New Year Eve and my family and I were just doing our daily things: sleeping in, doing house work, playing, or watching TV. This day went very slow and I was very happy because I love having a break, but I miss talking to my friends on a daily basis. Around 11:30 my parents called me and my brother up from down stairs to watch the ball drop down and begin a new year, but this year was very different from all the other years. Normally my family has friends over, but we spent it alone. I was thinking we are suppose to be having fun and being with our friends and having a bunch of good clean fun. It’s New Years and ten minutes after we went right to bed. This was totally weird. I was always spending this time with close friends and staying up until 3 o’clock or 4 o’clock. I was not happy to start the New Year off like this but Happy that there is A New Year ahead of us. So I went to sleep and woke up and got all nervous because I had basketball practice at 10 o’clock in the morning and it was ten forty-five. I took my phone about to call my coach and saw it was Friday. I have practice on Saturday. I was so glad I did not miss practice I went right back to my bed and listened to some music. I later woke up at eleven forty-five and started my New Years off by eating a big bowl of cereal.

Normally my family and I who are my Dad, Mom, brother, two sisters, Grandpa and Grandma eat at my house but since my Grandfather had hip surgery he did not feel like driving and it would be too risky. After some thinking we decided to go to a restaurant on Christmas Eve. After a few days go by it is already Christmas Eve. My family drives out to their house and my Grandpa says he is not going because his hip hurts him too much and it is hard to walk, and my Grandmother was just not feeling good so they stayed home while we went out to eat because we had reservations. This was a surprise for us and we felt very sad. After we were about to leave we ordered them some food. The restaurant gave us a huge portion, enough to last my grandparents four days. We drove back to their place and separated the food so all my grandparents needed to do is put the plate in the microwave. My grandparents gave us our Christmas cards since they were not coming to our house on Christmas and we opened them finding about 150 each in the cards. There are four grand children so that’s a lot of money. After about a half hour my family went home and were all excited for Christmas so we all went to bed at around 10:00 which was kin of early, but not too early. For some reason I could not sleep and I kept waking up in the middle of the night.

My reaction is that any one can change something they believe in, even just one person. It was nice to see that not everyone was racist and treated everyone as equal. PK was in the prison because Doc was found to be German, so the police took him in and PK had no where else to stay. At the prison PK learns how to box and he becomes very good at it. The guards at the jail treated the African men very bad. Sometimes they may beat them if the job wasn’t done the way they like it. When someone important came to the jail PK and Doc prepared a song about how the guards are weak inside and that they were cowards. This made the prisoners feel good and a little freedom was given. Later in the movie he has an option to box an African man and chooses to do it. This may very well be against the law but he has no racism in him. PK was English and the English men were despised and so PK kind of knew what it felt like to be hated. PK fell in love with a girl who dad would not approve him being with his daughter because he was English. This made PK mad and it never stopped him from seeing this girl. Towards the end of the movie the girl dies from accidentally being hit from a night stick. At the funeral the dad is so angry and picks up a shovel and tries to hit PK but is stopped by some of the dad’s friends.
