Favorite movie!

My all time hands down no questions asked favorite movie has got to be Dreamworks: How to Train Your Dragon. The actual storyline is very childish, it is about a small village of dragon fighting vikings who are constantly having to battle against unfriendly Dragons. then a small awkward child named Hiccup comes along, tames a dragon and eventually the dragons and vikings become friends. I enjoy the movie so much because of the witty humor, the cute animation, overall moral and the ability I have to relate. There are two scenes that really make this movie for me. The first being when Hiccup is drawing in the dirt with a stick and the dragon decides he wants to try to, so it grabs a tree and starts dragging it all over the ground. The camera starts going up for an ariel view and I had the sinking feeling in my stomach that it was going to be a beautiful picture, but it ends up just being a bunch of random loops and squiggles. The second scene that made this movie is one of the last, where after the climactic battle Hiccup wakes up in his bed to find he has lost his leg. He tries to get out of bed, almost falls over but is supported by his dragon, you then see them both walking out, a boy with one leg and a dragon with one half of a tail, the boy needed the dragons help to walk, the dragon needed the boys help to fly.

Progresso


Thus far my issues paper is going swimmingly, I have happened upon several scholarly articles which are just goldmines of information and I have been doing great ever since. The hardest part for me is deciding what should be in there and what is not so pertinent, but I will get it eventually!
