Last week, my sister and I went to see the movie Blindside. I don't want to give anything away if you wanted to see the movie, but there was one part in it that I thought went along with this chapter.
In the movie the kid isn't very smart, and he normally tests in the very low percentile on his standardized tests that are taken in (I think) all schools. However, it then shows up that he tests in the 98th percentile for protectiveness. Since the movie is a true story I found it interesting to think that this kid that has never done well in school, and has never been pushed to succeed, is so extremely protective of things he loves.
Now I know that they don't really have anything to do with each other - intellect and protectiveness - but that was what was in the movie and I thought the protectiveness part was a kind of cool personality trait for him to have. I'm sorry if I ruined the movie for anyone, but I really didn't give that much away.

No you really didn't give much away at all ...I don't think. It went very well with this chapter considering we talked about protectiveness and all the other words that went with this chapter.
ReplyDeleteHey I don't think you ruined the movie at all, because I still have no idea what it's about! :) But I think your right it's really weird how you may not be "book" smart, but it doesn't necessarily make you "dumb" either. I think a lot of people just connect what you do in school, with whatever else you are doing in your life. This really isn't fair because there are a lot of really good athletes who never did well in school, but they are outstanding in their sport. It's kind of interesting to think about!
