The film, “the Power of One,” followed the life of a boy named P.K. from a small child to a handsome young man. It showed all the hardship and tragedy he had to endure throughout his life. Although the movie could have focused more on the apartheid, it instead portrayed the vulgarity of those times through the eyes of an English boy.

I’m reviewing the movie Signs from 2002 by M.Night Shyamalan. This is a Science fiction movie because involves aliens, but it doesn't show them very much.

On the farm he is alone because he lost his family on a car accident. The loss of his wife was hard, but he had to be strong for his son and daughter. The guy that killed his wife was a person he knew.

The “clear sign” was the evidence that Mohammed was sent as a messenger from God to the creation. It says in the text, when God sent Mohammed, they split into groups. Some of them believed in Mohammed as a messenger from God, and the other did not and told lies about him. This is was in section six.
John complies these signs to show the supernatural power which is one of John's themes. He also complied the "Book of Signs" to prove to the people that he truly was the Messiah because no one could do these miraculous signs without him being sent from Heaven.

The meaning of this sign is that, "Jesus is the Resurrection and if anyone believes in Jesus they will never die and shall come back to life" (John 11:25). He is not saying that you will come back to life on Earth necessarily but he is saying John you will live for eternity

He remembers when he went to speak with his wife for the last time and to hear her final words. She said to tell Morgan to play, Bo to listen to Morgan, Merrill to swing away, and for Graham to see. Colleen was pinned against a tree and should’ve been dead, but she waited for him to tell him these things. So when Graham looks around the room and at the alien holding his son, he then see’s Merrill’s bat and tells him to,” Swing away”. This ties into Merrill saying in the past that it felt wrong not to swing, he’s been preparing for this his
