Guide Question: Answer the following based on your analysis of the movie.
1. Choose one word to describe your reaction to the movie.
 DIFFERENT

2. What image from the movie lingers in your mind?

 When a group of alien botanists land in a spacecraft and ET said “HOME”.

3. How would you describe the film to someone who hasn’t seen it?
 I’ll said that there’s something different that you can’t see in our planet that you will see in
this movie, also known as Alien but it looks like something special that will give you an idea
about them.

4. What do you think is the message of the film?

 Even though who you are or what are, an alien or human, all of us can established a pure
relationship like friendship.
5. Who are the characters in the film? Describe their reaction in meeting and
overcoming a problem.
 The characters in the film E. T. are Mary, Elliott, Keys, Michael, Gertie, Greg, Steve, Tyler and other minor
characters in the film. All of them have different reaction in meeting and overcoming the problems but
then some of them wants to face and explore it but some also ignore it because of fear and hindrance
that they faced.

6. What new ideas did you get from the film?

 We need to love,care and value the other creatures even if they are different from us
because they are also created by god like us.

7. Has the film influence your thinking in terms of bridging gaps? Explain your answer.
 I think yes, the film strengthened my thinking in terms of bridging gaps even though
both of you are different by your own perspective it is not a problem. I believed I
can relate in some of the characters responses to their predicaments. There’s no
problem also in your communication when you put your heart and love by them.
LES MISERABLES (a French historical novel by Victor Hugo )
Answer the following questions accordingly:
1. What was the best part of the movie for you?
 For me, the best part of the movie is when the beggars and penurious people created the french
revolution against Javert and his men, they had a lot of struggle when it comes to food and other
resources, other men even quitted and given up on hoping they will succeed on this revolution but a
little boy named Gavroche cheered them up, but they came on the point where all of them died with
each other by their side. That part made the movie looked realistic and also captures the relatable
events that happened in our history.

2. Who was your favorite character in the movie for you? Why?
 Prisoner 24601 also known as Jean Valjean was my favorite character from the movie because with all
the problems and struggles he faced, he continued on pursuing his passion, to clean his reputation and
to help other people, even Cossette the girl who was the daughter of Fantine, he helped her and
became her father and mother and he stood by her side fighting all the problems that stood on their
way before he died.

3. What feelings did you share with any characters in the movie?
 I feel like I can relate to Fantine, because just like her, I will do everything that I can even if it
means death, I'll give my best, I'll give it all, I'll do anything just to provide, protect, and love
my love ones.
4. If you were the author, would you change the ending? What changes would you do?
 If I would be the author, I feel like not changing the end would be much more better because from
that ending, it shows that they really need to sacrifice something even someone's life just to have the
justice and freedom they all been looking for.

5. If you were the bishop, what would you do if you discovered what Valjean stole from
you? Would you forgive him or would you let him?
 At first, of course I’ll feel that I can never trust that person ever again, but we need to realize that
change is something that we can't stop, someone will change no matter what, every mistake must be
forgiven specially when that person admits and learn from that mistake, we must forgive and move on
our life.

6.What are the principal social eveil Victor Hugo is attacking in Les Miserables?
 Victor Hugo is able to identify the social errors of 19th century France attacking in Les Miserables. The
characters in his story has a main role and based on people in this generation also attempt to rise the
poverty and redeem themselves indicate that such inequalities did, and still exist to this day but then
through the feminist ideals and many more, Hugo attacks the principle social evils that each of his
characters face in Les Miserables.

7.Disscuss the ways in which Valjean both helps and hinders Cossette as she becomes an adult.
 Jan Valjean did everything for Cossette. Even though he knows that his life is in danger he risk his own
life in order Cossette be able to have a peaceful life. He even lived in different place with Cossete to
escape. He became a father and mother to cossette and he stood by her side fighting all the
problems that stood on their way.
