Final Fantasy Advent Children Zone

Set two years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, Cloud now leads a solitary life traveling the Planet as a transporter. The office of Strife Delivery Service is located in 7th Heaven, which also functions as an orphanage for children stricken with Geostigma.Three new enemies make an appearance in this Final Fantasy Advent Children. Kadaj, their leader, is in his teens, while Yazoo and Loz are known to be in their twenties. In them, Cloud sees shadows of FFVII’s fallen hero, Sephiroth. The three are after “Mother” and refer to Cloud as their “Brother”. Having obtained Jenova’s head, their purpose appears to be to start another Reunion. Vincent suspects that with Jenova’s cells, they may even be able to create another Sephiroth.A non- transmitted by direct or indirect contact disease known as Geostigma is spreading across the Planet, with Kadaj claiming that it is due to Jenova’s cells working hard in the Lifestream. Children tend to show signs of Geostigma first, though adults are susceptible to the disease as well. Symptoms of Geostigma include mental weakness, pain and even death. Cloud is known to suffer from this disease though he hides his affected arm beneath his sleeve. Victims bandage affected regions and it was Cloud’s used bandage, which Marlene found in the Church, that gave away his condition.In the Church there’s a fight between Tifa and Loz. Despite her courageous attempts, Tifa is ultimately defeated and Loz makes off with Marlene and the rest of the children. Cloud arrives late and brings the barely conscious Tifa back to 7th Heaven.Reno and Rude arrive at 7th Heaven, Cloud having been hired by Rufus to be his “bodyguard” from the three new foes. The ShinRa President suffers from Geostigma as well and is wheelchair-bound. Rufus has been reconstructing Midgar and searching for any traces of influence that Sephiroth might have left on the Planet, to which he has found none. He now resides at the Healin Lodge, also known as the Geostigma Sanatorium. The Turks report that the three silver-haired youths have brought the children to their headquarters, the City of the Ancients.Cloud still carries emotional scars from the last time we saw him. Weighed down by memories of loved ones he has lost and his physical condition, he now comes across as lack of hope. Ever the unwilling hero, it takes much persuasion from Tifa after the children are captured for Cloud to decide to go after them. Perhaps it is only during his dream-like encounter with Aerith on the way to the City of the Ancients that he finally makes some progress. The two meet back-to-back in the flower field, beneath a pure white sky. Cloud struggles to voice his desire to seek forgiveness, to which Aerith says that she already has forgiven him. Comfort but still unsure, Cloud sets out on his path of improving things.Kadaj speaks to the children by the shore of the lake in the City of the Ancients, rallying them to join forces with him against the Planet. They do unexpected attack to Cloud and the children form a circle around him, preventing his escape. Kadaj calls Cloud a traitor and is about to execute him when Vincent swoops down and brings Cloud to safety. Marlene escapes and rejoins Cloud and Vincent in the woods. They then chase the silver-haired youths and the children back to Midgar.Midgar is in chaos when they return. Kadaj has unleashed a swarm of Shadowcreepers which attack the townspeople while Cid, Barret, Vincent, Yuffie and Red XIII fight them off. Tifa is shown shielding Denzel, one of the orphans under her charge. Reno and Rude battle Yazoo and Loz respectively. Kadaj is seen looking down from a damaged building with Rufus, during which he summons Bahamut Sin. Cloud then practically flies towards the dragon, kamikaze-style, as it prepares to launch an attack on the city.It should be noted that Tifa, Cid, Yuffie, Red XIII and Marlene have each been seen carrying a ribbon. Cloud, too, has been spotted with one tied around his left arm during what appears to be a flashback. Here, his arm is not covered by a sleeve, presumably before he contracted Geostigma, and he is seen fingering the ribbon in the rain. Whether the ribbons are simply a gesture of friendship or even a sign of mourning remains uncertain.

The movie start by showing eva ( one of the main character in this movie) past time. There’s and incident that show, that her friends was shoot by a gun with the other races and there’s also a time when her father being caught by the police without doing anything wrong.

Then when eva growing up she began to fight with other races and other race territories.

Then the setting and the background of the movie starting to change, it’s starting to tell us more about the teacher named Mrs. Erin Gruwell (but is actually not only tell about the teacher life it also tell us the story about how racism do exist in Dean University of California) and she start to begin her first teaching experience in Dean University Of California. For your information in this university the class divided into 2 the first one is the honorable class and the other one is actually the ordinary class(The class that Erin Gruwell going to teach) you can say that.

Then Erin Gruwell start to teach the class on the next day and she feel pretty shock looking the condition of the class compare with the honorable class. She start to write down her name on the board and wait until the students come to the class because at that time the bell already ring and the students just arrive 5 minutes after the bell. At that time all the students being guide by the parole officer to go to the class, when they begin the class all the students start to arrange the desk according to their own races and then when one of the students start to speak something, but what he said is not true the other person from different races start to argue and they start to fight against each others.

On the next day Erin Gruwell start to teach them again and there’s some incident happened, one of the students (Tito if not mistaken) he draw a picture of Jamal (one of the black students) an that picture is insulting Jamal and the teacher find out about that pictures and start to angry to Tito and start to connect that incident to Holocaust. All the students don’t understand about Holocaust only one of them understand about holocaust. Then the teacher think of an idea how she can make the class understand about the holocaust and how she can make all the different races unite and play with each other. Then she come up with an idea that she’s going to borrow the book from the library, but the headmaster won’t allow Mrs. Erin Gruwell because if she lend that book to Mrs. Erin Gruwell she knows that all of her students will not read not book and instead of reading all of the students will just tear them up and draw on it. At that time Mrs. Gruwell feel mad and disappointed that the headmaster would not lend the book and does not trust the students, but Mrs. Gruwell don’t easily give up she start to work part time at the restaurant and hotel, therefore she can buy the books for all of the students with that money. At night there’s an terrible incident that happen in the mini market, eva and her gang go to that market and at that mini market she meet with the her class mate (different race) at that market. At that market there’s also a boy with different races playing games and after 3 minutes that incident happened, eva friends mistaken shoot a person. He should shoot that boy ( the boy that playing games ) but in this case he shoot eve classmate. The next day is judgment time and eva as the witness lied about that incident last night, she’s doing this because she is scared that she is going to be kicked out from the gang.

On the next day go back to school surprisingly Mrs. Gruwell play game with the student the game called the line. The purpose of this game is actually to make all the different races go face to face with each other and to make them does not feel uncomfortable with different races and actually that game work.

This day is a very special day, because Mrs. Gruwell and her class going to a trip to study and understand more about holocaust. Then this trip continues at the restaurant, when all of the survivor from the World War 2 come to that restaurant and tell all their stories.
When we pay attention we can realize that all of the students now can be gather and play with the different races and talk as a friend.

On the next day eva complain to Mrs. Gruwell about the end of the book that’s almost the same as her life. One of the boy that hear what eva surprisingly give Mrs. Gruwell an idea, the idea is to infite the secretary of Anne Frank named Miep Gies” but the only problem is they don’t have enough money to invite Ms. Miep Gies. Then the students have this wonderf

ul idea they do the fun raising by sell some food and performing dance. Finally they achieve they goal to invite Ms. Miep Gies, one day Mrs. Miep Gies arrive to that school and she told her experience during World War 2 with Anne Frank.

Finally at the end of the movie Mrs. Gruwell told all the students to type all of their diaries. After all the students type all of their diaries they finally decide to make it as a novel. Then finally that novel is really published in the real world.

One of my favorite scene in that movie is when Mrs. Erin Gruwell as the teacher debate with the students about holocaust because one of the student draw and make fun of other people. In this scene we can see easily how the way each of the character pronoun because in this scene the students are angry therefore it’s easy to see the pronunciation clearly . Now I will explain each character pronoun:
· Eva: When she’s angry the way she pronoun is more clearly maybe because she’s shouting, but in some case when she’s sobbing the way she talk is little bit more quite and unclear.
· Tito ( if I’m not mistaken ): His voice is more quite and they way he’s not is not clear, maybe it also because at that time he’s the one who make that problem.
· Mrs. Gruwell: Her pronunciation is just as clear as she talk normally, but she talk a little bit more faster. Maybe it because she’s feel angry too at that time
· The other black man: He talk with his basses voice therefore there’s some of his word and sentence that we cannot hear clearly.



According to the opinion that given by the teacher also on one of the website I agree with her opinion, because she said “ in real life is pretty tough to be the teacher that is strong, brave and never give up easily like Mrs. Gruwell” for me what she said is absolutely correct. Why? Because if we pretend as a teachers we probably cannot be as tough as Mrs. Gruwell that taught the same kids for about 4 years. I also agree when she said that “ we should taught the kid how to write diary” Why I agree because from the diary they can express their feelings and not only that from writing diary they can practice their writing and grammar. But actually I quiet disagree when she said “the kids' diaries broach many issues I don't think middle schoolers (or even me) are quite equipped to deal with in such a way (homelessness, death, rape, racism, abortion, aids, sexual preference, abuse, sex, gang violence, cancer, drugs, etc” the reason I disagree is that why the middle school not suppose to know and understand about this problems. If they face the same things like that in the reality, we also should teach them therefore they can understand more clearly. But most of her opinion about Mrs. Gruwell I agree because Mrs. Gruwell is the example of a good and heroic teacher that is hard to find in this world.
