Good morning,
Please begin by watching the videos below: Watch- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS5xy7iHJ6o Watch- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXYnMRY5f_E Write down at least 1-2 two portions of the interview where Chris tells his story, in his own words. Now, what is most compelling about hearing Chris tell his own story versus having someone else tell his story? What is the same? What is different? Which do you like best? Why? Compare/contrast the differences. What motivated Chris most? What details did Chris use to illustrate his story? Additionally, try to reflect a bit. For example, what lessons did Chris share that are inspiring to you personally? Why? I look forward to reading your responses. :-) Kind regards, Mrs. Weatherby

I loved it. I think him telling the story made it better because I could see the hurt, or hate behind his eyes where everything is factual rather than someone looking into the story. It made me very emotional when he told us that he had a abusive father. He made heart touching promises to his son. It actually did teach me to know that when you're at your lowest there's only one place you want to be and that's all the way at the top.

The story of Mr.Chris was very interesting. I didn't know that the pursuit of happiness was based on a true story. I find it interesting that this man never gave up, he was sleeping on a railway station floor and his office floor with his son but he never gave up. He proved that you don't have to become what you grow up around and that help me see that I can be great in life.

when he told us that he had a abusive father. he made a promise to his son that he would not do the same things his step dad did to him as a child. His son can grow up n be a very special person in the world.

When he told his story I could see the hurt and hate in his eyes It was very emotional when he said that he had a abusive father. He made promises to his son and keep them. It taught me that when you're at your lowest just keep grinding to go to where you wanna be.

This story of Chris was very interesting and Kind of heart broken. I didn't know that the pursuit of happiness was based on a true story. I find it interesting that he never gave up, he was sleeping on a railway station floor and his office floor with his son but he never turned his back and went a separate way from his son. He proved that you dont have run from a struggle if you see or be in a struggle .

The story that Chris told was both inspiring and interesting. Chris was abused by his step father and because of this he was determined to never treat his children like he was treated. Even when there was hard times, he still managed to provide for his child. The most compelling about listening to Chris tell his own story versus someone else telling it is that when he tries it, there is emotion and more in depth detail into each scenario. If it was told my someone else, they wouldn’t know the thoughts and certain emotions towards certain events that occurred in his life. However if it was told by someone else, they would be able to use correct time periods and details to describe what happened to him. The best thing that I liked was that he started from being on the lowest level in the U.S. into being a multi-millionaire and living a lavish lifestyle. Chris was mainly motivated by his son which allowed him to push himself and work harder so that him and his son would have a better life. A lesson that Chris learned that is inspiring to me is when he learned to treat his son better than his step father treated him. Also, another lesson he learned is to decide where he wanted his life to go while living inside of a public bathroom. By doing so, he plotted his next moves in order to change his livelihood.

The way Chris told his own story was more genuine because you could feel his emotions. The difference between the other interview was that it wasn't a personal story to the other man so it was less emotions. I think what motivated him the most was his son because he knew he had someone else to live for and take care of. And a lesson that he shared was basically to never give up even at your lowest point.

I fell that this a success story and it made me think that great things can come from any were because would not think that the bone density scanner would come for a man that was homeless and had to live in a bathroom with his son. so this story makes me think that i can do anything I want to do. thank you for the site

I didn't know pursuit of happiness was based off a trued story. It was sad when I watched the movie because the way he struggled and still never gave up was so inspiring. 8/27/2017 04:47:45 pm
I loved it and made me cry. the main part of the movie was when he was on the streets not making anything for his son. I loaned never give up in your dreams and if you work hard enough you will make it. Leave a Reply. |
