The document summarizes the reasons why the author enjoys the movie Soul Surfer. The three main reasons are: 1) It is based on a true story about Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm in a shark attack at age 13. 2) The author also loves surfing and can relate to Bethany. 3) The movie keeps the viewer entertained with various dramatic moments as it shows Bethany's recovery and return to surfing competitions.

2. My favourite movie is Soul Surfer. One of my three
reasons why I really enjoy watching this movie is
because it is a true story. I really love true stories
because I know how the people live, and learn about
the places they live in. I also like true stories because it
is amazing to see 13teen year old Bethany Hamilton
loose 60 per cent of her blood in a shark attack.
My second reason is I love to surf too. I used to surf in
South Africa. So I think Bethany and I have something
in common. I also like the surfing competitions
because I imagine me doing all those amazing and
spectacular tricks some day.

3. I really found this movie entertaining because
there was so much going on at the same time so
you never get bored. When Bethany was surfing
with her best Alana I felt really happy because
they where laughing and having fun, but then
when there was a competition and I felt really
worried because there were no good and
powerful waves in the sea. Then I felt really
scared because suddenly a shark jumps out of the
water and bites Bethany's left arm off and I was
so terrified. I also felt down and sad because
Bethany couldn’t do every thing she used to do,
But Bethany never gave up after a couple of
months and years. In know time she was back in
the water doing the thing she loves best
SURFING !
