This blog post is due at midnight, tonight, Wednesday, April 15. No excuses.
I think that the man’s life before meeting the woman in the train station was boring. He was always living the same thing; such as, waking up, going to train station, going to his work and then taking the train again and going home. Anything special was part of his life. He was just doing the same things again and again, day after day. Also, we can notice that the job he had wasn’t a job he likes. Maybe it was the only place that he found to work. That’s how we can explain his ambition to found the women he met in the train station; she illuminated his life that day. She became the key of his happiness the day he met her. She was the materialization of hope; the secret ingredient to a non-boring life.
ReplyDeleteShe adds the dressing to his boring salad life!
DeleteThe man's life before he met the woman at the train station was boring; he was very dissapointed from his social life. The man wasn't enjoying life as he wanted. His job occupied most of his time. When he finished from his job late at night, he had to get back home and get some sleep to restart the same day the day after. He lost most of his friends because of his job. He even didn't have time to see his family. He was tired of this lifestyle. Everything changed when he met this girl at the train station; he quit his job and stayed with her for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad he quit his job. He didn't seem to like it.
DeleteIn the middle of the avenue a young man with a pile of papers looks unhappy. At first sight we see that the papermen leads a normal life and apparently it's only routine .He is a man that satisfied with work that's all, and news are far from being a part of his life . You can even see that women are not his field this man has never been lucky with girls, and he is not used to be noticed by girls. Also he doesn’t dare talk to them or ask them for a date .Even when he met the woman in the train station he was very embarrassed and pleased at the same time, but for our young man nothing works as he wants he lost her; However, this time things changed when he saw the woman for the second time he made efforts to talk to her.
ReplyDeleteI think he was unhappy, too.
DeleteOption 1:
ReplyDeleteFirst, I would like to say that I enjoyed watching the video. It talked about a love story between two strangers that had met each other on the train station. Standing alone in the train station with his sleepy eyes; the man looked depressed. The man’s life; as it was evident; seemed so boring and melancholic. His facial expressions proved how miserable and despondent he was. I felt sorry for him; because he was so isolated. Moreover; seeing the way he stood; we can feel boredom and emptiness through his eyes too. We noticed the radical changes in his mood after meeting the woman. Well, I liked that papers leaded him to the right path to meet his lover. In fact; far from seeing it superficially; we may say that when you love someone the universe helps you into reaching to him/her.
Good use of semi-colons!
DeleteThe paper man had a very boring life before he met the women. It was all about his job; he had nothing else to think about than work. This lady changed his life; she gave him a reason to love life. Since he saw her, he couldn’t get her out of his mind. This a very cute story, it shows that love at first sight does exist. Also, it proves that if two people are meant to be together, then they will always find their way back to each other. Even if this man’s life was all around papers and work, he would never forget that one of this papers has changed his life completely. I guess from now on he won’t stand on a train station with this face of a depressed or sad person.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will have a nice life together!
DeleteThe man was living his life as usual. He works in a company, his boss gives him a lot of assignments. He was disappointed a little bit; but even that, and he have a simple and happy life. Until one day, while he was going to his work. He met a beautiful girl by coincidence on the bus station; as a result, he fall in love with her. Especially, when he saw her again in the building which is located in front of his desk. He didn't know that that moment will change his life. As we could see, he was thinking of her all the time, he didn't even take care of his boss. From this video, we can see how a coincidence may change one’s life.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. Each day we wake up, we never know if this is going to be the day that changes our lives.
DeleteThe video is about a cute love story. The couple met at a train station; however, they didn't talk nor did they get to know each other. The man had a lot of papers in his hands, and when a woman passed by him, one paper flew and stuck to the woman's face. The woman, as a result, left a kiss on the paper because it stuck to her face. Since that time, the man was thinking of her all day long even at work. Before meeting her, according to the video, he had no life. He was always working on many papers per day. His boss had an ugly and severe face that showed he was too serious and tough on his employees. Nevertheless, when the man finally saw the woman, he gave up on his work, and left his office. He ran to her; and with the help of the paper plans, he could meet her and talk to her. He seemed so happy and joyful after knowing her. His life, as a consequence, has gotten better.
ReplyDeleteGreat semi-colon use!
DeleteLife can be so sad, monotonous and boring when you live in a routine. Every morning you have to wake up to go to work even if you don't like your job. Life is without colors and you're always waiting for something or someone to add a little something to it. That's what was our hero's life like. When he met that woman on the train station; he knew that something has changed. Something unusual happened gave him a sparkle of hope. His life might become interesting. It's normal that he couldn't stop thinking of her. She was like his savior, his only escape. When he saw her again it was like an evidence; he was meant to meet her pretty face. So trying all his best to reach her was a brave move. I honestly don't believe in love; but sometimes, we meet some people who have the power to draw a smile on our face and make the sadness disappear. I believe that destiny has a way of fixing things that's why we should let it do its magic. You never know when, who, or what will change your life forever.
ReplyDeleteI think that living life with too much of a routine can make you age badly. Just a theory.
Delete"Paperman" was waiting for his train station on the dock, holding a stack of paper when a young beautiful lady caught his eyes. Suddenly, a wind came and blew a shit of paper that stuck on the face of the young lady; after getting back his paper he found that the mark of her lipstick were on it, and the lady was gone. His days became longer and longer, and he couldn't be separated with that paper. After many tries, he finally reached her; they met again at the train station as the first time. She was positively surprised, and couldn't be happier. She found a partner and she not lonely anymore.
ReplyDeleteHaha... a "shit of paper." Spelling matters, Nour!
DeleteThis video is about a young single man; however, he was living a normal life of any single man.he was sad and has a monotonous life. He has a job where he spends his all day. Waking up early in the morning, waiting the train in order to reach his job, then getting back home is how we can describe his personal life. His life seems to be boring. He was just doing the same daily thing each day. In addition to that he didn’t have anything to do in his days that might makes his life interesting apart from going to work, until he meets a young and beautiful lady. Since they both met in the train station, he didn't stop thinking about her. It seems like he started falling in love; also, she was stuck in his mind the whole day. He couldn't work, but he was trying to reach her. He became happier since the day he saw her; furthermore, his life started to be more excited and special in some way.
ReplyDeleteAdding love into your life always makes it more special.
DeletePaperman is an animated short film produced by Walt Disney. it talks about a young accountant that had a boring life; yet he was traveling on his routine commute through an elevated train platform in New York City, holding a folder. He goes to work every single day and take the train again to go home. he had nothing special in his life.The man wasn't enjoying his life as he wanted. He had a boring job, he was doing the same thing a plenty of times; then, he met a young beautiful woman who changed his life. As the credits roll, they are seen chatting happily with each other at a restaurant table with the lipstick marked paper between them.
ReplyDeleteGood.
DeleteThe man at the beginning of the video appeared to be unhappy. After seeing his face at the train station, it is clear that his life wasn’t so interesting. The paper man has a bossy boss who was giving him too much work to do; however, after all he managed to get outside and meet the girl. The paper man didn’t expect himself to meet the woman in that way; as a matter of fact his desperation was the reason why he met her after all. The man’s character before meeting the girl was showing too much loneliness. Even the way he was standing in the train station approved it. This short film was inspirational, although stuff like that never happens in real life.
ReplyDeleteNo, even cooler stuff happens in life. Reality is stranger than fiction!
DeleteThe young man's life seemed boring and mechanical. He took the train every day to work. He seemed sad and melancholic; however, while waiting for his train he met a pretty young woman that made him happy. His facial features have completely changed. He became joyful. He seemed to have forgotten for once his daily routine. Unfortunately, their paths were separated quickly, but the young man persisted to see her again. He tried several times to send her a paper but he failed. He was annoyed by the fact of never seeing her again, but fortunately he met her again in the train like the first time.
ReplyDelete"Mechanical" is a good word. No semicolons, though.
DeleteThe paper man had a normal boring life before meeting the girl. He used to go to work every day as usual; however, he felt like he was going to his work just because he has to and he has nothing to do but that. As soon as he met the girl in the train station, he felt like life could have a meaning if she was with him. So, when he went to his job and sat at the office with so much papers on the table; he wasn’t happy with his life. He took a look out of the window and he saw the girl he met on the train station. He made out of all the papers he had on his table paper planes to catch the girls attention, But it didn't work. Then he decided to go out of the office to follow the girl until he lost her track. But then, the papers he threw all out kind of guided him to the girl again and it took both of them to the station where they met at the first time.
ReplyDeleteI wish you would have described his life before he met the girl (like option 1 asks) a little more. I wanted something more creative, not just a description of the plot.
DeleteWe can notice from the video that the life that had the man was boring. He was obliged to take the train every day to go to work. He had no goals to achieve in his life; However , he was obliged to go to gain his life as a man. One day, he was holding a lot of paper in his hands waiting for the train. After a few moments, a beautiful woman came , and she attracted him. The winds started blowing , and it a paper got stuck in the mouth of the beautiful women and left a kiss on it. Since that day, the man could not stop thinking about her. Since he met the woman, he has set up that his goal was to meet that girl again.
ReplyDeleteI wanted more of a description about before he met her. We know what happens after he meets her.
DeletePaperman is a short film by Pixar. It is really funny. It is about a man that has a really boring life. Waking up everyday to do the same boring thing. He has a monotonous life. It is sure that he is not enjoying his life. We can see that he has an angry boss that forces him to do his job without fun. But after meeting that beautiful woman, we can remark that his life had changed from a boring lifestyle to an interesting one. He did all his possible to talk to her. He didn't succeed in trying to take her attention; however, he didn't lose hope. When he decided to gave up, something awkward happened, and he finally met the woman.
ReplyDeleteVery good, but no semicolon!
DeleteFirst of all, this short film of Walt Disney is so full of messages. It shows us that no matter what happens to you or to you soul-mate, your destiny will unite you one day. Also, it shows that life is a question of hope; without hope we can't live. The man's life was too boring as we can see in the first minutes of the short movie. He used to go to his desk work on his papers, and turn them to his boss. However, when he met the woman in the train station, his next work day was different. He used all his papers to get the attention of that women who was in the building in front. Then, destiny came and reunite them with the weird help of those papers that he used to send. I liked this short movie and I hope Disney would make more.
ReplyDeleteGood work. I hope Disney makes more short films like this, too.
DeleteBefore meeting the women, the man’s life was boring; he wasn’t happy. He was not satisfied with his social life. He looks sad and depressive. His life does not contain any excitement. Day after day, he repeat exactly the same things such as; working, eating, and sleeping. I think that at the moment when he meet the women, he knew that his life gave him a second chance. The women was like a sunshine in the dark. All of that explain why the man fought to see her again.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
Delete“The Paperman” is an animated short film produced by Walt Disney. It follows the story of a lonely man in New York, who by chance met a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Certain that the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he get a second chance he saw her in a skyscraper window behind the avenue from his office. With his heart, his imagination and a stack of papers, he tried to get her attention, but all in vain. He was furious, so he get out from his office. The papers that he had thrown from his window took him to the woman of his life and dreams. At the end, we can that they were both happy to see each other.
ReplyDeleteYour writing is good, but I wanted you to describe his life BEFORE he met her. You only spent one sentence on the topic. This is not a summary. It's creative writing.
DeleteIn this animated short film "Paper man" , we can see that the video is all about a random man , probably single , living a lonely boring life , living the same routine .
ReplyDeleteHe probably goes to work everyday by the train , where he once met a beautiful lady running to catch a paper that the wind blew away from her to the man it's self . However, the man went to his boring job as always and their accross the street recongnized the young lady , after several attempts of leading her attention to him he failed and lost hope . But destiny decided otherwise; he still got to see by some miracles I should say and ran into each other . The feelings were mutual , and got to know each other to live a beautiful loving life .
Good use of adjectives. However, you didn't use you semicolon. Pay attention to the prompt directions carefully.
DeleteThe Paperman was waiting the train as usual in the station when a beautiful girl came. The life of this Paperman was extremely boring before he met her. He was constantly repeating the same thing. Waking up in the morning, going to work; then, returning to home was making his life more boring. However, this beautiful girl changed his life. He was thinking about her all the day long. He was desperately trying to find her; but in vain. After many tries, they finally reunite.
ReplyDeleteGood. You've mastered semicolon usage!
DeleteThe wind
ReplyDeleteThe man called paper man seemed to be very sad at the beginning of the video. He looked like to be in infinite routine. He also seemed to be trapped into this routine. I also think that he was looking for his entire life for someone to get him out from this routine. That endless routine was broken by the women he met with in the train station. the paper man surely believed in love from the first sight before meeting with this women. His life was totally not the same after seeing her. I think also that after the incident in the train station he will also believe in faith his entire life, because this little wind that pushed him to meet with that women could not be just a coincidence.
Really good descriptions, but you forgot to use at least one semicolon! Remember to follow directions.
DeleteThe paper man had an extremely boring lifestyle before he met the lady. Everything was about his occupation. This woman changed his life; she motivated the paper man to feel the love inside him. Since the first meeting with her; he couldn't talk, but he falls in love. Actually, the real change in his life was when he saw her again in the building. Then his first goal was only to meet her; he forgot about everything, his job, his boss. I believe that if the destiny didn’t make them meet again; the paper man would the do all his efforts to meet the cute lady.
ReplyDeleteI wanted you to describe the man's life before he met her. This is just a summary analysis of what happens. Please read the directions carefully.
DeleteI really liked the video because there's an irony of life there. it shows how the destiny could relate two people and put happiness in there life. In the first minutes the guy's life was boring, and he works in factory where his boss is angry; he was receiving orders a lot . However, his situation changed totally after he meets the girl in station; he doesn't care anymore about the boring life and work he do and followed the one good thing he found.
ReplyDeleteI wanted you to use your creativity to describe the man's life. Instead, you just wrote a summary. Please follow directions carefully.
DeleteFirst of all, I really enjoyed watching this video. It talks about a Paperman who was so sad. His life was boring, and he had a lot of work to do every day. His boss was giving him a lot of work to do. One day, when he was waiting the train in the station, he met a pretty, and beautiful lady. The man had a lot of documents in his hands.
ReplyDeleteThere was a wind; coincidentally, the paper glued on the lips of the woman. Since then, the girl has not left his thoughts all day. He felt in love with her, especially when he discovered that this girl works in front of his building. When he saw her, he didn't even care about his boss and he lives his job to meet her .
Good, but you forgot to use a semicolon! Read the prompt directions carefully before responding.
DeleteThe man's life before meeting the woman at the train station didnt have much to it .A regular life with a boring repetition to it , nothing exiting or inspiring in it and no pleasure aswell .His life is passif and no traces of him would stay if he would have died ;what's more a colourless sad life accentuated by a bad job that he seems to hate .
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit short. I would have liked some more of your amazing descriptions, Houda!
DeleteMonotonous , boring , pointless , meaningless , many adjectives that perfectly describe that man's life. Constantly under the oppression of a boss , at a company where he feels alienated and where his talents only serves to increase the wealth of the owners of the company; the man did not enjoy any aspect of his job .
ReplyDeleteBeing used as modern slave , that proletarian suffers from the lack of sense of his life . Objectified by society and only existing to play the role of a machine ; productivity is his only purpose in life . That man is the main reason why Karl Marx told the workers to unite in the 18th century .
Your analysis of the man's life is great, but this blog is 5 days late!
DeleteThe Paper man was living a stupid life full of burden papers. till now he was doing a lot of things with papers but never one of them helps with a way or another in his life; However, one of this paper get to the month of a girl and her lipstick stick in this paper. He want to speak with her, but he couldn’t she was in a train going far from him. When he attend his job location, he saw the girl from his window. Now the papers began to help him by letting him doing paper plans and sending them to the other side. in the end the papers help them to meat together.
