Oh yeah wait. I really owe you guys an apology for not posting my ‘Thursday Theatre’ yesterday. 😦 I was busy. Personal reasons! Sorry!

Anyways, where were we? Ahhhh.

Featured film!!

Annie (1982)

Ahhhh! This movie is packed with fun and songs and mischief!! There is also a recent version (2014) of this one. I haven’t seen it yet XD. But this 1982 movie is splendid! It’s about a red haired 10 year old orphan girl named Annie who creates mischief…. but usually she means the best. One day, a woman comes to select an orphan to live for a week with a billionaire, Mr. Warbucks. Soon, Mr. Warbucks begins to grow fond of Annie. Everyone did. And in the end, after a very exciting kidnap, Mr. Warbucks adopts Annie!! Whoop whooop! All the actors play their roles wonderfully… and all the dancing is amazing! Watch it!!

here is the trailer

One warning: One character (Miss Hannigan) who is the one who cares for all the orphan girls, is a drunk and flirts alot.

Featured fiction!!

The Spy by James Fenimore Cooper

This an excellent and educational novel! I had to read it as an assignment for school, and I actually enjoyed it! The author describes everything very beautifully but the plot and what is actually happening can be kinda complicated. Nevertheless, if you want to learn a bit more about the American revolution, but you don’t want read boring articles, this book filled with mystery and romance might help you! I also wrote an essay. If you are interested I will be happy if you read it!

The Spy by James Fenimore Cooper

The Spy by James Fenimore Cooper is a book about the revolutionary war in America during the 1700s. It was published in 1821. The book consists of 35 chapters and about 250 pages. This novel is basically fiction… but also very historically accurate. It’s main theme is the idea of espionage and mistaken identity. The pain of being mistaken by dear ones and not trusted is the message which the author might want to bring across to the readers.

At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Harvey Birch, a peddler, becomes a spy for the American side. Because of the extremely secret nature of Birch’s work, few Americans are aware of his true mission. As a matter of fact, they suspect that he is a British spy. The inhabitants of the county pretend to possess a neutrality they do not feel. This is the case of Mr. Wharton, a British secret supporter, who at the news of war retires to his country estate with his two daughters, Sarah and Frances, and their aunt, Miss Jeanette Peyton.

Their peaceful days are interrupted by the arrival of Henry Wharton, Mr. Wharton’s son and a captain in the British army. The young man wears a disguise in order to cross the American lines safely. But during the arrival of Henry, a stranger, who addressed himself as Mr. Harper, stays with the family. He somehow recognizes Henry through his disguise, but promises not to tell anyone. Then after Harper left, a troop of Virginia calvary come looking for a man with Harper’s description.

When the American soldiers enter Mr. Wharton’s house, they discover Henry. Captain Lawton, in command of the troop, sees through Henry’s disguise. The captain is certain that Henry is a spy because he knows that Birch recently visited the Whartons. Not certain what to do, Captain Lawton consults his superior, Major Peyton Dunwoodie, who is interested not only in Henry but also in Henry’s sister, Frances. She pleads with her lover for Henry’s release.

To make the situation more heartbreaking and difficult, Frances finds out that one of her friend and relative, Isabella, loves Major Dunwoodie too. So Frances starts to avoid Dunwoodie, and Dunwoodie is heartbroken, not understanding the reason for Frances cruelty. But in a fire, Isabella is killed, and confesses at her dying moment that she loved Dunwoodie, but that she wanted to serve her country first and foremost.

In the end, Frances and Dunwoodie get married. Henry is saved, after a long series of court trials, with countless ups and downs, with the help of Harvey Birch. Birch is visited by some American generals, and rewarded for serving faithfully as a spy. Birch refuses the reward, and joins the battle. He is killed while happily serving his country. Peace is finally restored.

Overall, The Spy is a very inspiring and interesting book. It helps the readers get a better understanding and experience of the Revolutionary War. The author uses unique and descriptive words, which enhances the reader’s vocabulary. He creates the perfect mix of drama, history, and romance. I really recommend this book to teens and even adults. Because so much can be learned, contrary to fairy tales. The Spy by James Fenimore Cooper is definetly one of the most interesting and dramatic novels ever.

Faith!!

As always, some inspiring quotes and a movie recommendation!

Overcomer (2019)

Ahhh! I just love this movie so much! It’s so beautiful! It’s about a teen named Hannah who loves running, but she has asthma. Both her parents are dead. Or at least, that is what she thinks and is told by her grandma who takes care of her. Hannah decides to join the cross country track. Her coach and his wife are very kind. One day, when the coach visited the hospital, he came across a sick blind man. After meeting several times, and becoming good friends, the coach suddenly puts the pieces of the puzzle together and finds out that the man was Hannah’s dad! Hannah meets her dad for the first time, but it doesn’t go well. But soon, Hannah comes to christ, and decides to forgive her dad. Slowly their bond is restored. It turned out that her dad was a very good runner. So with the help of her dad….. Ok I won’t tell any more! It’s very touching! I actually cried several times lol.

here is the trailer!

Sunday Sharing / Life Update

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you all had a great week! I decided that I would like to try writing a short Life Update of whatever I have been doing these past weeks (September)! So here we go!

For a start, I had delicious apple cinamon oat pancakes for breakfast!! They are not small and fluffy like American pancakes. They are very big and thin like Dutch pancakes and there is no baking powder! But I love them!!

5 September

Nothing really happened much. It was teachers’ day. But since I couldn’t meet any of my dear teachers, I sent all of them a message. I was surprised when every message turned out to be almost 20 sentences! I could have just said ‘Happy Teachers’ day Miss! I hope you have a great week ahead!’ but I just kept typing. Lol. I really miss them. I got a lot of sweet messages back. I was so happy. 🙂

7 September

I went with my mom to a large shopping mall called ‘Vishal’. We left at around 1:00 pm. When we arrived, we were surprised to find a really long queue! So, we waited for a very long 30 min. Finally we got checked, and we even got sprayed with sanitizer. Full body. This was the first time for me! They said they weren’t letting children in. So, I tried to look as grown up and confident as I could, and they thought I must be around 17 so they let me in! Yesss! Lol. We bought tons of stuff! Mostly groceries, but also many presents for my two sisters since their bday was coming up! I also got the beautiful wooden framed mirror I had been wanting for my room! Yes! I also got a cute and cheap short. Guess what, it was actually from the boys/men’s section. But who cares! It’s really cute and super comfortable! We had 4 stuffed bags. Phew!! It was so heavy! But we paid, got out, and got home at around 4:00 pm. So…. We had spent 3 hours shopping!

10 September

It was Gelina and Cherish’s bday! We gave them their gifts after they woke up, and then we had breakfast. (my lil bro☝🏻❤❤❤❤)

Then we spent the whole morning playing. We even played a long round of monopoly! In the afternoon we had our lunch. Then we sang and Gelina and Cherish cut their cakes! (That is Cherish☝🏻) (That is Gelina☝🏻)

One cake was green apple, and the other one was orange. Delicious! Then we went and climbed ‘Langol’ mountain. Tiring, but fun! We managed to go only half way. The view was amazing!! (That is my beloved city/home! What do you think?)☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

We went home. Then we had pizzas!! Yummm!! Five EXTRA large ones! 3 veg, 1 chicken, and 1 salami! We all were stuffed. Then came ice cream and a family movie! We watched ‘Heidi (2015)’ because it was suitable for all ages. What a great day!

Here are a few extra pics I took at the mountain! 😉

Well, I guess that’s all for today’s post! I hope you enjoyed! Tell me in the comments: Would you like to see more Life Updates? Have you watched ‘Heidi (2015)’? Do you love pizza (I mean who doesn’t)? How did you celebrate teachers’ day? Do you love shopping? Can you play monopoly?

And be sure to check out Hailey’s blog!! She posts beautiful quotes and memes every Sunday!!

Who has seen this? Many of you probably!! It’s such a fun movie about a messy family of 12 kids. What?! Twelve kids?! Yes. Throughout the movie, many mishaps happen (well of course). They, the Baker family, decide to move house. The children all hate this. The ring leader is Susan Baker. Then, the mother, who is a writer, gets called to some place to do some interviews and speeches. So now the dad has to take care. Things become so bad that the mom decides to come home. One of the child, Mark, runs away. Mark was always left out and teased. Do you think they will find him? (Of course!! Oops. *shut up*)

Featured fiction!!!

The Children of the new forest by Captain Marryat

What can i say? Hmmm…. It’s a very captivating story and adventure of four siblings – Two boys and two girls. Their father is killed at war, and then their house is burned down.

Ok. I love this movie!!! If you have watched Bethel kids, you will definitely love this movie by them!! Even if you don’t know them…. do watch this spectacular movie about the lives of different teens. One teen girl is very good at singing, but doesn’t want to share it. Also, her father was in the army and she hasn’t seen him in months! Another story is of a teen girl who loves designing clothes, and she somehow meets an old lady seamstress and…. i’m not telling!! It also adds the story of a teen boy who is an orphan and is ashamed of it. He is angry that no one wants to adopt him. There are also two naughty but funny guys who join the group. Watch it now!!!

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien

‘The Hobbit’ is a very exciting and mysterious book. The book itself is way better than the very unrealistic movie. After reading it once, you will want to read it over and over! It tells the story of a small quiet stay-at-home hobbit who gets pursuaded to travel with a wizard and several dwarves to to get back the dwarves’ treasure from a dragon. So many things happen, they get stuck in the dragon’s mountain….. in the end….. Aghhh! You should read it!! It is fantastic!

Faith!!

As usual, some verses and a movie recommendation!!

Ring the Bell

‘Ring the bell’ is a beautiful movie about a sport agent who travels to a small simple town. He just wants to sign up one guy to join the big league. When they refuse because they found their faith and family more important, he decides to stay and persuade him.

He is struck by the whole town’s kindness and simplicity. Their faith inspires him, and after attending a ‘Casting Crowns’ concert… he realizes his mistakes. The bell ringing will come in somehow…. just watch it and find out!!
