Hey guys, summers coming up. Getting ready for the beach and its beautiful out. How much better can it get. Well I haven't watched the whole thing but there's a movie I really think everyone should see. It's called Soul Surfer. It's and amazing movie so far, very inspiring and sad. It is based off of a real story. On October 31, 2003, 13 year old, Bethany Hamilton was attacked by a shark surfing. Almost all of her arm was amputated yet she tried to get back on board. After trying and failing, she eventually succeeded and finished 5th in a competition in 2004. Then an autobiography was made about her amazing and inspiring tale of her faith, family and her fight, hence the book title, Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board. The movie was made 7 years later about her struggle of being different and excepting that her life will never be the same. But she got back up and did what she loved. Seven years later her amazing tale is still remembered.

Books & Movies

Ok, I just finished The Hunger Games Trilogy. It's the best books I have every read. I can't say more than that. They are amazing. I would definitely suggest this to everyone. Not only is the writing good but the plot is so original. usually the first book is better than the rest. This is different. Suzanne Collins wrote a better 2nd book and then a 3rd that improved on all of them. My favorite had to be the first, The Hunger Games. Catching Fire and Mockingjay were amazing too. They are so suspenseful, you cant even put down the book. It's great.

Now, movies. Well you have to watch The Hunger Games. Definitely. Also a movie called "A Warriors Heart". Most people don't like the sports dramas but there my favorite. "A Warriors Heart" is about a teenager, named Collin, who moves from California to the East Coast. Collin love lacrosse. His dad is in the Marines. After his dad goes back to the war, he dies. Collin is very upset about this and gets some of his anger out on the field. He gets too violent and goes to jail. A fellow Marine, his dad knew, bails him out and brings him to a work camp to teach him a lesson. There Collin learns the true definition of a warrior and what lacrosse is really about.
It has it's romance like most stories, and the action. It's sad and powerful. Importantly, it has an amazing life lesson.
