This summary describes the 2000 film Pay It Forward. The film is about a boy named Trevor who is given a school assignment by his teacher Mr. Simonet to think of a way to change the world. Trevor takes this seriously and decides to help others in need by having them "pay it forward" by helping three more people instead of paying back favors. His acts of kindness set off a chain reaction in the community as each person helped passes on the favor. However, Trevor is tragically killed after being stabbed while trying to help another person.

8. MY END COMMENT. In my opinion, thisdramateached me thatall in thelifeispossible, speciallyourdreams. When I watchedthemovie, and sawthelastscene, I couldunderstandthatthere are goodpeople in thisworldyet, and notallislost. Also, I´dliketotellthatthismoviedidn’tmake me cry. Eventhoughtit’s a sadend, I expressthatconmovized me a little. xD To finish, I think not everybody can defend other persons, specially, die to save somebody you love too much.
