Pursuit of Happyness: Narrative Essay The movie Pursuit of Happyness shows how a person became a homeless then eventually how he survived from being a homeless. Then, to being a multi millionaire. Even though he experienced how hard life can be he still pursued to reach his goals in his life for his son. This movie shows how a homeless person stand up and pursue to be successful. Throughout the movie, the filmmakers showed a how a family struggle from their daily lives'. One example from the movie is when Linda, Chris's girlfriend and mother of Christopher decided to leave San Francisco and go to New York for a better job. This scene shows how difficult is their situation that Linda would leave her family to look for a better life. Throughout the movie, it also shows how a husband and wife argued because of money issues. Chris and his family live in San Francisco where his son goes to a school where they can't even spell happiness right. In this place they spell happiness to "Happyness" instead of the letter "i". There this one scene when Chris talking to his son's teacher because of how the teacher let's the children's watched a TV show called "Bonanza and Love Boats." By this Chris tried to talk to the teacher because trying it is not appropriate for them to watch TV during their school time. But the teacher argues that it's for history. The lady says it's navy history, but Chris responded by telling her that they are paying them $150 a month. The teacher responded backed by saying that they pay his son's tuition late. Chris is complaining about this, but the lady said with them paying their son's tuition late she is complaining too. Why did Chris's put his son to a school where I think all their students are Asians in the ... ... middle of paper ... ... they are in a year when dinosaurs are alive. Then, his son follows along and Chris said that they need to find a cave so that the dinosaurs will not get them. While they're looking for a cave they end up to a bathroom in the subway station and their they stayed for the night. I would say that this scene is one of the turning point of the movie because its shows how a father and son's relationship is very strong,. Even though they are experiencing problems. To conclude, I think this movie is a good example to show how a homeless person lived and how he survived his life from being a homeless. Throughout all his life he showed what can determination do even though there are obstacles in the way. Doing is best paid off his hardships. So from dreaming big, be determined on what you're trying to do, and be responsible on things will make you succeed in the future.
