Gibbes Museum of Art:  A Day at the Museum

What: It was a museum with art pictures.
Who: I went with my friends Lonnie, Trent, and Eric.
When: I went on December 4. Right after school was ended.
Where: It is on 135 Meeting Street Charleston, South Carolina.
Price: It cost seven dollar for seniors to come and look around at the Gibbes Museum.

The Gibbs Museum had some really interesting art pictures.  Some were very cool.  Some were a little different and didn't really look like anything.  They had old pictures showing people from a long time ago but they also had pictures of people that are celebrities that we know today, like Jay-Z and the Beatles.  It was a very big museum with three stories and a lot of rooms to walk around and look at the pictures.

I was surprised that I actually liked the museum.  I have never been to an art museum before.  Some of the art I did not like, but some of it was interesting.  My favorite part of the museum was the room that had all of the pictures of the musicians and celebrities.  It is a place that I would maybe go again.    

October Baby:  Finding the Real Mother

What:  October Baby about a girl that was adopted.
Who:  I watched the movie at school with a lot of other students.
When:  The movie was after school one afternoon in November.
Where:  At First Baptist School, 48 Meeting Street.
Price:  Free

The movie was about a girl that was adopted.  She did not find out that she was adopted until she was 18.  She left and went to find her mother.  She found her aunt and then found her mother.  Her mom acted like she didn't know her.  Her mom had given her up for adoption because she could not take care of her.  The daughter left her mom a note later and told her she forgives her.  Then the girl went back to her home.

I thought the movie was something that a girl would like more that a movie that a boy would like.  It was a good movie, but I don't think I would watch it again.  It was a good story and made me think about what it would be like to be adopted.

City Gallery at Waterfront Park: One Crazy Art Gallery

What:  The City Gallery at Waterfront Park
Who:  I went to the art gallery with Jenny and Bradford.
When:  I went to the gallery on December 5, 2012 during my study hall break.
Where:  The art gallery is in downtown Charleston near the waterfront park.
Price:  Free

The City Gallery at Waterfront Park had some strange pictures.  Most of them were abstract art that had lots of colors and strange objects in the pictures.  There were also art sculptures in the gallery.  There were not any other people in the gallery when we went there.  It was a two story building with a lot of art to look at.

I was surprised that the City Gallery was free.  I really did not like the art that they had because a lot of it was strange.  One strange thing was a clothes line that had clothes hanging on it.  All of the clothes had paint all over them.  I did not understand why it was in an art gallery.  I don't think I would want to go back there again.

The King's Speech:  Working Hard and Believing in Yourself

What:  The King's Speech is a movie about King George VI.
Who:  I watched this movie with other students at the school.
When:  I watched this movie after school one afternoon in October.
Where:  I watched this movie in Ms. Clark's room at First Baptist School, 48 Meeting Street.
Price:  Free

This movie is a true story about King George VI who had a stuttering problem.  He works hard with a speech therapist to learn how to talk without stuttering.  He is very nervous about making the King's Speech that would be on the radio.  Speech therapy helped him.  On the day that he had to make the speech, he was very nervous.  He had his speech therapist come in the room with him and he did the speech very well.  Everyone was very proud of him.

I liked this movie because I really like true stories.  I also liked it because I had to have a speech therapist too for many years to learn how to talk.   I learned that you should always believe in yourself and work hard.    If you work hard and don't give up, you can do many things.  I would watch this movie again.
