give her a chance

When Akira agreed to participate in the intercollegiate spelling bee, she didn't expect so many things to happen. Originally, she had no interest, and she didn't like her school, so why should she contribute to the school? Moreover, because of his good mind and high grades in schoolwork, he was bullied and labeled as a freak. She didn't want those people to mock her even more if she failed in the competition.

Akira lives in a civilian area, her father died, her mother bent over five buckets of rice all day long, her sister was pregnant out of wedlock, and her second brother joined a gang. Her mother didn't have time to take care of her, she just asked her to finish middle school. No one at home listened to her voice. Akira habitually skips class.

When the principal forced her to participate, she was noncommittal, so she just appeared casually, anyway, she was not a loser in the end. Akira has absolutely no confidence and no motivation.

Until she won the inter-school competition and met several contestants from his school, she suddenly wanted to work harder. Her motivation was coming, and she wanted to go further—many steps. As a last resort, Akira went back to the principal's old classmate, Professor Larabee, and asked him to train her. She wanted to win the national middle school spelling champion. This time she was serious, she wanted to win, not because of the principal's quid pro quo.

Under the guidance of Professor Larabee, Akira has self-confidence, self-esteem and ambition. Not only that, she continued to advance, and the regional rankings became more and more advanced, which inspired her classmates in the school to follow her (it turns out that a bad school can do it!), united the whole family, the whole school, and the whole community, regardless of black and white, everyone is unanimous To help her, to encourage her, Akira is the first hope to be proud of everyone. It takes the whole village to raise a kid.

The kind-hearted Akira did not expect that she would make a will and cure Professor Larabee's psychological disorder. With her hard work, Akira has not only achieved success, but has also become a lever for everyone to improve.

Akira is just an 11-year-old African-American disadvantaged child, but, given her a chance, she took it. Because of the perseverance to change myself, I also changed everyone.

The old-fashioned inspirational story, but I read it twice in a row, and I still have no idea, and I shed the same tears in the same plot.

    While watching this film, I kept thinking of Ah Zhao, who always called on us to recite the words and play when we had nothing to do. Maybe there is nothing outstanding about this film, but it always makes me want to look down.

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be?

Akeelah and the Bee quotes

  • Terrence: Man, that's a white word if I ever heard one. It's a trick. Stop playing!

  • Katie Kerwin McCrimmon: [commentating on TV] Several of the kids placed very high in last year's bee, especially Dylan Chiu. He's come in second two years in a row.
