"A Story for Momma"

A Story for Momma was about a young boy who lost his mother to cancer and he narrates how it affected him. He explains how he used to stay in trouble and be completely rebellious against everyone. His actions didn't begin affecting him until he learned of his mother's cancer. At first he talks about how it didn't affect him, until the reality of her physical illness began to hit him. He made a change for the good, but then soon went back to old habits which forced him to leave home and not be able to see his mother. Finally after four months he made a point to see his mother, but then it was too late to change for good. In remembrance of his mother he changed his F's to A's.
The images of this piece were pretty creative, and the song in the background worked the best at the end with the picture of his mother.However, some of the same images were repeated, that could be eliminated in order to get the point across quicker. It would have worked better if it was only instrumental until the ending. This story is a great narrative to show to young students in high school because it was very relatable. To view this clip click on the link below.
