Blog Response (October Sky)

There were a lot of dreams that were accomplished, and some were crushed. In the movie October Sky, there were many rocket launches. There was a teenage boy named Homer Hickam was always interested in building rockets. He built them, but always failed. He then received help from his friends. This movie is very inspiring because it encourages everyone to do what they believe in and never give up till you get it right. This movie showed cooperation because all four boys helped each other till they got it right and made sure what they were doing was right because when they do a launch on display, it would be successful. In conclusion, eventhough Homer's father wasn't happy of what he was doing, Homer Hickam was happy with what he was doing and went to win the science fair near the end of the movie.
