Supergirl || Pilot Episode || TV Show Review

  

The newest show on CBS, Supergirl, aired its pilot last night. The actress who plays the famous female super hero is Melissa Benoist, who is famously known for her role as Marley Rose, a timid singer, on season 5 of Glee.
Before watching this show I knew little to nothing about Supergirl, I had known of Superwoman and of course Superman, but not Supergirl.
After watching the pilot here's what I've gathered about the new series main character.

• She is Superman's cousin
• She was sent at the same time as Superman to protect him
• At that time she was around 14 years old, making her older than Superman
• But as her pod leaves Krypton, it is affected my the planet's explosion that it drifts through space for roughly 20 years!
• Then her pod eventually regains it's initial course and makes its way to Earth
• Supergirl lands on Earth, where her cousin Superman, has already become the super hero he was born to be.
• Superman finds her crashed pod and then takes his cousin to live with the same foster family he lived with
• Instead of becoming a famous hero, Supergirl, who goes by Kara, grows up as normal as possible and ends up working for a media company
• She is a secretary although she longs to follow in the footsteps of her cousin...

Comment below what you thought of the show, or if your going to watch it!!

The Five People You Meet in Heaven || Current Book Update

   This is one of the first few books I've had to read this semester. For my English course on Human Adulthood I had to read, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom. This book as about an elderly man who tragically passes away, and in heaven, he meets five people who have played a role in his life. Each of the five people, teach Eddie, the main character, a lesson, which in turn helps him understand why his life turned out the way it did.

   I really enjoyed reading this book, it has also been adapted as a movie. The book, was a smooth, quick read, that has lots of different and compelling imagery. I'd like to share the five lessons recited in this book, by the people Eddie meets in heaven.

1. "There are no random acts." (48) ~ This goes well with what we are all told, everything happens for a reason. 
2. "Sacrifice is a part of life." (93) ~ Sacrifice should not be looked down upon, it should be treated with serenity and gratefulness.
3. Learn to forgive (142) ~ Holding onto negativity that stems from an experience only weighs you down. Let it go and forgive, the first to forgive is the happiest.
4. Everyone has a purpose (191) ~ Never feel that you are not special. Everyone has a role in life. We all impact each other's lives, and that is what shapes us into who we become. We can only become wise from our experiences. You are unique, there is a reason God created you with the qualities you have. Take advantage of your skills, excel in life and be happy.
