October Sky was a great educational movie based on a group of kids persevering to achieve their dream. It was based on a true story placed in west Virgina. The boys needed a scholarship to college and the winner of the science fair earns a free ride to college. They gradually learn more about rockets and the way they work leading to be the first place contestant of the fair. Though it was truly touching and inspiring movie it contained many examples of science, math, and character ed. First, the whole idea of making the rocket fly up high and come back down properly. The obstacle of the was Isaac Newton's invention - gravity clearly being apart of science and math. There were many other science related situations in the movie such as Homer finding the right ingredients to create a chemical reaction for the rocket. Homer also displayed character in many different ways. For example, he showed patience by cooperating with all the struggles he faced. also he showed perseverance by working hard and never giving up no matter how challenging it looked. Overall, Homer was a very talented young boy and October Sky was a fascinating film.
