The Age of Adaline Exposition: The film begins with the introduction of the protagonist who is Adaline, a woman who had a family made up of her husband and her daughter Fleeming, but one day her husband died. Later, Adaline suffers a car accident and dies, but after a storm, lightning strikes her car and revives her.

Practicing Zuihitsu

  1. Things that are frightening: Some things that I consider scary  are,  for  example,  spiders, since when I was a child there were always spiders in my room and one day one of those spiders was on my leg and it scared me a lot.

"Hacksaw Ridge" 1. The hero:  The hero of this movie is called Desmond Doss, who was a faithful Christian and managed his life according to religion or the 10 commandments. He came from a family where his father was a violent and alcoholic figure due to certain traumas after having taken part in the war. He was a humble, caring and deeply passionate person. He used to help his family and he had a brother who he accidentally hurt after a fight, so he was traumatized and swore never to carry or use weapons. He was a simple and very romantic man. He loved the forest and being in contact with nature.  2.The call to adventure:  One day Desmond felt the need to enlist for WWII as a paramedic, because he decided never to use or touch a weapon ever. His parents did not agree but he did not care since he felt that it was a duty imposed by God to help people.

He is a character that  stands for  the "avatar" who was the most powerful being on earth who would keep the peace of the 4 Nations and dominate the 4 elements that were water, air, fire, and earth. He, along with his friends, embarks on a journey in search of learning the elements since he only knew how to be an  airbender  and restore peace to the world.
