My Thoughts on "Snowy the Turtle"

-

 

Snowy is a short film documentary released in 2020. I thought this documentary was very interesting. At the beginning of the film, it shows the three sons of Larry talking about Snowy. They really had nothing to say about him, as they didn't even take care of him.  The only person that took care of Snowy was Larry and he didn't even take care of him that well. Snowy was not properly taken care of. His tank was never properly cleaned and he didn't eat properly.  Poor Snowy was very neglected. 

  Towards the middle of the film, Snowy was taken to the vet, that's when Larry was told Snowy's beak was cut off. The fact that the family didn't even know his beak was cut off shows how much Snowy was neglected. It really bothers me that he was never was taken of properly. Why get a pet if you don't know how to take care of it. It wasn't until the end of the documentary that they figured out Snowy was depressed. They've had Snowy for years and just figured out then that he was depressed. Larry didn't know that until the specialist saw how they took care of it. The family was told to bring Snowy outside. Seeing Snowy outside being all happy made me happy. That turtle only deserves happiness and I hope the family will include Snowy more.

    I agree with you that Larry was really the only person to take care of Snowy. His tank was definitely too small in the beginning and he was neglected by the family. It was nice to see the family finally starting to care for snowy. Do you think that the family waited too long to change how they treated Snowy?

    I agree with you about how you think that they shouldn't have gotten Snowy if they didn't know how to properly take care of him. I think that they should have gotten another pet that is easier to take care of or at least do some research on turtles beforehand. I also share the happiness of seeing Snowy becoming happier.

  Was there a specific scene that got to you? Describe and explain how it moved you. The specific scene that got to me was in the very beginning of the documentary, this guy talked about how this girl lying about him raping her changed his life forever. This man said he couldn’t sleep at night and he couldn’t trust women the same ever again. The girl who claimed to have been raped by this man was a complete stranger to the man, he had never met her in his life. This really got to me because I see a bunch of stuff on social media of these stars getting in trouble for raping minors, but a lot of these minors either lied about their age to the celebrity or lied about it all together. These celebrities will probably be in jail for the rest of their life just because someone lied.  What surprised you? Why do you think it caught you off guard? Something that surprised me in this documentary was why they didn’t test for DNA during the trials. The judges will allow for testing for DNA...

What's Happening In My Head

 This week has been very stressful to me. I have been working everyday. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I just want a break. I have homework to do for school. And speaking of school, that brings on a whole different issue. I am only in one class and I already feel like I am behind. I'm struggling to figure out what I want to do in school or if school is even for me. Right now I feel like school isn't for me. It just stresses me out too much and I have no motivation to do any of my work or go to class. Every time I get out of class, I try to do my work, but every time I pull out my laptop, I just want to cry. I don't have any idea of what could be wrong though. I also feel like I am very lost in the class. Talk about a great start to college. I sometimes wish college wasn't required for almost every career. At least the careers that make the most money. College doesn't even teach you what is needed to know for that job. Most of the stuff needed for a job is ta...
