Juno

This is a movie clip of my all time favorite movie, Juno!  One thing that would go into the script is that when Juno walks into the store, she gulps down the last of the Sunny D and throws it into a trash can.  When she walks inside, the man at the counter is fixing something, it is not clear what it is.  When Juno is in the bathroom later, when the camera gets a close up on her face, it is foreshadowing that something life-changing will happen to her (and it did).  The writer in the beginning could have mentioned that there were lots of items in the store- it was a drug store.  I love the dialouge between Juno and the man at the counter; it just shows what kind of a teenager Juno was and it helped her develop as a character throughout the whole movie.  Since Juno was the only main character here, the viewer got a good idea of who she was.

The Tree

The big, tall, proud tree
Sways all its leaves back and forth
It is the tree's dance.

Oh, the apple tree
Providing a juicy treat
On a summer day.

I've never climbed trees
It's something I never learned
When I was little.
