Four questions:

1、What’s the main idea and the message or value of the movie that the director is going to convey?

T.S Spivot ran away from family to look for his pine tree which can save him. And on his way to the institution, he found familiy is still the only place that he missed and loved.

2、Find three points that most touching or what you think is the most important details(conversation、picture or plot).

A/ What is education? When T.S had different answers to teacher's questions, the teacher gave him C. T.S showed the magazine which published his ideas related to the answer, the teacher yelled at him and humiliated him. Is this the real teacher who teach students? I still remeber in the movie Front of Class, the teacher Brad, he was lucky met a great principal and then he became a great teacher.That's education. 

B/ Steady in your boots. The driver gave T.S hitchhike and told him, don't change a thing, steady in your boots. T.S wish him could find his pine tree, which means something could save him. Actually, for all of us, maybe we'er all not sure what we are looking for, but always keep in mind, steady in your boots. 路在脚下

C/ T.S felt so guilty for his brother's death. But after Layton's death, no one asked him what happened at that time. All the family members were all busying in their own staffs, no one comfort him. Finally, he shared the whole story on the stage when he won a famous prize. Then he released. No matter a kid or a grown up, we all need a chance to share our emotions, that's very important.

     Family is always the place where we can get power, courage and energy. Communication is vital.
