In preparation for this paper I chose to read Fire in the ashes: twenty five years among the poorest children in America by Jonathan Kozol. In this book Kozol has followed these children and their family’s lives for the past twenty five years.

Lepore’s stop motion film “bottle” leaves its viewers asking “why does love require sacrifice”. People often think of love as just an emotion that people have for one another, but in order for love to stay strong and true then it will require some sacrifices, that’s why those feelings of love will wash away overtime. Many people will argue that the couple in “Lava” patiently waits thousands of years for their love to come true, But neither volcano sacrifices their time or themselves, because they didn’t have the power to do so. Dustin Rowels, in his review of ‘Lava” was very negative towards the film and he underscores the issue of the portrayal of love by stating”In short, it’s about a creepy looking male volcano who sings a terrible ukulele-based
Although she says that she feels like 12 years old and needs help, she later accepts that it is learning about life.
