"Akeelah and the Bee" - Part 2.

I really enjoyed this movie. At first i thought they were going to give her a word she didn't know and she was going to lose but to my surprise she won. i would really recommend this movie to people it was a really good movie. Words indeed helped Akeelah win the spelling bee and seeing as we are taking the writing TASK test tomorrow they will also help me to get a good score on the test.

Busted-Setting

The setting of busted has changed from being in Kim's living room in Connecticut, to a rich private school called Hereford High. It is still in Connecticut, but not in the same little city. The time period is the present, and it is in Connecticut. I know this because it stated it on the very first page.

Busted -Character Post

I believe that so far Kim Stratford is a static character. She has not made any change in herself so far in the book so she can not really be considered a dynamic character. Although she does seem like she will be making a change later on in the book she just has not done it. A static character can be defined as a character who does not undergo a personal change thought out the plot of the story.
