Transformation

Transformation is a fact of life. Everyone and everything will transform in one way or another throughout their lifetime, whether a person, a plant, you will take a form of transformation. I believe that I, at the age of 18, transformed in many ways.

Installment number nine was discussed today in class. The basis of the poem was transformation. We talked about the gods and goddess, how they can change themselves and people. In this poem they are both weaving pictures that resemble some form of transformation. Later after we had finished talking about the installment, we had an open discussion about transformation that we see today, in out modern society, considering that the poem that we just read was written in 1901.

There were many movies that were brought up, but one of them stuck out to me; little miss sun shine. This movie has a clear form of transformation in it.

In the movie Little Miss Sunshine, the transformation takes place with in the brother. This is a story of a family traveling across country. The family is not normal, well should I say not perfect. Each member of the family has their own issues, which is what makes this movie interesting. The brother is aware that everyone in his family has their problems so he has set himself apart from his family by taking a vow of silence. He plans to remain silent until he becomes a pilot. However on day when it was discovered that he is color blind. A pilot is not allowed to be color blind. When he realized this he has a huge breakdown and screams at the top of his lungs, everything that he has ever wanted in life has just become out of his reach, he can’t ever become a pilot. When this happens he has no where else to turn, besides his family that he had cut out for so long. But they had always stayed by his side. He transforms from thinking that he was better than his family to realizing that he is just like them and he had no reason to shut them out in the first place.
