to explore outside strategies to improve their writing techniques.
Purchasing writing books on how to improve writing, or listening to a lecture in what another writer does to write great stories may be somewhat useful, but going out there to experience real-life communication for yourself will do wonders for the writing process.
Remember to keep your distance. Every conservation has a proximity. As an observer, stay close enough to hear, but don't impose, or make it appear obvious you're listening to a conversation. Think of the exercise as a research study involving ways to improving communication in relationships - a communication study without subjects being aware of the occurrence. Thank you for reading the daily writing tip.

Writiting tip of the day 9/9/09
The writing tip of the day is to read Plato's Apology. Why should you read this piece? After reading Plato's eloquent work, I was able to write using a unique style. Reading philosophy will spark your creative abilities to inspire eloquent writing.
While philosophy may appear to be tedious, the analysis within the field has the ability to induce creativity. Philosophy conditions the subconscious mind into switching gears, making the conscious mind analyze an intended focus with a sense of purpose. Many people find writing to be boring because their mind associates the process as being an unbearable activity.
What if you can reprogram the mind to enjoying writing? Reading philosophical pieces will program the mind to accept writing as something enlightening to the mind. With the quality of writing and the constructive arguments in philosophy, you will find it east to improve your analytical skills. Having the ability to analyze creative work inspires the writing process.
Read Plato's Apology to find inspiration about being original. When you write, you will be able to write with a voice. It's like a musician reading a poem to improve their song writing skills. We don't have to imitate success of others, but instead we can learn to make our own journey. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.

Writing tip for the day 9/08/09
The writing tip for the day is to draw something you want most in life. You don't have to be an artist to take part in this activity. The goal of drawing your wants, desires, or pleasures in life is to explore the inner meaning of a dream. Investing time into sketching a dream image will build more value into going after success.
With every stroke of the drawing utensil, your vision becomes more clearer. After completing a sketched image, write a one page analysis on what moves you about the dream. Every person has a specific want in life. They know what makes them smile. What dreams inspire you most? Try to figure out what inspires you to live a dream.
My dream is to write films in Hollywood. Since 1994, everything that I have done in life has revolved around that specific goal. I find inspiration in every written word. I don't limit my writing to one specific area of writing because I know that screenwriters have to write for a more diverse audience than in the past. Why do I have a writing dream? In essence, I find motivation in inspiring others to chase after their dreams. Every person deserves to live a dream.
Analyzing the dream image from many different perspectives. Why do you want to live this dream? Do you know what it takes to accomplish the dream? Think of actual sleeping dreams you had in the past. The subconscious has the tendency to act on its like an intrapersonal entity carrying out activities without consulting the conscious mind. Try to merge the conscious and subconscious minds together to work as a team to accomplish a dream.
The mind understands the value of a dream. I picked up on drawing as an outlet away from writing. What I noticed about drawing is that it has the same power as writing. Any creative writer has ability to produce sketched images.
The drawing and analysis activity motivates one to chase after your dreams because they can imagine the dream. Drawing and writing about your dream conditions the mind to realize success. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.

Writing tip for the day 9/07/09
The writing tip for the day is to reflect on your journey. Take a moment to think about your accomplishments. If you feel that you have failed to accomplish anything, be positive that everything in life takes time. Writing is about know knowing, experiencing, and learning about a subject. This writing tip will help you learn about your future.
Many people take part in the writing process. Some enjoy it more than others while another batch of people despise the act of any writing activities. The process of writing is one that links to transformation. A writers need to know the story direction, as well as their own destination. One could identify the direction as being the journey, which uses a set of directions to guide one in a journey to uncover their hidden potential.
The unconscious mind is aware of what you want, but it refuses to make that information available. With putting your goals in perspective, your unconscious mind will share your desires within dreams. Focus on dreams as being a search engine, or even a GPS to guide you to the right destination. We spend too much time trying to figure out what we want. There is not enough planning involved; finding ways to make your wants a reality. People are not selfish for wanting to accomplish dreams.
Dreams have the ability to transform an ordinary person into a success story. Some people assume that people have to be smart, have ideal physical characteristics, and need to know someone successful. Another group may suggest that hanging out with successful people helps one to program success into their mind.
Wealthy people tend to be portrayed in the Hollywood films such as Titanic as being boring elitists - discussing politics, investments, and money during every given moment. Wealthy people understand the system of success. Some fall into success overnight, and others have to work hard to spread their vision. Remember; live life for your own dreams, don't misfire on success due to outside influences.
What is the goal of this writing activity? Essentially, a person can't realize their success unless they understand the journey in reaching the destination. Any strong leader knows about journeys and destinations. They have single handedly carried each successful accomplishment into realizing their dreams. President Obama made the transformation from educator to being the first African American President of the United States. Every dream is possible. Never place a limit on success.
Reflect on the accomplishments you have done to this point in your life. What have you learned in the process? Have you gained a perspective about life? Every accomplishment prepares a person to take on another challenge. A person that constantly fails may lose hope of the destination. It is important to know your destination.
Make the journey to capture to capture your dreams. Obstacles and challenges transform people from wanting a dream into one that is living a dream. The difference between a dream and success is accomplishments. Once a person accomplishes a dream, they feel successful. Not every dream will gain social attention. Go after a dream because you have a desire to make yourself happy.
After reflecting on your accomplishments, write down what you would like to accomplish in the near future. Plan short-term goals first to designate a starting point. Once you become comfortable with short-term goals, go after the long-terms success that awaits you. Write down any obstacles and potential challenges that may steer you off course, making the journey more challenging, and your negative thoughts more invasive. Settle down; enjoy the simple moments in life.
Every student, writer, professional, and person needs a sense of direction. They have to know what they want out of life. Writing down what you want is a start, but going after what it takes to accomplish a dream takes strategy. Map out your writing with the same system; beginning a journey, discussing the issues, and concluding with delivering your successful completion to a destination. Thank you for reading the daily writing tips.

Writing tip for the day 9/6/09
The writing tip of the day is to analyze a film using a critical eye. This writing activity will help a writer analyze the theme of a film. Many people watch film for action, an escape from reality, and for a number of various reasons. In this writing tip for the day, I plan to discuss Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire to confront life experiences as being the basis for maturity.
Slumdog Millionaire was widely received as being a great film because the theme pushed back from the act of selfishness. Many people tend to be selfish to the point they have refuse to help others. The film demonstrates what challenges and obstacles it takes to accomplish a dream. Every person should have a sense of purpose in life. People that don't appreciate the film mismanage the message of a dream. Jamal's dream never change from the moment; his goal is to find his true love Latika, after he loses her during each stage of his life - childhood, adolescents, and early adulthood.
People give up on love too easily, even abandoning relationships after a few obstacles. Jamal makes it known that his search for long is going to be the theme through the course of the film. Winning the show is a secondary goal that takes backseat to finding his soul-mate.
In the film's opening, the audience wonders how Jamal will win the money. They never think about Jamal's struggles, hie true love, and the passion he has for living life. After Jamal meets his true love for first time, then a new goal surfaces. Will Jamal be able to be with Latika? In essence, Jamal keeps losing Latika over-and-over again, but never gives up in trying to go after her.
In a waking life, people are not as focused as Jamal. They abandon goals because of money, outside influences, and are unable to formulate an opinion. It is common for one to want something because another has it. So does that mean one has to step over another to get something they think they deserve? Jamal has the ability to make decisions without relying on others. Life experiences, being open-minded, and using critical thinking helps a person rationalize life as they perceive it.
Having a cognitive perception is being able to analyze information without being forced into thinking a collective way. The media manipulates people because many assume that every piece of information is accurate. People are unable to use a cognitive perception to analyze the world, instead they latch onto mass thought.
Slumdog Millionaire was a great film because it used life experiences as a measure for maturity. In reading the screenplay, Boyle signed up because he recognized the strength of the message, noting that every game show answer has a beginning, middle, and end. The writing was done so well, maybe even too perfect, that the audience feels as if they are walking in Jamal's shoes, experiencing every every one of the obstacles to go after his dream - to find his true love.
People enjoy Slumdog Millionaire because Jamal focuses on love instead of being rich. Jamal experiences so much misfortune, but never uses his grave misfortunes as an excuse to failing life; he goes after what he wants in life. Jamal is able to move on after struggle without letting the world defeat him. He does so with courage, hope, and faith, never giving up on his dream to find Latika.
The film proves that cognitive abilities are learned through life experiences, and not because of age, or physical growth. Jamal relies on his life experiences to guide him from one challenge to another. One film ,in particular, delves into a life one leads without cognitive abilities.
In Penny Marshall's Big, Josh (played by Tom Hanks) struggles in the adult world. Even though he physical development suggests that he is an adult, he lacks the life experiences gained in adolescent development, ones that helps an adolescent to mentally function as an adult. Josh doesn't understand simple adult phrases such as "sleepover and pledge." Indeed, his mental frame of mind lack the cognitive abilities in critical thinking, reasoning, and life experience. Adolescence prepares an adolescent to make transition into the adult world.
Susan's ex-boyfriend treats Josh with the same manner as he was treated him in the first conference. Josh realizes that he needs more time to grow up as an adolescent to weather the challenges in being an adult, not just physically, but having mental preparedness to deal with adulthood - failure, making mistakes, and rejection.
The only positive traits Josh has is his manners, which is because he still has an adolescent mind. Most likely his parents taught him to be respectful to others. Adults have the tendency to rub off as being rude and immature because they are too stubborn, negative, critical, and have a whole slew of other problem that encourages negativity.
Josh's character was not ready to make the transition from being an adolescent to dealing with adult challenges. In time, he will have the opportunity to live his life, and gain valuable experiences to meet the challenges. On the opposing side, Jamal is not expected to be successful because he is from the Slums. The Inspectors mentions that most of the kids from the Slums are liars and cheats. Jamal is unlike other Slum kids due to his life experiences.
Jamal is passionate young man that care about the value of life. He followed a dream with his heart, going after happiness in the tune of love. Money never motivate him or even influence his desire to chase after his dreams. When Jamal won the money, all he could think of was Latika.
Any other person would be acting like a child - jumping up and down, yelling, screaming, and crying. After leaving the show, he sat down at the train station, looking unhappy and inspired. He didn't care that he was a millionaire. The only person on his mind was Latika, the true love that mattered most in his life.
A person that has a cognitive perception analyzes the plot, themes, emotional elements, and the intended message of a film. Critical film writing uses a different perceptual style than just looked at film for pure entertainment. Essentially, there is nothing is wrong with disliking a film for a complex plot.
The simple meaning in Slumdog Millionaire; Jamal becomes mature from his life experiences. Even without parents to raise him - guide him through life - he is still able to value love, relationships, has respect, and good manners. He is an honest young man that answers every question with an answer.
As a writer myself, I analyze the film differently for others. I went through many film college courses, and have written stories myself. After earning multiple degrees, and even serving in the military a decade ago, I acquired a majority of my maturity through the rigorous challenges of living life. Intense hardships have a way with making a person mature.
Maturity doesn't come with physical age, adulthood needs life experiences to promote mental growth - psychosocial conditions. A person doesn't have to be educated to be mature. Maturity is gained through measuring the will to defeat obstacles, which helps one realize the value of a dream. Jamal's love for Latika has no boundaries. He would have traveled to the ends of the Earth to find her.
Analyzing film using a critical eye builds a perception, which is useful for decoding themes and subplots within a film. Every film has a hidden message. Slumdog Millionaire has many themes; a few of theme most obvious themes consist of challenging love, life experiences, dreams, and maturity. Finding films that focus on personal interests and relevant issues will increase cognitive perception. Slumdog Millionaire is one of those rare films that has the power to inspire people to chase after their dreams.
You can use the critical film writing activity to analyze any body of work, further exploring diverse perspectives. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.

People give up on love too easily, even abandoning relationships after a few obstacles. Jamal makes it known that his search for long is going to be the theme through the course of the film. Winning the show is a secondary goal that takes backseat to finding his soul-mate.
In the film's opening, the audience wonders how Jamal will win the money. They never think about Jamal's struggles, hie true love, and the passion he has for living life. After Jamal meets his true love for first time, then a new goal surfaces. Will Jamal be able to be with Latika? In essence, Jamal keeps losing Latika over-and-over again, but never gives up in trying to go after her.
In a waking life, people are not as focused as Jamal. They abandon goals because of money, outside influences, and are unable to formulate an opinion. It is common for one to want something because another has it. So does that mean one has to step over another to get something they think they deserve? Jamal has the ability to make decisions without relying on others. Life experiences, being open-minded, and using critical thinking helps a person rationalize life as they perceive it.
Having a cognitive perception is being able to analyze information without being forced into thinking a collective way. The media manipulates people because many assume that every piece of information is accurate. People are unable to use a cognitive perception to analyze the world, instead they latch onto mass thought.
Slumdog Millionaire was a great film because it used life experiences as a measure for maturity. In reading the screenplay, Boyle signed up because he recognized the strength of the message, noting that every game show answer has a beginning, middle, and end. The writing was done so well, maybe even too perfect, that the audience feels as if they are walking in Jamal's shoes, experiencing every every one of the obstacles to go after his dream - to find his true love.
People enjoy Slumdog Millionaire because Jamal focuses on love instead of being rich. Jamal experiences so much misfortune, but never uses his grave misfortunes as an excuse to failing life; he goes after what he wants in life. Jamal is able to move on after struggle without letting the world defeat him. He does so with courage, hope, and faith, never giving up on his dream to find Latika.
The film proves that cognitive abilities are learned through life experiences, and not because of age, or physical growth. Jamal relies on his life experiences to guide him from one challenge to another. One film ,in particular, delves into a life one leads without cognitive abilities.
In Penny Marshall's Big, Josh (played by Tom Hanks) struggles in the adult world. Even though he physical development suggests that he is an adult, he lacks the life experiences gained in adolescent development, ones that helps an adolescent to mentally function as an adult. Josh doesn't understand simple adult phrases such as "sleepover and pledge." Indeed, his mental frame of mind lack the cognitive abilities in critical thinking, reasoning, and life experience. Adolescence prepares an adolescent to make transition into the adult world.
Susan's ex-boyfriend treats Josh with the same manner as he was treated him in the first conference. Josh realizes that he needs more time to grow up as an adolescent to weather the challenges in being an adult, not just physically, but having mental preparedness to deal with adulthood - failure, making mistakes, and rejection.
The only positive traits Josh has is his manners, which is because he still has an adolescent mind. Most likely his parents taught him to be respectful to others. Adults have the tendency to rub off as being rude and immature because they are too stubborn, negative, critical, and have a whole slew of other problem that encourages negativity.
Josh's character was not ready to make the transition from being an adolescent to dealing with adult challenges. In time, he will have the opportunity to live his life, and gain valuable experiences to meet the challenges. On the opposing side, Jamal is not expected to be successful because he is from the Slums. The Inspectors mentions that most of the kids from the Slums are liars and cheats. Jamal is unlike other Slum kids due to his life experiences.
Jamal is passionate young man that care about the value of life. He followed a dream with his heart, going after happiness in the tune of love. Money never motivate him or even influence his desire to chase after his dreams. When Jamal won the money, all he could think of was Latika.
Any other person would be acting like a child - jumping up and down, yelling, screaming, and crying. After leaving the show, he sat down at the train station, looking unhappy and inspired. He didn't care that he was a millionaire. The only person on his mind was Latika, the true love that mattered most in his life.
A person that has a cognitive perception analyzes the plot, themes, emotional elements, and the intended message of a film. Critical film writing uses a different perceptual style than just looked at film for pure entertainment. Essentially, there is nothing is wrong with disliking a film for a complex plot.
The simple meaning in Slumdog Millionaire; Jamal becomes mature from his life experiences. Even without parents to raise him - guide him through life - he is still able to value love, relationships, has respect, and good manners. He is an honest young man that answers every question with an answer.
As a writer myself, I analyze the film differently for others. I went through many film college courses, and have written stories myself. After earning multiple degrees, and even serving in the military a decade ago, I acquired a majority of my maturity through the rigorous challenges of living life. Intense hardships have a way with making a person mature.
Maturity doesn't come with physical age, adulthood needs life experiences to promote mental growth - psychosocial conditions. A person doesn't have to be educated to be mature. Maturity is gained through measuring the will to defeat obstacles, which helps one realize the value of a dream. Jamal's love for Latika has no boundaries. He would have traveled to the ends of the Earth to find her.
Analyzing film using a critical eye builds a perception, which is useful for decoding themes and subplots within a film. Every film has a hidden message. Slumdog Millionaire has many themes; a few of theme most obvious themes consist of challenging love, life experiences, dreams, and maturity. Finding films that focus on personal interests and relevant issues will increase cognitive perception. Slumdog Millionaire is one of those rare films that has the power to inspire people to chase after their dreams.
You can use the critical film writing activity to analyze any body of work, further exploring diverse perspectives. Thank you for reading the writing tip for the day.
Have fun analyzing a film using a critical eye.
