1. The strength of the film "small voices" is how miss melinda convince the parents to let their children join the contest. The students really want to join but their parents won't allow them because they must help in the fields.

2. Miss Melinda. I am like her because whenever I have problems I don't give up easily and I will solve it.

3. Never give up in whatever you do.

1.1 streght about the film is showing determination and willingness to show that a right thing is realy right. Melinda showed her streght by talking patiently to the parents of the students. The children also showed thier streghts by fighting for what they want(to participate in the contest) and they got what they wanted because of that.

2. I can relate my self to obet because he loves his father but he is not showing it, just like me. Also in a way that he wants to finish schooling becuase he wants to fulfill his dreams in life.

3.I learned to fight for what i believe that's right. I also learned that i should show my love to my parents while they are still with me.

One of the strength and weakness in the film was the lack of support of the students from their parents . Their parents encourage them to work and help them during harvest season rather going to school . They are telling their siblings that only rich pepole can dream .
I can closely relate myself with Ms . Melinda Santiago because I fight for what i believe in , and what is right . I do not give up easily without trying and exerting efforts to fulfill or achieve my goals .
I learned from the story that we should never lose hope,believe in yourself and always give your best to achieve your goals in life .

1. The film is to concentrated on one place and one thing.The graphics and setting is not as exciting as today.Although it is old it is still educational and worthy do be one of the good and well known films in the country today for its theme.
I can closely relate to myself is Obet sometimes. I am sometimes stubborn,disobedient and disrespectful otmy parents but I still love and have great respect for my parents especially my father.Eiter than my negative things about me like Obet I am also kind hearted,friendly,funny and Industiues towards my goals in life.
I have learned that having difficulties in life like being just a child,being poor or having other kinds of life difficulties,there is always hope in overcoming these things.I have seen this in the movie, where there problems were obstacles to there goals but they all overcame it.Hope is always one of the things that resolve problems and gives guidance in life and this is what Miss Melinda gave to the students of Malawig elementary school.

1.The movie ''small voices'' inspired me by the students their willingness to study hard and to reach their dreams,And i realize that we are lucky studying in a good school,The ugly part is when their parents refused to join their children in the contest.
2.The character that i can compare myself is Ms.Santiago because she has full of courage and she inspires her pupils to study hard.
3.I learned that we need to follow our dreams and never give up in doing good things and to help share our knowledge to others.

1.One strenght I found in the film "Small Voices" is that the students are still going to school even if their parents discourage them. The students never let go of thier dreams even if their parents told them that only rich people can dream. One weakness I found in the film is that the parents are negative thinkers, they believe that there is no chance for their children to succeed.
2.Just like Popoy, I want to go with my father all the time. I'm also friendly like him. I also know how to play flute like him.
3. I have learned that I should not stop dreaming and beilieving. I will not give up when trials come my way. And if I trust myself, I know I can make it.

1.The strength of the film "Small Voices" is that Ms. Melinda Santiago is encouraging the parents of the students to join the singing contest, and how Ms. Melinda Santiago made a difference in the lives of her students. The weakness of this film is that how the teachers are abusing the students, like making them clean their house. Another weakness is that how the parents of the students refuse to the proposal of Ms. Melinda Santiago so that their children will help in their farm or baby sit their younger siblings.
2. I can relate myself to Ms. Melinda Santiago. Because like her I don't know where I really belong or I'm still searching who or what I want to be. Also Ms. Melinda Santiago and me are alike because I also am a positive person.
3. I learned that each and every person should be heard. Or even you are poor, rich, young and old, you have the right to dream. That maybe from these small voices we can make a difference in the world.

1. The strong point is when Melinda joined a contest that she thinks its good experience for the children and she gave up persuading the parents. The weak point is when the parent were all unreasonable to her.
2. Ms. Santiago because I will not give up chasing my dreams and I get serious when needed.
3. The rich aren't the only ones who can dream, everyone can dream but the parents of the students are destroying it.

For me, the strength of the movie is that t is very inspiring and maybe some people will get inspired by it.And the weakness for me is that it is already old,and only a few people will want to watch it now.


I can relate my pesonality to Popoy,because he is very helpful,and i am also helpful sometimes.

The moral i have learned is that you always have the right to choose,and that you should never give up anything.

1.) The strength of the movie when Ms. Melinda Santiago wrote a letter about the contest addressed to the parents of the kids about the contest and convince them to allow their kids to join in the contest and the weakness of the film when they would'nt allow their kids to join the contest instead of helping the farm, they're wasting such time for unnecessary thing like that (according to the parents).
2.) I closely resemble to the characteristic of Ms. Melinda Santiago because she has the "guts" to write a letter for the contest to convince the parents to allow their kids to participate. Me, as well, related to her characteristic because i have the "guts" to talk to other people if it is really necesary.
3.) I learned that each person has the right to dream because "it's free to dream..."

1. The strength of the main character was she doesn't give up easily. Melinda sacrificed her self to teach the students how to play the music. They also tried there best to win the contest but they truly won.

2. Ms. Melinda because I don't give up easily like on basketball games. She never gave up. She is also a friendly teacher.

3. I learned that all people can always dream even though they are poor. I also learned how to be patient.

1. The strength of the movie is that it is very touching and inspiring. Actually, there's no big weakness in the movie, just that it's old. Generally it's a good movie. They should make another movie with the same theme so some people would realize how fortunate they are.

2. I could relate to the parents of the children. I can relate to them because I sometimes stick to the small things and not strive to accomplish something greater. For example, I don't work hard to be an honor student even though the people around me say that I can do it.

3. I learned that I should be happy that I'm in ateneo. Many children want to go to school but have no money. We should also be thankful that we have good shelter and that we are able to eat proper food. The people in the farms dont have these things.

The weakness maybe in the film ang muntig tinig is that they could not work out if they would not coopertae to one another. their strength maybe is their fun doing it and believing in theirselves. they won in the competition because they have done their best.

Maybe popoy would be the best character for me. Popoy is good to her brother which i am to my sister. he is goodd to his parents so am i to my parents. and i can be a good friend like him.

the moral that i have learned from the story is that when we just cooperate, we can win. we just nid to practice well for it. we also have to believe in ourselves that we could win it!!.. just listen to the teachers and always cooperate

2. i can relate myself to popoy because i love my father. i am also adventorous like him. i also like to make friends.
3. i have learned that when you dream, it will come true if you believe. i learned that there is nothing wrong in dreaming. i learned that when you strive hard, you will succeed.

1.The strength in the film is Ms. Santiago's perserverence and endurance to find a way for the parents to change their mind about the singing contest. The weakness in the film was the parents' reaction about the singing contest leading it to a problem.

2.Obet, because sometimes I hate my father because of what he's doing. I also think that sometimes Obet and me have similar problems. Me and Obet's life is almost the same because we lost some family members that we love.

3.The moral that I have learned is that anyone can dream no matter how old or how young you are. Another thing that I learned is that chilren need high education to complete their dream and accomplish it. I also learned that you should perservere and endure the challenges in your life to fix them.

Alessandra/Ms.Melinda was very patient to her students, she listens to the students and the students listen to her because she is so kind and very freindly.I can relate my self to the teacher because sometimes no one listens to me even though i have listened to them.the lesson in this story is never give up right away and dont loose hope and self confidence

1.The strength in the film is the caring of ms.Santiago for the children bacause she cared for the children even when the parents of the children are not suppoting ms.Santiago.

2.The character that I can relate with is popoy because he is good and nice,even when I am not nice.I also like music like popoy.and he is always happy and smiling.

3.The lesson in the story is that you can dream even when you are not rich or even when somebody does not agree with your dream.And the other lesson in the story is that you should study and work hard to achieve your dream.

1.)the strength of this movie is the concern of ms. melinda to give hope to her students. Ms. Melinda was worried for the better future of her students, so she decided to join singing contest and to regain her students new hope. the weakness of this movie was its predictable ending.

3.)i learned that i have to believe in myself and to be confident. i always follow what i must do so that my dreams will come true (it rhymes).

1. The strength of the film titled "Small Voices" is how the story touches lives and hearts of the audience or the one who watched on it. Because it simply teaches us how to follow our dreams even if we are only simple people. Like for instance, Miss Melinda Santiago pursue to join in the contest because she wants to show or expose the talents of her students. And let them know that even simple people have the right to dream.
2. Among the characters of the story, I can closely relate my personality to Miss Melinda Santiago because like her I also want to let simple people know that they have the right to dream. The perseverance of Miss Santiago relates my personality, because like her I also try my best and never give up until I achieve what I want to have.
3. The moral that I've learn from the story was how to fight for what is right. Because by that, people can practice how to deal daily life to the other people. And as well as your own idea will not be used by other people of their other and own purposes.

1.Their is actually no weakness in the film. The film was actually inspiring. I cannot say that there is any weakness in the film.

2.I think I can be more related to Popoy because Popoy really loves his family even though his father is always away.

3.Never quit in your dreams always fullfil what you want.

1. the strength and the weakness in the film was when Ms. Melinda wants the students to join the contest. The students also want to join, but the parents of the students does not allow them to join because, for them it is just a waist of time, and their children should help them in the farm. And also when the mother of Ms. Melinda doesn't allow her to teach, but she want Ms. Melinda to follow her and go to New York.

2. I can closely relate my personality to Ms. Melinda, because whenever i do something but some people are not approved of what am i doing, i did not lose hope easilly, i will just pray to God and ask for help. Then i will continue to please the people around me until they will be pleased.

3. i have learned that, we should not lose hopr easilly, we should continue of what we are doing if we think that it is right. and we can't face all of our problems if we will not pray to God and ask for help.

1. The strength of the film is how Melinda handle the problem even without any friend who will help her and support her.The weakness of the film is the part were Popoy died because somehow the group lost their eagerness to join the competion.
2. Gela, because Gela is very eager in graduating but because of the respect towards her mother she put aside her dreams.
3.Refusing in listening to the small ones will make the problem bigger. Like in the movie we must listen and understand them so that the problem will be solved earlier.

1)The strength of the film,"small voices" is when the parents of the students let them join the contest. The weakness of the story is when Popoy died.Ms. Melinda and her students were very sad. This is the time when they are not sure if they will continue to join the contest.

2)I can closely relate myself to Ms. Melinda because I can see some of my personlity to her.Like her, I dont know what to do in my life. She is not giving up in chasing her dreams and her goals.

3) I learn that we should not stop from dreaming because everybody has the right to dream.I believe that we can reach our dreams if we just believe in our skills. I also learn that education is the key to success.

1.)The streath of the movie "small voices" is when the parents of the children agree to join the contest.The weakness of them was when Popoy died and Obet does not want to join because of Popoy death.And also the student was sad because popoy died and they think that they will loose.

2.)For me I am closely related my personality to Ms.Melinda.Because for me I also want to help other children.And also for me I want also to follow my dreams like Melinda teaching the students in Malawig.

3.)My moral lesson that I have learned in the story was to be strong.And to follow my dreams like Melinda did because her dream was to teach.And also because I do not agree to the parent taht because we are a girl we are only to have children but I know that even we are poor or rich we are humans that will have a dream/s till we die.

1.)The strenght of this film is that it can able to teach a lesson to other people. And it has determination and courage. The weakness of this film is when the parents did not allow their children to join the contest in the first place.

2.)For me I can relate Popoy to my personality beacause he is somtimes curious and I am curious. Popoy also is willing to graduate. And concentrates on his studies.

3.)I have learned that I should also help other people. And to never give up with my dreams. And to finish my goals.
