Monsters Promote Girl Power and Friend Power

Today, I was told to right a 200 word essay about a article on the CNN Student News that I thought was interesting. The first thing that caught my eyes was a article headline that had the word monster in it. Well being the age that I am I was pumped to read something about monsters. It is a article about the new movie coming out with monsters in it. If you like what you here in this summary you can click HERE to read the whole thing. Now to begin with the summary.

This movie is about the possible extinction of human beings and so a mad scientist creates monsters to save the world. All very weird and ugly. You would think that they were bad guys but they were the good guys. The reason why they had a girl playing the lead superhero was because when a guy asked his son what his favorite superhero. The boy could name off like 20 guy superheros. But he had asked his daughter who her favorite superhero was she had no idea. This article also says that they are happy that somebody is making a movie to tell little kids that it is alright to be different. The movie is suppost to tell many girls that their are girl superheros in the world and that it is just not the guys who can save the day. Also the article and the movie are trying to say that even if you are not in the popular group and aren't pretty it is ok because it is not bad to be different. Infact it is good because everybody is different. Whether it be the way they talk, the way they look, and even the way smell. It is good to be different.


Now if you would ask me I would say that I would go see that movie in a heart beat. I know how it is when you are trying to fit in and that movie would really help many young girls and maybe even guys learn that there is no need to try to act like other kids, you are great just the way you are. I also think that it is cool to finnaly have a girl superhero that will be remembered by girls and even guys. When I was little I had no favorite superhero because they were all guys. It never gave me any encouragement that maybe one I could save the world. Now since this movie has the star as a girl superhero girls all over the world can dream about saving the world one day just like the one on the movie. Thanks for reading my report have a great day.
