Have you ever experienced an event that changed your life? In John Avildsen’s
‘The Power of One’, a moment that changes the main character PK’s life is when his
beloved pet chicken ‘Mother Courage’ was strung up and killed by his schoolmates.
The character of PK is developed by this incident because PK loses not only his chicken
, but his symbol of courage and friendship. He also develops the ability to not hold the
actions of one person against a whole race of people and to stand up to people who are bigger than him.    

When Pk’s chicken ‘Mother Courage’ is killed, PK loses his symbol of courage, his only remaining
family and his only friend at school. In this scene, Borta the school bully tries to blame the English
for the killing of Africanas families in concentration camps in South Africa. He claims that Hitler will
punish the English for their actions, and that he will punish the English too, starting with PK by killing
his chicken. He has the chicken strung up on a rope by its legs and kills it by firing a stone at its chest
using a slingshot. The chicken, ‘Mother Courage’ was given to PK by the witch doctor as a guide to help
him find his courage and overcome his bed wetting. Therefore, when the chicken is killed, PK’s symbol
of courage is killed with it and PK will now have to be courageous on his own. PK had also lost his father
and mother, so the chicken was the only family he had left when he went back to boarding school. In this
way we see the character of PK change as he learns to live without family and friends, and find his own
source of courage. This links to later in the film when his boxing coach Geel Piet is killed by a guard and
PK once again loses his friends and family.

{L}- In this way we see the character of PK change as he learns to live without family and friends, and find his own source of courage.
This links to later in the film when his boxing coach Geel Piet is killed by a guard and PK once again loses his friends and family.

Another way the character of PK is developed as a result of the death of his chicken is that he is able
to forgive and not hold grudges against a whole race of people for the actions of a few. At this point in the
film, we see that the Africana boys hold a grudge against all English because of the actions of some in
the past. When they killed his chicken, PK could follow their example and hate all Africanas because of
Borta and his friends, but he chooses to embrace people of different cultures and only blame the person
for their actions not the race. The director includes this scene to let the audience know that PK as an English
man will face difficulties from the Africanas throughout his life. This links to later in the film when PK wants to date
Maria, but her father will not allow it because PK is English and Maria is an Africana. PK chooses to date her anyway,
\ because he looks beyond a person's race.   

Conclusion- MIRROR- reflect the points of your essay.

The event that changed PK’s life was when his chicken ‘Mother Courage’ was killed by Borta and the Africana boys
at his school. As a result of this incident PK had to learn to find his courage from within, to make new family and friends,
to treat all peoples with respect regardless of their race, and to stand up for the things he believes in. In this way, we can
see the importance of this scene in the overall film.

The film aspect that was used was a long shot to makes us feel that PK is still small and will still grow throughout the movie. For example, here we see PK hugging and mourning for his friends death. This is to make the audience feel sad and feel the pain that PK was enduring. Peet’s death.The purpose of this is show us that PK is still small and weak and that he has yet to grow. This makes the audience feel sad about Giel Peet’s death and and that his death will be one of  the key to PK’s strength as he grows throughout the movie.This can link with PK having the will to fight even though he lost someone important to him.

I believe that students are addicted to their cell phone. This is because games were invented. This is an example, games were made to attract the attention of the player, and this makes the player addicted to the game, and it influences the friends of the player, making more people addicted. This proves that kids are addicted and makes others addicted.
