The writer’s purpose was to help people achieve their goals, they help them by giving tips and lessons, it is vital when doing something like this run. Brendan Leonard clearly made this film to encourage people to try something whether there is a possibility that you will fail or not, because it's best to at least try. I think that it is beneficial to young kids who give up easily.
That with the right mentality i can achieve most things, also i need to let the people around me help me to get better, an example of that is the first lessons they said “It helps to have a friend”. It makes me feel like I can do anything when I put effort into it, I also feel like it encourages me to try different things.
This has affected me in a positive way because i know nothing comes easy and you need to put a lot of effort into things. During the movie I felt like he was talking to me personally, it also made me feel like I was with them on their journey.
Jayson made the greatest impression on me because even though of his disabilities, he has dyslexia, that doesn’t stop him from achieving his goals.
I also admire his desire to finish the race even though he had some injuries and his attitude towards the race.
I have not but i hope i do because it’s good to see young kids acknowledge the little things in life. Like the comments they received when reaching certain points in the race.
