At the meeting we talk about who will have what roles and what we like about the things we did last week and we went around and told how we felt. The week before we went around the building and looked at places that we could put things to make the school more beautiful.
but over all the first two meeting were very productive and fun even though we were talking a lot and some people got switched to ms.Thompson group.

Empire of the Sun

The two characters I am going to be talking about are Jim and Jamie. These two people are played by the same person but at different times in his life. He changes his life style to adapt to the conditions his life is put in when World War II starts and he loses everything he use to hold dear and near to him.

In the beginning of the movie Jamie is this spoiled rich kid who does and gets what ever he wants he has his whole life ahead of him. His parents are there for him and he is curious of all the surrounding around him. He has servants and he is waited on hand and foot. He doesn’t do anything for himself. His house is a mansion and he has his own room and plenty of money. He doesn’t have a care in the world.

By the end of the movie he has changed his name to Jim and has to survive in the world without his mother and father. He does find friendship in a man named Basie, but he is mostly independent and he is very strategic. He learns to trade things and he also wants to be an American, which was obviously the most powerful group in the interment camps. He forms his own family and has his own morals, which helps him to become strong during his time of need.

When the war is over he is faced with the hard decisions.
The American soldiers come and take him to an orphanage where
He sees his parents and they look exactly as they had when he had lost them in the crazy war, but he had changed entirely inside and out his own father didn’t notice him.
