Bobby was happy when he move to portland. He was happy with his new life and was starting to accept the way he was and not the way he was pretending to be. David made him feel good and that was all we wanted. But it didn't too long to rapidly change. For bobby's birthday his mother sent him a sweater and brochures about aids, how aids was becoming the gay disease. Bobby was hurt, he realized that his mother was not going to accept him for what he is. So he decided to stop having what he use to call a mother and son relationship. After David and Bobby became partners, David started to cheating on Bobby. That was when his world turned upside down. Bobby realizes that he had no one in his life so he decided to take his own life away. When they heard of his death his mother started blaming everyone but herself. But later she realizes that it was mostly her fault for not accepting her son for who he was. Her and others tried to past law for homosexuals but they lost. After all she started supporting the gays and realizes that Bobbywas right all along.
"I will go whereever i can to deliver that message. I worry, 'Am i spinning my wheels? Are the kids listening? Is it getting through to them that they are okay?' D'ont give up on love, that's what Bobby did." (Aaron 238)
One thing i like about this quote is that it shows Bobby's mother that love doesn't have a meaning to it, meaning you can love whoever you want to love. it doesn't matter if it's a guy or a girl. Although it took Bbby's death for her to realize it, she still making sure that no kids give up on love.

Prayers for Bobby

As I was watching Prayers for Bobby I realized that the camera was doing a lot of shifting to change the frame. When Bobby was having thoughts of killing himself in the beginning of the film the room was rotating in circle. This tells me that Bobbt was confuse about who he was and what he wanted to do to be normal again. As Bobby started getting comfortable he started changing the way he dressed and also his tone. His tone would change when he try to tell his mother that there was nothing she could do to change him and also when he would start crying, his voice became so much calmer sometimes. The music would change everytime Bobby was about to get himself in trouble or kill himself. In the middle of the movie before Bobby fell down a bridge the camera showed me a long shot looking downward. It showed how steep it was and how there was no chance for survival if Bobby decided to jumped. After watching the movie I really lile the fact that Bobby wasn'the only one that had obstical, his mother also had some obstacles that she was going through. She realizes that her son being gay wasn't a choice, and she wanted to prove to everyone that was against homosexual that it was okay to be gay and that God wou d love them no matter what.

Prayers for Bobby

When I was watching Prayers for Bobby I was really suprise of how the relationship with him and his mother was act out in the movie. I love how the director started the movie in a good matter because it showed me all the obstocals that Bobby had to go through since he find out he was not normal. In the beginning of the movie the light was shining over Bobby only. And it just shows that Bobby was everyone's favorite in the family especially a mama's boy, that was why when he told tshem that he was gay everyone kind of accepted but his mother. Throughout the movie Bobby's character shows the emotions and the frustration that he felt toward his mother. Each character had a way of taking what Bobby had to tell them. Some of them understood and some of them didn't know how it was possible especially because they knew it was a sin base on their faith. So since the movie is base on a true story, it made me think about the real people. also when I was watching the movie I realize that the movie had sevperal close up shot to show people the emotions of each charactors.
