I got a email about a month ago asking me if I wanted to delete my blogger, I then realized I haven't used it in months but I had no blog ideas then I thought of this,its a list of all the medical based shows,films & books that have inspired me this year, I also want to do a people/avent one but that will be after the new year as I have only just thought of it. Amyway plz enjoy my list
FILMS:
NETFLIX:A christmas prince: I think the title of this mostly gives it away but to sum it up after his dads death the prince goes off travelling to "find himself" no~one knows where he's gone or anything but he has to come back to claim the throne. So the kindgdom has a press comfrence for his return & loads of press come, only the prince doesn't show so one of the reporters sneaks into the palace pretending to be the princess's new tutor. She spends her time spying on the royals & starts writing a newspaper aticle to send off when she gets back home.
She also finds out a big family secret that could stop the prince becoming the heir & gas to find a way to fix it.
I loved this because it was the first time have ever seen a disabled princess,I also loved how she wasnt petied on & was pretty much allowed to do anything any other princess would do in her own way but not treated any diffrently,I also loved how we got to see her realtionship with the reporter because that friendship helped her so much throghout the film & sequel because any doughts she had she fixed.
Wonder:Wonder is the story of August a boy with facial differences who begins fifth grade at mainstream elementary school for the first time in his life. I really enjoyed this because again you get to see everyone elses point of view about Auggie's illness & not just his side of his story.
TV SHOWS:
Alexa & Katie:
I atually wrote a big blog on this & my love for it do instead of re writing it or parts of it heres the link https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blogger.g?blogID=4192252646603289566#editor/target=post;postID=6375938035549218001;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=1;src=postname
TDG: Theres not alot to say here I just really love the diversity of this show theres so much going on. Not alot of shows have disabled charcters or charcters with disabilities yet this has mutiple. I think its so important to give everyone some sort of voice & for eveyone to see themselves & this show does that better than any other.
KATY: The Katy series was based on Jaquline Wilson's book KATY that was based on what Katy did. Katy has a rope swing accident & ends up in a wheelchair,the show follows her journey for the next few months. My favrouite thing was how we got to see what was going on on her imagination as well as it atually showing her emotions through what she said or how she acted. I think it would of been better for them to have made it into a film instead of a few IPlayer episodes & I aldo think it could of been lonfer as the end seemed a little rused but over all I really enjoyed it.
MY LIFE& Living diffrently I love both of these because they show a variety of diffrent kids doing diffrent things regardless of ability or age
Inventing the impossible: This show was a joy to watch because you could tell all the inventors really wanted to help ,& were not just hierd to do a job they seemed like real people. The stories of the people they were inventing for were also always really well told & that was such a important part of the show,the things thr maanged to do with tbese inventions were incredable,it was such a jolly thing to watch.
BOOKS:
From a distant star: This follows the story of a alien who has crash landed on planet earth & a boy who is dying from cancer. To hide from the humans the alien gets inside the boys body cures his cancer & becomes him. But a team of Space scientists are tracking down thr alien so the alein uses the boys body as a disquies & convinces his gf to help him get back home.
This story wasnt very medical other than the cancer stuff at the begining but I really enjoyed it & wanted to make the list longer😂
Looking at the stars:I loved this because Lewis really captured what its likr to have a illness no matter how big or small that may be but in a positive way making you be able to laugh as well as cry.
