Hello everybody! Today I'm going to share you the essay paragraphs I worked on in my English class. I'm going to cut my paragraphs cause I know it will be really long if I'm gonna put it all here. Now, here's my introduction, first and second paragraph.

Do you know how lucky you are when you have someone to lift you up at the time of your worst days? The director of ‘The Power of One’, John Avildsen showed us the key moment that helped us to prepare for another moment in the film and it is when he accepted his grandfather’s hand. This moment created a big impact on PK’s life which established him hope to continue his life and his grandfather served as his guide  and staircase to search and build purpose to live. It also made him learned so much things in living which is beneficial for him since he doesn’t have parents anymore and even though he experienced all of this adversity in life, it made him realize that in the end of the day there is an aid to all the sufferings.

It was a devastating situation for PK when he lost important people in his life but it is also a rising hope when he met his grandfather. For instance, this is the moment when PK’s grandfather approached him and cheered him up. In this scene, PK’s face became brighter and enthusiastic as his grandfather showed him interesting things like talking to his donkey. After all the adversity that PK suffered like losing his mother, nanny and even his chicken ‘mother courage’, being bullied to school that made his life in the boarding school living like in hell, the coming of his grandfather was like a surprise, not in a bad way but in a good way. The surprise didn’t made his life in a worse situation but it lightened his life and made him see in the other side of the beautiful life.The purpose of the director of this movie is to inform the audience that PK’s life doesn’t only circling around miserable and cruelty happenings but there are also genuine joy and happiness that will come to his life.This prepare the audience that after the handing the hand of PK to his grandfather scene there will be a change to life of PK, a good change.This made the audience feel assured that the childhood of PK was still in good hands and it is because of his grandfather.The scene helped audiences to get a hint that after that moment his grandfather will lift him up and will teach him stuff to live as a normal kid. He made PK learned something from life despite all the hindrances that stopping PK from savouring the good life.This can be juxtaposed to the next moment of the scene where he got trained by Geel Piet to box and that is one of the main reason of meaningful existence of PK.

Moreover, PK’s life was led to a more desirable life together with the guide of his grandfather. At the particular clip in the movie, PK said that he is taught how to see things differently the way he had before by his grandfather. His grandfather, Doc, he accompany PK to see the varieties of life.

The audiences understand how Doc loved PK. Doc knows that he himself undergo in the same situation that he also lived alone after his family got killed by Hitler because they stand in their ground as they believed in having peace. Doc is aware of the feeling of being lonely and he don’t want PK to experience this kind of emotion. He stayed in PK’s side and educated him with his knowledge as he stated that a person’s fundamental needs in life are health and education. PK is in a good and healthy body but his education needed a deep attention. Doc toured PK around Africa and Africa served as PK’s classroom of learning. Everyday was his study sessions and it began at sunrise of every morning. Later in the moment which can be link in this scene, is the coming of the Afrikaners announced the citizenship of Doc because he came from the Germany but got stuck to go home and it is a problem again.
