Literary Analysis of the FilmHow does it feel to start over in a completely new place? In the movie "The Karate Kid", Daniel, the main character, and his mother moved to California from New Jersey because of his mother's new job offer. Daniel started going to school in California and met a girl named Ali, who he started to like. He started dating her. Daniel was being beaten by some bullies; one of them was Ali's ex-boyfriend. They knew karate very well, but Daniel didn't. So Daniel decided to learn karate. Daniel and his mother lived in an apartment and one day he discovers that his apartment's handyman, Mr. Miyagi, knows karate very well. He asked Mr. Miyagi to teach him karate, and Mr. Miyagi became his karate teacher. It was difficult for him to make new friends in a new place and he believed that Mr. Miyagi would be the only best friend he would ever meet. Have you ever tried to find out who you are? Everyone's perspective on identity is different. For me, identity means the things that best describe me as who I am right now. In the movie "The Karate Kid", Mr. Miyagi is identified as a great karate teacher. Likewise, tennis coaches have different exercises to teach their students how to play tennis. In the film, Miyagi forces Daniel to do manual labor, such as painting fences, washing and polishing cars, and sanding wood floors using different karate moves to teach him karate. Daniel in the film is a growing teenager and a hardworking student. He followed what Miyagi had told him: “The teacher says, the student does.” As a result, he achieved victory in the "All Valley Karate Championship" and became a karate champion. In my view, when teachers teach students to cheat, students learn to cheat. When the student... in the center of the paper... is the child with whom I totally identify. I thought of the phrase Miyagi said in the movie, “Teacher says, student does,” which made me realize that a teacher makes students' futures brighter if students do what they say. Watching this movie I discovered that cheating is not the way to achieve victory. Moving to a new place is not a piece of cake. But after having good friends and learning life lessons, it's easier to settle in a new place. Rafael Nadal's world was devastated last year and now Roger Federer has been ruthlessly put to the sword, Swede Robin Soderling is clearly the undisputed champion-slayer of Paris. On Tuesday, as rain fell from the dark Parisian sky, Soderling towered in the darkness, unleashing lightning serves and ferocious forehands to leave the reigning Swiss champion reeling and silence a pro-Federer crowd on Court Chatrier.
