Newboy Review

I watched a short film called Newboy and I really enjoyed it because of how much I can relate to it. It is about a kid from Africa named Joseph goes to an irish school where it is a total change for him.

I think the short film was very good because of how I can relate to it.I know what it is like to be a new kid in school and not know a thing that is going on in that school. I was just like Joseph because I would not talk with anyone for awhile because I knew no one. I would be just like Joseph when he sat in his desk in the movie and did not even bother talking with anyone. I wonder if Joseph has been to any other schools before? I have been to so many different schools in my lifetime so far. I don't care what people say going to all these different schools is not easy because of all the friends you made in the old school and now you are leaving. I remember when Joseph had flash backs of talking with his friends and I had flash backs of my friends as well such as talking with them.

Why do people always pick on the new kid? This question is what has been around a long time with no definite answer. I remember when just like Joseph I was treated a little different at some schools I went to such as like in the film people bother you for no reason when you are just trying to fit in. I remember when it was lunch time I would mostly keep to myself by sitting by myself. The first thing I did was find a table and sit by myself in order to observe others.

Overall, this little film was very good because of how someone who has been to a new school can relate to Joseph. This short film would be best shown to those who need someone to relate to who has been from a familiar environment to a totally different one.
