T25: A movie star you like

 As someone who loves cinema, I enjoy actors' work a lot. That is why it is hard for me to pick my favourite movie star, but there is always some actor you have a soft spot for. For me, it is Heath Ledger.

Heath Ledger was an Australian actor that passed away fourteen years ago in 2008. I first noticed him in the rom-com "10 Things I Hate About You" and looked for his name on the internet. From that day on, I started watching everything he was credited on and found one of my favourite movies ever, "Brokeback Mountain".

Because of his magnific acting in that movie, he was nominated for an Academy Award. But his acting skills and his handsome physique were not the only reasons why I was in awe of him. When watching interviews of him it was clear that he was different and that having grown up somewhere far from Hollywood made him value much more what he got besides making him an incredibly humble and down-to-earth person.

His loss is still noticeable in today's cinema because someone like him stood between the crowd and I'm sure he would have continued to leave the world speechless like he did when he embodied the Joker in "The Dark Knight", a role for which he received his first and only Academy Award.

  DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH BRAINSTORMING: What does this picture make me feel? : I feel sad but also angry and furious. Why do I feel like that? : Because I feel like it's not fair that this man has to leave his family because of a war where he has nothing to do. What produces this feeling in me? : The fact that such old things as wars are still going on even though it's proven that they're useless. When watching this image all I can think of is how there are two lives being torn apart right in front of the eyes of the entire world. Wars are often filled with numbers, the number of people that have died, that have survived but when we see them in the flesh that's a different thing, seeing this couple saying what may be their last goodbye is sad and so is the fact that none of them chose to be part of this war. I also feel furious because of the injustice that's happening, thinking that you could lose a family member or a friend to war, to something pointless makes me i...

T17: A good friend

  As someone who has had friends her whole life, I recognise the importance of having someone to count on. There are many types of friends but the hardest one to find is without any doubt, a good friend. As I have already said, there are many types of friends. For instance, there are those that you only salute when you see each other at a party, friends from your childhood whom you do not talk to as often as you would like to but whenever you see them it seems like not a single day has gone by since you last saw them, and then there are good friends. A good friend is someone who is always there, through thick and thin. They always have the best intentions and even though you may not talk to each other every day, it is not necessary because you know that your bond can't ever be broken. I am lucky enough to say that I have many good friends that make my days worthwhile and I am proud of that because what kind of friends you have also says something about yourself.
