I like the novel because it tells the reader that there will be a way to settle any problem and move on . So do for the couple who had breakup . Kira do has the breakup formula and willing to help Joey to move on and obliterate his memory with his ex-girlfriend , Fiona. She tried her best so that Joey will continue his day as usual - not being a taciturn one. But at the same time, no one knew that Kira also help herself on her breakup . By advising others, we will automatically advise ourselves . Be good to others, and the good will come to you . Just live your life happily because every problems have their own medicine . Feel free to help other people in their problem because maybe there will be one time that we need someone desperately to settle our own problem.</div>

One lesson I learned from this movie is alliances are important even if they are temporary . Katniss is always well-aware of the fact that there will be only one victor of the Hunger Games . However, she keeps forming alliances with fellow competitor Rue . So in life, we are going to face variety of situations that may be better navigated with others. As usual, people come and go in life, that's just a cycle of life . The people you meet maybe can simply serve a purpose for the time they are there . Do take people for what they are worth and what they can offer in any particular situations.</div>

I’m not going to watch this material again when I’m alone because I have a high
imagination I think ,so when I watch this movie I will imagine everything about
the ghost and this makes me more scared to do everything in my real life . But,
the movie is very best and exciting . I swear . Do watch this movie and if
you’re the type of person like me , watch it with your friends or family
members so that you’re not too scared. The plot of this movie is very
complicated . I don’t know how to explain how complicated Josh was when he
tried his best to get into his body again to safe his family members and live
with them happily . Do watch this , seriously you’re not going to be upset . Believe me ! haha</span></div>
