AN EDUCATION..

a sixteen-years old student who experience cultural shock

everything starts when Jenny, an excellent student who aims to go to Oxford is being seduce by David, a charming con man. Jenny has experience the cultural shock when she involve with negative activities like she starts to smoke and go clubbing. It eventually give a catastrophic effect not only on herself but also only her study. David has asked her to marry him and after that she decides to drop the school. unfortunately, she found that David is a married man. She is so sad and lastly she meets again with the favourite teacher. Her teacher has agreed to help her to study again since she already regrets on what she has done.

Before we start to watch this movie, we had been asked a few questions and we need to answer it in a piece paper. so, here is my answer :)

based on what my lecturer has said, these are some of the questions that we are supposed to think before we go to US. so, i think it is because we need to prepare ourselves physically and mentally. For the cultural shock problem, in my opinion it can be overcome if we know a little bit culture that we will face soon and we know who we are. so, everything is depends on ourselves. if we want to be a good person, then we will be a good person.

okay, what i can comment on this movie is actually i sympathize with Jenny. It is because her daily life is being controlled by her father. Her father dislike when she is doing something related to french. so,  think she is stressed by it and want to have freedom one day. Hence, I think that is the core reason why she likes to be with David since he encourages her to do what she likes and her father should be blame. 

but, when I realized that Jenny is matured enough to differentiate between good and bad things. thus, i believe all the problems that she faced after that is caused by her own decision. Don't put blame on other people. still, in the end i feel relieve when she discovers David a married man. It is because, if she marry him and drop the school,  I believe that will not have a good future. Education will help somebody to be acknowledge by other people and ensure his/her future. so, it is really good when she regret on what she has done and she has back the spirit to study again.

before I forgot, this is a British film. so, there are a few new terms that i discovered through out this movie. they are:-

• read English - it does not mean you are reading English. but it means you want to study English
• coloured people - it basically not referred to the white people
• teddy boy - based on the context this word has been used, i think it means coward.

so, in conclusion we must think wisely before we made a certain decision. it is because everything has its own pros and cons. 

thankyou for reading... :)
