HW 48 - Treatment for Savior/Teacher Movie

The first scene opens up with a spotlight on a girl [Lauren]. Room is black and she say’s a small monologue about school and tropes. “This small film will be filed with all this trope nonsense. ” The spotlight will brighten and it turns out that she’s in a classroom. The story will consist of how a struggling student truly has no more passion or will to do good in school. Its all become a routine. A new bright-eyed teacher [Kelly] sees hidden potential in her and takes her under her wing. A strong relationship becomes of the two followed by some success. But no bright light hopeful ending here, the girl doesn’t graduate and loses hope all over again.

I want to focus on how teachers have similar powers to a parent when it comes to influencing a student. In this story the child is lacking parental substance and therefore becomes consumed with the idea of focusing on school. Kelly will be like mommy number 2 and push Lauren to new heights. The bond that they create becomes powerful where it’s translated over into Kelly bringing Lauren to new horizons. [My main argument from past posts: Teachers can have the ability to control students like or dislike towards a class or even subject.] Kelly will begin to like new school again and find her passion.

I also like Ja Min’s approach to what the teacher is teaching. I like the idea of making something funny like the teacher teaching student to stand up to bullies.
