The Education of Little Tree Movie Review

In the movie, The Education of Little Tree, the young boy learns many of sustenances most important lessons. Three of the lessons that I feel are most important are The Way, how to learn from ones mistakes, and finding your secret place. In the personal evaluation that follows, I will discuss why I feel that these are such important lessons. Little Trees grandparents, with near help from Willow John, learn him The Way of the Cherokee. I feel that this is one of lifes most important lessons.Not necessarily the Cherokee government agency, but the modal value of life in general. This lesson helps us to understand that things may not al panaches work the way that we would same(p) them to. In my eyes, this is because we do not, and never will, completely be in control of our lives. I believe that their is some power higher than ourselves that is in at least partial control of our lives. I also believe that this higher power, whether it be fate or God, helps guide us to a more complet e life. To me life is a lesson in itself.It is all in all a learning experience to prepare us for the next life. One of my favorite parts of the story is when Little Trees grandparents pass on, they rank It has been good. Ill see you soon. They view death as a new beginning, not as an end. Throughout the movie, Little Tree is making mistakes and learning from them. I also think that this is a very important lesson in life. Making mistakes is part of life. Learning from them so that we dont repeat the same mistakes once more can be hard sometimes. This can be applied to the classroom in many ways.If you stay out late the night before a test instead of studying and do poorly on a test, the next time you should consider an alternative. One possibility is to find a way that lets you go out and have fun, but come home early enough to study the material for the test. I think that the way Little Trees grandfather teaches him this lesson by letting him make mistakes instead of preventing them is the same way that a teacher or parents should teach children and students. If your parents or teachers dont allow you to make mistakes, you will probably be less likely to learn the lesson.Even though they think they are doing a good job by preventing these mistakes from happening, the child or student may behave rebelliously toward this. Finding your secret place can help to teach you about yourself. In this lesson, Little Tree found his secret place was a place to go by himself. Everyone needs a place like this. Somewhere to be alone with your thoughts. In a way it helps you find yourself through self fulfillment. Little Tree learns about what interests him, the mysteries of his cultural background. This can be helpful in ones education.It helps you learn about what you would like to do with your life. It can give you direction. It is also important because no two people are on the nose the same. Each person has a different style of learning. A person will get more out o f their education if they are taught and learn in the style that applies to them. The lessons referred to in this paper are just a few that I believe are important in a persons education and in life in general. A persons education never stops, we all learn new lessons everyday. It is just The Way it is.
