    “Hero Narrative”

    In the Movie Akheela and the Bee I will beexplaining why I chose her as a hero, Akheela was considered a hero because of the challenges she needed to overcome, Akheela come from Crenshaw and worked her way up to Woodland Hills, Threw this video not only did Akheela look great to her community but she also looked great to the government officals also can learn by watching this film.

    Another reason why I had chosen Akheela as a hero because This 11 year old girl was able to unite a community and brought them closer together, this 11 year old girl who was afraid of being smart of being a book worm around her friends and classmates and was teased had eventually was able to gather help from everyone around her.

    In fact the community became as if it was a family, It didnt matter what race or background, that the only goal was to help akheela win the Spelling Bee and support her all the way. Next, the coach her school has convinced into helping has his own issues and to overcome then as when Akheela had done so.

    And then there’s Akheela’s Mother who doesn’t have the time or energy to devote to her daughter because she is trying to keep Akheela’s brother out of trouble, which is holding down her job.That’s the reason why I choose Akheela, Because she never gave up, That she show’s us how tough it is for all kids to balance family, friendships, identity, education, and talent.

    The Hero I Chose For Mr Character is Mr.Larabee Because Through Out The Movie He Coached Akleeah and Never Gave Up Her , Always Was On Her About Spelling Words. He Had Faith in Her That She will Make it To The National Spelling Bee And She did . Akeelah Relates To What Mr.Larabee Went Through . Mr.Larabee Had Lost a Daughter And Akeelah Reminds Him Of Her . The Reason Why I Chose Mr.Larabee Was Because He Made it To The National Spelling Bee And He Made it 2nd Place And Akeelah Has Made it To First , Which is Her First Time Auditioning For The National Spelling .

    My Heroic Character’s Obstacle Was Teaching a Young Girl 5,000 Words That Had Been Missed Spelled From The Last Spelling Bee . Akeelah Would Go To Mr.Larabee’s House To Be Coached , He Actually Gave Her a Jump Rope Which Was His Daughters , To Have Some Type Of Rhythm To Spell Words Which She Actually Used During The National Spelling Bee .Mr.Larabee Had Taught Akleeah Everything He Had To Teach And Know Has Made The Top 10 To Go To D.C For The National Spelling Bee.

    The Character That i Chose is Special To Me Because He Has Talent , and He Has Used it To Teach Akleeah How To Get Better At Spelling Words And Being Confident . Now Akleeah Has Grown From it And Accomplished Her Goal and is Proud Of Herself For Her Hard Works . Hard Works Really Do Pay Off at The End.

    My character,Dr.Larabee acts heroically in this movie because he helps Akeelah with the spelling bee to get her to the finals in D.C. He is helping her by training her to win the spelling bee by helping her with her words and vocabulary.
    Dr.Larabee is also a heroic person in this movie because he is the reason why she won the spelling bee, and thats also how she knows so many words.
    This is an example of how my character, Dr.Larabee, acts heroically.

    the mom didn’t know why a daughter would lie to her. she told her mom what she would do if she let her stay in the bee. Dr.Larabee felt bad that he didn’t have any thing else to teach akeelah , she started crying. And before she left, she gave him a christmas present.

    My character Akeelah acts heroically when she gave everything up at the spelling bee.Akeelah spelled her last word wrong just so that Dylan could win and he wouldn’t get yelled at by hiss dad. She didn’t really think about her consequences at all. Akeelah forgot that if she wan she would make her family and friends proud.To Akeelah’s surprise Dylan also misspelled the word so that Akeelah coud win.This is an example how Akeelah acts heroically and how Dylan faces his fear.

    My character Dr.Lairabee is the hero in my point of view because he coaches/helps AKeelah study for the National Spelling Bee and make it to D.C. She made it to the nationals and made it to the Finals, but Dr.Lairabee didnt/couldn’t help no more because she was already good herself. But Akeelah begged him to go so he did.But other than that with out him she wouldnt gotten was far.
    Also Akeelahs’ dad is also a hero because through out the movie Akeelah always talked to the picture of her dad saying “were almost there dad” or “You would let me do it”.He encouraged her in a way. She never gave up when she look at her dad’s picture.She always was couraged in way.Even though her dad died she had faith and knew that her dad was there helping her move foward.Even if he was there he wouldve encouraged her to move foward and not to give up on something precious thats in her hand. All of this is an example of how my character,Akeelah’s dad and Dr.Lairabee, acts heroically

    My character Dr.Larabee acts heroically because he actually made Akeelah’s dream come true and also he made her not fear in herself and believe she can win.He coached her as much as he could to make her know more words and he told her that she could learn big words by knowing smaller words.He was there for her all the time because he knew Akeelah had the ability to win the competition.

My character Dr.larabee acts heroically by being Akeelah’s coach for the spelling bee.1st he started off by teaching her all the winning words.He taught her how to multitask while spelling. For example “He made her jump rope and spell tough words at the same time.he made Akeelah flash cards to study right before the big event. And he also went with her to D.C along with her family.Also did I mention that Dr.larabee paid for everyone to go.This is an example of how my character Dr.larabee acts heroically

    My character Akeelah acts heroically by doing something productive. She does the spelling bee even tho she doesn’t have to. The principal tell her that she has to do it to pass her grade even tho she didn’t want to do it she won.
    So she went to the regional bee and competed against about 150 people. She met this boy name Javier and help her a lot. It was Akeelah’s turn to spell a word she and she missed it. So another boy spelled a word and made it but the only reason he made it was cause his mom helped him with the word. Akleelah’s sister saw his mom help him so she told the judges and he got disqualified. So she made it to the top ten.
    Now it the national spelling and her mom wouldn’t let her go cause she has to do summer school. So Akleeah fake her dads signature so she can go. Later her mom found out and drove to the national spelling bee and took her out so she can talk to her. Her mom wanted to take her out but they talked her out of it. Meanwhile Javier was staling so Akeelah wouldn’t get disqualified. So she got back n mad it it the top 3.
    Javier invited Akleelah to his birthday party and he kissed her on the cheak. At the end of the movie Akeelah and a boy name Dylan both won it was a tie

    My character Akeelah acts heroically by confronting her fears of loosing the bee. One of the of the obstacles Akeelah had to face was being, able to concentrate without being distracted.
    Akeelah had to study in odd ways to be able to win state spelling bee. After Dr. Laraby told her he was not going to coach her any more she studies hard and made it to the national spelling bee.
    After their was only two kids in the contest , Akeelah and Dylan,the people who say the words move to much difficult words after Akeelah and Dylan tie for first place

    My character Dr.Larabee acts heroically because he coached Akeelah for the national spelling bee. Before the spelling bee he told her she was on her own. He gave four boxes of 5,000 spelling words to study. Dr.Larabee was a motivation to Akeelah during the national spelling bee.

    My character, is Dr,Larabee because i think he made Akelaah have confidence in herself to the the national spelling bee.The reason why i think Dr,Larabee is a hero because when he was little he had won the same competition as Akelaah.

    So Dr,Larabee has alot of experience to teach Akelaah.Akelaah has won because of Dr,Larabee Training.The way he helped Akelaah he made her read alot of books and flashcards and has did destractions while she was reading so her concetration would get better when she was up on the stage and if she get nervous she would know how to get out of the situtation.

    Akelaah sucessfully had won the national spelling beebecause of her own self and Dr,Larabee .they had accomplished what there goal was.

    My character, Akeelah acts heroically by not giving up.Akeelah’s main obstacle to being heroic was herself.Akeelah achieved heroic status by winnig the spelling bee.At the point in the film when Akeelah had to show heroism when she won the spelling bee.My character i chose so special is that she is an amazon speller that is very intellgent, and who can remember any word in the dictionary.

    My character, Dr. Larabee acts heroically Dr. Larabee because, if it wasn’t for him Akeelah would have never entered the district spelling bee and win to go for regionals and win to go to the national spelling bee. He made all this happen by training Akeelah and teaching her to spell the words that were often missed in the previous spelling bee. Dr. Larabee had many opportunities to back down from helping Akeelah win the bee but he CHOSE to help her go to DC. And those are my reasons on how Dr. Larabee is a Hero

    He is also the reason why she actually tried in all of the spelling she was in.He showed heroism when Akeelah spoke to a picture of him and somehow gets support.

    My character ,Javier acts heroically by being something productive.Javier is not just for him self even though he was going against Akeelah he also helped her with the Bee and helped her to fit in since it was her first time going through to the bee and being the first student at Crenshall middle school to be in the bee.

    So Javier and Akeelah got closer together through out the spelling bee and started hanging out more and even know they had to focus on the bee they also took time to have fun but also when they was hanging out at Javier school they played basketball they still were still do something where it had to do something with the bee.

She acts heroically by acting like she is jump rope to help her spell the more challenging words. This is an example of how my character, Akeelah, acts heroically.

    My character, Akeelah, acts heroically when she forges her mothers signature. That was heroic but very deceptive and sneaky. She was brave to do what she felt would help her. This is an example of how my character , Akeelah was heroic.

    My character, Akeelah, acts heroically. She wants to accomplish what she wants, which is winning the national spelling bee. She’s a very confidence girl because it takes confidence to spell in front of many people. She knows that if she studies, she knows she could win.

    This is an example of how my character, Akeelah, acts heroically because she studied day and night hoping she’s going to win the spelling bee. She studies many words because she knows many people has failed many words in the national spelling bee.

    She then gets coached by a very great person, Dr Larabee. Eventually, Dr. Larabee lets her on her own to study. After, Akeelah asks many people like family members to help her study to win the national spelling bee. After a hard work of studying and the help of her coaches, she knew it paid off because she placed first in the national spelling bee.

    “My character Dr. Lairabee is the hero in my opinion because he helps Akeelah study for the spelling bee so she can win. Instead of her winning she desided to get a tie so Dylans dad would not be so called “pissed”. Dr. Lairabee is also a hero because he staid strong after his daughter passed away from a sickness and after his wife devorced him. He felt like he had nothing in life.”

    “Javier is a hero too because when she met him he was super nice and i guess from that moment he knew he liked her. after the 1st bee Javier invited her to come study at his school so she went and studyed with him and a few others from the bee. When she went to his school and study, Javier invited her to his party. She went to his party and Javier kissed her cheak! “

    My character Mr.Larabee demonstrates heroism because he know what the old winning words are and he can teach her how to spell it and what they mean. I also pick Mr.Larabee because he had won a couple of spelling bee his self. My characters main obstacle to be heroic is that he is a good teacher and he had help Akeelah win the district spelling bee because of his coach skill. The point of the flim that made Mr.Larabee show herosim is when he said he will help Akeelah win the spelling bee. The reason why i think Mr.Larabee is so special is he can help you achieve in life and also help you become a winner.
