Life is beautiful

Today, while we were watching the movie in Mr. Thompson's class, there was a scene where the main character began to discuss racism with his son. The main character, Guido, and his son, Joshua, approached this store in Italy and on the door, there was a sign that read, "No Jews or Dogs." Immediately, the son felt curious and began to question his father. His interpretation of the sign was quite interesting. He said that people don't feel passionate toward these signs, yet hang them on the doors because they want to. Every store has a sign on the door that rejects business to certain races in the neighborhood. In fact this belief is still used in the 21st century in the United States. In every store, the sign "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" is prevailing in every city and in every state. However, what I enjoined the most about their conversation was the fact that Guido decides to put up his own sign for the bookstore. "No spiders allowed." In a way, this whimsical irony shows us that no race is superior for every race is bombarded around the world. Each and every race has been hated and misguided once or twice throughout history. I have never seen this movie before but I feel like something tragic is going to take place at the end of the movie. Maybe Guido, his wife, or his son might die because in every movie a happy family is always torn apart by some kind of a tragic event. Now, that I think about it, no movie has ever really had a decent happy ending except for maybe comedy. Of course, the Holocaust will play a major role in this movie because Guido is Jewish and so is his son. Well, I'll have to wait till Monday to see the rest of this movie. 

Hope you are having a good time, Mr. Thompson.
