Film Analysis

Elf
The Ordinary World- Let's pretend that living at the North Pole and working as an elf is perfectly ordinary. This makes Buddy the elf an ordinary person living in an ordinary place.
The Call to Adventure-When buddy's "dad" Papa Elf tells him that he is not is actual father, Buddy is shocked. No one knows why. Because Papa Elf is a real elf, and Buddy is a full blown human just pretending to be an elf. Although he really believes himself to be one. Odd. Buddy learns that his biological father lives in New York City. Buddy now needs to make a decision whether or not he is going to go find his real father.
Refusal of the Call- Buddy wants to find his real father, but that is a journey he would have to go on by himself. This makes Buddy nervous.
Meeting the Mentor- When Buddy meets Leon the snowman, he makes his decision to go on the journey. This is because Leon helps Buddy realize that living at the North Pole with someone who is not his biological father is not what he truly wants.
Crossing the Threshold- Buddy makes his way into New York City.
Tests, Allies, and Enemies- Once getting to not-so-perfect New York City, Buddy discovers something he has never had to deal with before. Tests. Given that Buddy hasn't found a home yet, that provides tests itself.Combined with crossing many rude people, confusion, and feeling alone, Buddy's only hope is to find himself some allies. Emily and Michael, his father's wife and son, become these allies. So why isn't his father an allie himself? As shocking as it may seem, this is because he starts off being Buddy's enemy.
Approach to the Inmost Cave- Buddy may possibly get the chance to reach his goal, which is to make his enemy love him, by getting closer to him. No literally, he's physically closer to him. Buddy only becomes more determined after he is taken in by his father's family, and lives in their apartment with him.
The Ordeal- Why is it so difficult for Buddy to make his father love him? He is only doing this because he loves his father. But what is he doing wrong? He is so innocent  and kind to everyone. When Buddy thinks he is getting closer to his father, he is only pushing him away.
The Reward- Just when Buddy thinks he has hit rock bottom, he gives up and begins to make his way back to the North Pole. But, before he even gets out of the city, he sees a friend who he has been missing. Santa. Santa is so happy to see Buddy because he knows that Buddy can save his sleigh which was crashed in the middle of Central Park. The sleigh can only be saved by someone who believes in Santa, and Buddy seems to be the only one in this city of business people. Once Buddy saves Christmas, the city is filled with Christmas Spirit, and even his father learns that his son is more important than his business.
The Road Back- Did I mention that Buddy has been trying to get a girl? Well, in saving the spirit of Christmas, consider mission accomplished. Buddy and his new lover, Jovie, make their way back to the North Pole together.
The Resurrection- After Buddy's relationship with his father seems like it cannot be redeemed, it comes back better than ever before after Buddy saves Christmas by saving Santa's sleigh and singing in the park.
Return With Elixir-Elf returns to the North Pole with a babe and a new relationship with his real family.

Impulse

A girl and a boy have a conversation on Facebook. 
1- Trick or Treat
2-t reat treat treat
1- dang 
2- here's the thing
ahem
here's the thing
1- wait, where
2- I have to write a dialogue between two people about anything i want .....
but i don't know what i want
1- women never seem to so that's not too surprising
2- don't worry, no offense taken
1- Haha I didn't think so... SO what are your ideas
2- you see that's the thing..
i have none
1- Ahhhhhhh
2- MAYBE i should just copy and paste this conversation.
1- Haha that would be so smooth. I mean it does fit the criteria. A dialogue. Between two people. I'm a person, you're a person
2- Oh my gosh you're right. Now i'm being all careful about what I say to you cause I think I'm actually going to go with that idea. Facebook is so helpful.
1- So what should I say?
2- Say whatever you want to say I guess...
1- Well I'd like to say that the Jazz destroyed tonight
and that I went Ice Skating last Friday and it was great
2- Let it out, anything you want my fellow bloggers to know. p.s. I'm happy for you.
1- Well in that case, I'd like to thank my parents for allowing me to survive 19 years
2- Haha, and I'd like to thank my parents for being brave enough to try again after having my older brother. Lucky for them, they got me.
1- That is lucky isn't it. I'd like to un-thank my parents for succeeding four more times after me
2-I'm sorry about those four times. Make the best of them. Well, this should complete my assignment. So... I'll probably keep talking to you. Just know that this is over.
1-No, I'm not finished yet!!!
Okay, now I am

Direct Orders

Aaaahem. 
Here's what I need you to do. 
You are under direct orders to rock the frick out. 
Rock out like you have cool socks on.
Like you've got a full tank of gas and you have service in Lake Powell.
Rock out like you just built theee smoothest fort.
Rock out like you just laughed a six pack.
Or like you're at Del Taco and oh my gosh it's 3:00 A.M.
And like you just woke up on the set of Baby Mama.
Rock out like you are proud of that blonde moment.
Like 13 people are messaging you on Facebook.
Like it's Monday night and Gossip Girl is on.
Rock out like the people do when I walk in the room.
Rock out like you just dumped your boyfriend who cheated.
And like you got the one you want and like the one you got rocked out cause they got you.
Rock out like you're funemployed and the consequence hasn't hit you yet.
Or like you just got a date with Ashton Kutcher.
Like Michael Jackson is only hiding.
And like you just graduated from mother freakin high school.
Rock out like you're in a limo and the techno tunes are BUMPIN.
Like you just downloaded a FREE app.
Or like someone who is really good at rocking out is rocking out with you.
Like you're freakin loaded.
Or like when you come into service range and texts in the double digits are blowin up your phone.
Rock out like that annoying chick moved off to college.
Like you just woke up and the clock already struck 10:00.
And like you still have cool socks on.
Or like google looks really cool today.
Rock out like you're dreaming.
Or rock out like it was just a dream.



Shake The Dust

This one,
This is for the chatterboxes who have lisps.
This is for the bikini wearers with big hips.
And for the red light that isn’t good enough to be green.
This is for the innocent who are proven guilty, and for the innocent who need to be proved.
For the girl who loves him who loves a different her.
And for the big sisters who’s little sisters are prettier than them.
Shake the dust.
This one is for the doormats and for those who feel like they need to walk all over them.
For the team who wasn’t supposed to win, and didn’t.
This is for everyone that is wrong, but is actually right.
Shake the dust.
This is for the only kid out of the group that got caught.
For the guy who just couldn’t get the clue.
And for the traffic directors who have better things to do.
This is for the old people who’s bodies make more sounds than a truck.
And for the popcorn machine that gives and gives and gives, and the only thing that comes back to it, it gives.
For those who pour their broken hearts into yet another waste.
Shake the dust.
This is for those who use their hands for hearing and dogs for seeing, wheels for legs and for those who have to beg.
Shake the dust.
This is for those who had one they loved, then lost. And lost. And lost. And lost.
Shake the dust.
This is for the rich, the poor, even the mediocre.
Shake the dust.
This is for everyone out there who has dust to shake, and dust collects everywhere so everyone will take their turn to shake.
My dust collects at different times than your dust.
Eventually your dust will need to be shaken again. And again. And again.
So when the fire has worked its way down the match and is about to burn you with its flame, shake it.
Shake it.
And the relief will overwhelm you when you throw the match away, knowing that you just threw away your stress, struggles, trials and fears.
So shake it away, then again another day.
