When Peekay's parents have died. and totally abandoned him, he felt that he has no place to go too, but suddenly his grandfather look for him and came to him to help him. When Peekay already at his grandfather's house they always doing piano, boating, planting and many more. One time when they planting something outside of their house the Jewish police came to their house and ask his grandfather's name if he's Professor Karl "Doc" Von Vollensteen and his grandfather replied to the Jewish police that he's the one that the police looking for, then suddenly the policemen invited them to go to jail as they went through it peekay realizing how hard is to be an apartheid when they're walking towards from jail they've seen a boxing ring with the two men were are doing a boxing practice.

The purpose of the director is too show to the audience that the African lady teach others English what peekay teach to her and peekay encourage her to teach it to othersThis makes the audience shocked and amazed because after what happened to Maria the Africans still learning English even though Maria died they are still inspiring themselves. This combines with first when Maria died from the Jewish soldier who hit her on a head that causes her death. And also when they trying to teach the Africans to learn English but suddenly the Jewish soldiers came up to them try to kill everyone and destroy everything. This link to when peekay and his grandfather that goes to the Africans. And they have to stay there for a long time to help the African to plant something or anything else.

The Power Of One Paragraph
Hi, guys, it's me again today I'm gonna shared what we are learning in English for a couple a weeks ago is S.E.X.X.Y Paragraph here is what I learned. I hope you guys enjoy it 

1st paragraph



The director John G. Avildsen, uses a film aspect Mid-long shot to effectively show to the audience that. Africans are learning English from Peekay. As we can see on the picture the.African lady teaching the other Africans to learn English which may help them from the future. Peekay inspired the Africans to learn it so that’s why when the Jewish people talking to them they can understand it. The purpose of the director is too show to the audience that the African lady teach others English what peekay teach to her and peekay encourage her to teach it to othersThis makes the audience shocked and amazed because after what happened to Maria the Africans still learning English even though Maria died they are still inspiring themselves. This combines with first when Maria died from the Jewish soldier who hit her on a head that causes her death. And also when they trying to teach the Africans to learn English but suddenly the Jewish soldiers came up to them try to kill everyone and destroy everything.
This link to when peekay and his grandfather that goes to the Africans. And they have to stay there for a long time to help the African to plant something or anything else.


2nd Paragraph


The film aspect that the director has been used is mid shot where Maria’s part is showing up when she was looking at peekay. For example, here we see that Maria was shocked because Peekay stared at her while he is doing boxing and pk was amazed by her beauty even her friends noticed it. The purpose of this shot is to show to the audience that Peekay was so shocked when he see’s Maria in the middle of the arena, He was so amazed by her beauty. This makes the audience feel surprised and amazed because of her beautifulness. And also excited because Peekay actually met her. This combines with a lighting from a camera and elegant clothes that she is wearing that makes the audience look on her. This can link with when peekay was of the African men who were talking to him about his future.


3rd Paragraph


The film aspect that the director has been used was is medium close up shot which showing peekay and the African was doing a training for their boxing career. As we can see in the picture that the two men were doing a practice for their boxing that some of Africans came proudly for the peekay doing for them. The purpose of the director is too show to the audience that Africans was raising him for what he did for the Africans life. This makes the audience feel proud because of what peekay did the boxing for the Africans was experiencing apartheid so that's why the Africans were so proud of him. This combines with the dark background and a little bit of exposure so it can focus on the drawing on the window. This link to when peekay was fighting against the other white men which peeekay was trying to give up but he realizes he has something to do with the Africans.

4th Paragraph


For this film aspect that being used is medium close up shot which showing Botha is about to kill/shoot Peekay. For example, here we can see botha in his frightening and terrifying look holding a gun and he is ready to shoot Peekay. The director chooses this shot to directly show to the audiences how Botha is really an antagonist man in this movie. This visualizes that Botha is really gonna stand even on his last breath just to kill peekay. This makes the audience feel terrified and scared of Botha and he has the ability to carry and his power to kill somebody. This combines with the blood on Botha's head and the gun which he is holding while pointing it to peekay. This can be linked to when peekay was pushed to be a sign of defeat. The two of the scenes portraying losing and until the end part achieving nothing and pursuing something can cause failure.
