Text Type: Movie/Film Trailer 

Boogie Trailer Link

Text Creator: Eddie Huang 

Text Purpose: To understand racism is happening and really needs to stop.

Date: 19 h of February 2021

Matrix Question: What is the text about? How do we know 

Statement: In the film Boogie directed by Eddie Huang it suggests and is based around racism and how it can effect peoples life's. it also touches on how just because of your race you cant have the same opportunities than others.  

In the trailer you can see a young Asian boy wanting to pursue his dreams of becoming a basketball player but because of his race a lot of people choose not to let him play. Even coaches are being stereotypes and not letting him join its in my opinion idiotic. Racism is still a problem in today's world and it really needs to stop. I breaks my heart seeing people with colour or a different race being treated differently. This movie really shows racism because you can see a young boy just wanting to become an athlete but is being stopped because of something he cant change.

Summer Holidays

"Ahhh!!!  It's finalllllyyyyy Christmas" I screamed in excitement. I felt like I was in heaven, I walked out and rushed over to my overly packed stocking. Most of the things inside were lollies and little petite toys. After ripping my stocking open I rushed to wake everyone up. I started with my Mum then my two older brothers. They all slowly stumbled over to the presents "To be fair it was like 8 in the morning". We spent the last hour nervously opening our presents it wasn't till the end where I got my pride and joy. My mum presented to me a card with my name on it which had the following words "head to the car and look whats inside". All I could remember was feeling so sick because of how nervous I was to see what was inside. I slowly approached the car and with my shaky hands I opened the car door. To then see my pride and joy my scooter an envy one s3, I jumped up and down with pure happiness and excitement and felt as if I was on cloud 9. 

It was finally the day the day I have been waiting for the day I can finally ride my scooter at the skate park. I was so nervous and shaky inside to even go let alone attempt anything. But I knew if I didn't go I'd regret it and have to wait longer because of weather purposes. I packed my things up and headed out the door and wandered to the skate park. Where I was accompanied by my two mates how got me into scootering in the first place.
