Finding essence of writing
The "Finding Forrester" movie beyond to be a beautiful story, the movie give us lessons about writing both in the teacher's role as in the writing learner´s role. To us like teacher or future teachers, the movie presents short learnings according as Forrester, thoroughly, corrects the Jamal´s text and puts comments to help the boy. This reminds me a professor that I know and she has the same method. I confess that I learned much more with her comments and rewriting my texts than if she had just corrected my grammar. When we talk about writers´ role , the movie shows that this practice has no secret! The writing improvement is through writing, writing and rewriting. I opposed the Holder words in his weak and derisively critical, "Finding Forrester" is much more than "shameless male weepies", it is a great lesson to teachers and writing learners.
