Empire of the Sun{Grade this essay}

The movie Empire of the Sun was a movie about how the Japanese invaded China and took over. In this movie features a little boy named Jamie. Jamie is British young man who lives in wealth with his mom and dad. Being that he and his family is rich he kind of is a brat who thinks hes better and above everyone else.

Jamie is different from other kids his age. Kids his age are usually interested in toys, TV, and more toys. But not Jamie he is more interested in planes than anything else. He knows any and all planes from the smallest to the biggest. But other than planes there something else Jamie likes to do as a hobby. Boss other people around and get his way. Typical for a young boy who has rich parents. But one day that changed as they Japanese came and invaded their city and in the commotion he got separated from his mother and father leaving him to take care of himself.

Since the lost of his mother and father Jamie matured in age and as a person. Being that he had to take care of himself with little help from other people. He got a look at life from the perspective of a person in struggle and not from a person who got anything they want when they want. He turned into a boy who did for himself by hustling, grinding for what they needed instead of just getting it handed to them. The war turned this little boy brat into a man.

In conclusion Jamie in the beginning was a boy who couldn't do without his mommy and daddy but turned into a man who can. He actually forgot even what his mother looked like by the end of the war. He just remembered that she had dark black colored hair. When he goes back to his regular life he wouldn't be going back as the same little immature boy but he'll be going back as a mature young man.
