 A bubbly, broody love triangle in which death is the third party, Me Before You a movie portrayed by the Game of Thrones Emilia Clarke that portrays twenty-six-year-old Louisa "Lou" a lady who is a caregiver of a quadriplegic, portrayed by The Hunger Games star Sam Claflin who plays as Will Traynor.
A movie that tells a story of a lady who is poor and provincial, but she has the world at her feet and a man who is rich and experienced, but has no feeling in his legs. A story of Louisa "Lou" Clark who came from struggling-middle-class family but still has positive vibes into her life. A girl who dresses a very bright color clothing and wears her emotion so broadly in her face that she might be a human emoji. Alas, this bubbly creature who a bit down in the dumps - the bakery where she works has been forced to lay her off, and Lou is growing convinced that her potential is as dim as her job. Desperate for work. Lou interviews to be a caregiver for Will Traynor who is a quadriplegic hunk who lives with his family in the massive castle at the center town and she hired on the spot.

Day after day Will learn again how to smile and laugh with the help of Lou and later on they inevitably fall in love and begin to see life a new through the joy they see to each other.

Jojo Moye
Directed with the rare intimacy by theather Thea Sharrock ( she oversaw the recent revival of "Equus." fronted by Daniel Radcliffe ), "Me Before You" bends some of it's genre's most tiresome tropes into a love story that hits with a blunt impact of broken heart. A genre of a melodrama fit for multiplexes but it hits nerve because Jojo Moye's story never betrays its characters or what they want from the world. That said popularity of Jojo Moye's bestselling source novel and Hollywood's bizarre reluctance to make a sort big-hearted romantic dramas that would seem to be it's most realible date-night draws, burnishing the rising careers of it's star Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin.
Clarke & Claflin
The both actors effortlesstly deliver the emotiom needed im the movie adaptation. They are really appealing actors, yet neither of their performance really click. Clarke with her huge expressive face, but too often here she simply cycles back and forth between agressive dorkiness. While Claflin's character is likewise limited, with his attitude toward Lou shifting on a dime from condescending distaste to affection.
"Me Before You" is a movie, worth watching. It will give you the chills of pain and happiness. Lesson in life that you must live to the fullest and life goes on.

         Teaching is not easy as a profession and you will realized it when you do a Demo Teaching for the first time , from the preparation and to the ongoing activities during discussion or after. It might easy at first but the true is, it is really hard. Because the preparation for unique Instructional materials is not easy. Even in how you will master what you need to teach to your student. Of course, also writing a lesson plan is really difficult most especially if you don’t have any idea on how you will construct it, at the first place. So lesson learned you must ask or study on your own  the things that the teachers can’t provide.        Furthermore, according to my own experience in my demo teaching both in Principles of Teaching 2 and Edtc22, motivation is really important. I realized that it is true that it sets not just the mood but also the attention of the students to learn, if they accept or withdraw the learnings th...
