60 Second Broadcast Script:

A few months ago, I went to the movies to see “I can do Bad all by myself”. After reviewing this movie I have come to realization that the world we live in is to short to be stubborn and selfish. We all have lives of our own, that at times can bring stress and struggle; that doesn’t mean that you have to be mad at the world. April was undergoing many issues in her life that categorized her as someone who is selfish, stubborn and inconsiderate. She wanted everything to go her way, and she never wanted to be there for others. She had too many expectations but could never meet them personally. After her mother died, she had to begin a new life for herself as well as eventually uphold the title of being a parent. Even though she hated the fact that she had to do this, she had to put all grudges, and hate aside to assure she could uphold the challenge of change. After dealing with so many things, faith, courage, and strength helped April to become a better person for herself and her new aspiring family. Don’t take life for granted, because you never know what can happen to you, or the outcome your life has stored for you.

Magazine-Style piece:

In life you come across all types of different people. Some people are nice, some people are mean and some are just stubborn. Tyler Perry movie “I can do Bad all by myself” depicted a story of a woman named April. She was stubborn and selfish not only to herself, but to others that was in her life. She was very unhappy with her life and the things that were happening to her. She was an alcoholic and used alcohol to succumb hurt and pain.



She made a living from living off of her boyfriend Raymond, and singing at a local bar in her community, which contributed to her alcoholism. After her father passed away, she was left with a house that belongs to him. She lived her own life and didn’t want to be bothered much at all. Her older sister passed away from doing drugs, leaving their mother to raise her children, all three of them.



One night, April’s niece and nephews were caught looting in Madea’s home. She took them to April’s house, since the children’s grandmother had not been around in a few days. When they arrived around 2:00 p.m. April was sleeping and angry that they had woken her up. She didn’t even want them to come in her house. “They aint my kids, where yall granny at”, she said. She was very hesitant, but eventually let the kids in. She was rude to them, and didn’t care about the youngest illness and repeatedly smoked around him knowing that he couldn’t be around second hand smoke “This is my house,”. She opened her home with kindness to the children until they could get in contact with her mother. She also let a Mexican immigrant, looking for work stay in her house when the church pastor asked if she could do so.



After she allowed this he began to challenge her to open her heart, especially when she found out that her mother had died on the bus on her way to work previous weeks ago. When more negative things started happening to April, she began to reevaluate her perspectives on life. Since her mother passed away the children’s only option was going to be separated and put into foster homes, if April didn’t let them stay with her. She told them “I can’t take care of you guys; the foster homes will send you to nice families”. Leaving these children to be homeless and helpless, it was nothing they could do to change her mind. Until she found out that her boyfriend, Raymond, was trying to rape her 16-year-old niece. This caused there relationship to end, and brought a sense of hope and faith back into the lives of the young ones.



April eventually realized that if she let the kids go to foster homes her life wouldn’t get any better. She allowed them stay, and she built better relationships with them as well as with the immigrant living in her house. They got married. Faith, courage and strength were the roots of this movie because without it, you won’t be able to survive in this world.
