reflection on Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah is talented and also full of passion about scrabble. She stands out from the rest of the classmates. However, she feels alien to the school life and also is annoyed by being called brainiac due to her extraordinary talent. Therefore, she hides her desire in the dark. Akeelah lives in the inferior community, so she isn't well-educated in using proper language in different situation. What's worse, her mother is busy with her work and spends much more time disciplining her brother, so Akeelah doesn't get the support from her mother to compete in the competition. Although her living environment fills with fights, discouragement and distraction which keep disturbing her, she still can recover and move on  by holding a faith in her father. Also, I think Akeelah is very lucky. She gets help and courage from her elder brother, the companion met in the regional competition and also the professor of UCLA whom Akeelah has once offended. Although it seems like challenging from the begging, success will belong to those who  insist on working hard.
