Beginning Middle End

There is always a beginning, middle, and end. For instance, in the movie "Finding Nemo,"in the beginning, it started off with Nemo's dad and his wife, but then she died after she had her babies. Nemo, one of the babies, grew up without a family, so he only had his dad. Then in the middle, Nemo and his dad were swimming in different places and left their home. Then, toward the end, Nemos dad lost him and nemo was sent to a pet shop where a girl was going to take him, but luckily through all the conflict that occurred in the movie, nemo was able to return to his dad and go home. They have learned through their consequences. In this movie, it showed  a great example of a beginning, middle, and end because it starts off with happiness that is destroyed by the conflict. Same goes for the middle and end. We are able to describe what really is going on through the transition.

Conflict

I think it is funny that I get so dissapointed when I watch a movie that suddenly makes the scenes sad by including conflict within it. But I then thought: If there was no conflict then I would not be expecting anything interesting to arise. A movie that has conflict is “The Last Song” when Ronnie sees her dad after a long time but does not speak to him because he and her mother divorced. That is conflict because she is a young girl who does not understand conflict itself. She begins to find herself and speak to her dad again when she experiences much more conflict throughout her life.

Conflict in life:
When I found out that my grandma had cancer and just 6 months to live, I blamed everything. I blamed myself for not noticing my grandmas skin tone change, or her slow movement. I was so caught up in the moment of thinking that I had my family under my wings that instead I lost focus on my grandmas health. Till this day, a year later, I have realized that everything happens for a reason. Maybe in the beginning the conlflict is horrible, but that leads us to learning and understanding the true meaning of life which is to be positive and just hope for the best.

Conflict for a film:
