assignment #11 smoke signals

Smoke signals:




The Lone Ranger and Tanto a fist fight in heaven was a very inspirational and intelligent film. It taught me about team work, how to deal with loss of a loved one, and how to become a stronger person. I learned to forgive, how to learn from hardships and to accept what is given to me, whatever it may be.

I learned about team work. As Thomas, one of the main characters did everything he could for victor, another character, but victor never gave anything back until. I believe it was the beginning of the end, victor finally saw what good of a person Thomas was, is when he finally gave back. That taught me that to receive something you want you must also give. Nothing comes to bad selfish people and those kinds of people only hurt others. Also that just because you’re angry inside doesn’t mean its okay to let out your anger on someone whom is trying to help you.

I learned thought out the movie that life is never 100 percent as you planned. That you never know what’s going to happen and that life is so beautiful because it is unpredictable, full of secrets and in time makes you strong after all the tragedies, good times or bad you must face. I learned that forgiveness is the best cure for the most horrendous wound. I learned that forgiveness is the step you need to take to forget or accept and move on. For this, I thank Sherman Alexie. I never had the strength or guidance to forgive many who’ve hurt me but, now I’ve moved on from many tragedies and I’ve forgiven many. I’ve grown more and became much stronger.

The film taught me how to cope with the loss of a loved one. It influenced my feelings I had and helped me reconstruct all the broken pieces of my heart and soul. It helped me realize that I’ll never forget about my uncle, his death, or about the horrible offender but that with time I’ll forgive and understand why. It gave me hope that things will get better. It helped me receive closure and relief. I believe in a higher power now. I believe that someone, something, took my uncle for a reason, a reason still not clear to me.

I have so far, acknowledged that my uncle is gone for a reason, that good comes to those who wait and believe, that evil people will get what they deserve, I believe in karma and most importantly I believe in myself, I believe I can move on and live happier.

The lone ranger and tanto a fist fight in heaven, smoke signals, has helped me in different ways and has influenced my life deeply. I’m a stronger more knowledgeable person now and would recommended this film to everyone and anyone
