Research Papers

I am the type of person who doesn't really care to do research papers, but then again who really enjoys doing reseach? Well, I guess if you get to pick a topic of your interest then it is okay. I enjoy researching things that I am interested in. How many people really like to research something that you couldn't care less about? I personally do not feel that there is any way to make something more interesting, if you have not the slighest bit of interest in it from the begining. I like researching things in history, psychology, maybe even science. I am not crazy about researching things in literature. I have never really had any interest in literature before.

Finding Nemo

A movie that I can think back and see the "moral of the story" clearly is Finding Nemo. This movie is a favorite of my two youngest brothers, who are 2 and 3 1/2. It's quite funny actually because if you ask the 3 1/2 year old why Nemo got taken away, he will tell you it was because he didn't listen to his daddy. How cute right? He can actually recite the whole movie, it is quite ridiculous. Anyways. This movie starts off with two fish who are in love and about to have a child/ren. The mother is killed and all of the eggs are gone, but one. The father fish is only left one thing in his life that really matters, and that ends up being his Nemo. Nemos dad loves his son endlessly, and is very protective over him, mainly beacuse he is all he has left, and doens't want tragedy to strike again. Nemo finally gets to go to school when Marlin lets loose a little, but once he finds out where the field trip is, he freaks out and goes to get Nemo. Nemo, wanted to show his dad that he wasn't to young to be in school and that he was brave by touching the boat that his father warned him not to touch. Nemo ended up getting captured by a scuba diver and put in his fish tank. Marlin tried to catch up to Nemo and never gave up trying to find him. Nemo ws trying to get back to his father also. After many attempts Nemo gets out and Marlin gets in, but they were both so determined that they were still not reconnected. They do find one another and return back home, both having a new outlook on one another. Nemo is allowed to go back to school and Marlin backs off and is so protective.

I feel that the moral of the story here is that parents can only do so much for their children. They at some point have to let go, and let their kids/teens make their own choices, and just hope that they raised them with the best morals and values of their ability. However, no matter what choice your kid/teen makes in their lives, that love is always there, and you will always be there to help them get back on track.
