Four-time Olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens said, “We all have dreams. But making dreams come true takes a lot of determination. , dedication, self-discipline and effort. Dedication is the key word that stands out, because it is dedication that drives each of us to do something with our lives. When we are dedicated; we are committed, we are devoted to our own thoughts, actions and decisions. Without our dedication, we would not have the courage to achieve our goals, we would not have the courage to stand up to a bully, nor the courage to do what is right. The dedication can be seen in many, including Frank McCourt, a character in the film Angela's Ashes, directed by Alan Parker and based on the book by Frank McCourt. Frank is a young Irish boy who goes through many difficult and difficult times; his family lives in poverty, his father leaves and reappears several times, and he has lost brothers and sisters. Although Frank experienced many horrible things; his dedication to cinema, his need to go to America and his family is not only very evident throughout the film, but it also shapes him as a character. Frank is a person who has dedication in his life; he makes decisions that affect others and he sticks to those decisions. Even though my life isn't as intense and depressing as Frank's, I can still relate to him. The one very strong aspect that binds Frank and me is dedication. I devote myself to cinema; Frank has the same dedication I have to filmmaking for himself and his family. Frank and I both fell in love with cinema at a young age, we both put others before ourselves and try to make others happy, and we both take time out of our own lives to expand our possibilities of...... middle of paper......his dedication. When Frank and I were children, we fell in love with cinema and storytelling. We both saw it as an escape and a new world, we both dedicated ourselves to cinema and telling stories. Frank and I also share a desire to make the most of our own lives and to work hard to ensure our success. Whether it’s helping our family, giving to others, or working hard to make others happy; Frank and I share our dedication to many things. Dedication is very important in people's lives. This keeps them motivated, loyal and hopeful. Without Frank's dedication, we wouldn't have gone to America and his family would still be depressed. Without my dedication, my love for cinema and my dream of becoming a filmmaker would disappear. Dedication changes everyone's life and what you dedicate yourself to makes all the difference.
