Making Difficult Decisions - 1108 Words

Engelsk tentamen Task 3 Making difficult decisions is a part of life We face decisions everyday, we decide what to wear in the morning, what to eat for breakfast, how to get to school, the list goes on and on. But sometimes we have to make decisions that mean a lot more, that have consequences no matter what you choose and that can effect the people around you. In this text I am going to present two films where the characters have hard decisions to make. Billy Elliot is a film about Billy, an 11-year-old boy who lives with his father, brother and Nan (grandmother). The film takes place in â€Å"Everington† in the UK, from 1984 to 1985 which was in the middle of the UK miners strike. The main conflict of the film is that Billy wants†¦show more content†¦She decides to leave with Christian. If they leave, The Duke wont find them and she will never have to lay eyes on that miserable place again. At least that was the plan until she finds out she is dying of tuberculosis. Now she has to decide if she wants to spend the little time she has left with Christian, and betray all her friends. Or she can stay with The Duke, which will help everyone at The Moulin Rouge, and it will protect Christian. I know that it seems quite clear what she should do, she should stay with The Duke, she has such little time left and should not be selfish and spend it with Christian when it will affect everyone she cares about in a negative way. S he will break Christians heart either way. He will be heartbroken if she dies, but it would still be worse if she lied to him and said that she had chosen The Duke. She decides to stay with The Duke, and when she tells Christian, you can see that it pains her to do it. He denies it and wants her to tell him why she changed her mind, he knows that what she is saying not true. So she lies and says that she would rather live a wealthy lifestyle than be with him. Watching as she does it is really heartbreaking because you know that she is lying. And the worst part is what he will think of her when she is dead, when the truth is that she was protecting everyone before she died. As a summary, I would say that not all of us have to makeShow MoreRelatedMaking difficult decisions show up in life more often than realized.
