16 WISHES
In my
opinion, the most significant aspect of the material is…
16 Wishes is
a Disney Channel movie that teaches us many lessons. Abigail Jensen is a
prudence girl who always made wishes when she was young. She sets a goal that
during her 16th birthday; she will get everything that she wants from the list
that she had made for all these years. Jay Keppler is her best friend. Jay had
always been there when Abby needs him and secretly, he loves Abby. Krista is someone
that lives next door and had always competes with Abby. She has what Abby can’t
has, in fact she gets sweet birthday present better than Abby (their birthdays
fall on the same day). Abby hates Krista, besides they always quarrel whenever
they met. Suddenly, a fairy godmother comes and helps Abby to get her wishes
from the wish list that Abby made. She just had to blow the candle that had
number on it and her wish would come true. Abby becomes so greedy and busy that
she does not realize what actually Jay wants. Suddenly, Abby made a wish that
changed her whole life forever. She had wished that everyone will not treat her
like a kid anymore. She walked out and everybody did treat her like an adult.
The worst is, she is no longer a kid. She is 22 and she missed her graduation.
She goes to Krista 16th birthday party and Krista attends her
nicely, like they had never quarrel before. Everything becomes different. That’s
when she learnt that she never feels gratitude of what she had when she was a
kid. Now, she had an apartment, a car but no friends. Her parents also don’t
care about her because they thought she can take care of herself. She cried and
she wants her childhood back. At last, she changed her wish list and becomes a
kid again. She starts to appreciate things around her. Not only that, she
decides to make up with Krista. She asked Krista why she hated her so much.
Krista told Abby that on their 7th birthday, Abby had moved in to
the town. Krista and Abby had a party together. During photograph session with
Abby, Jay and Krista, Abby had dragged Jay away from Krista, making the only
persons that visible in the picture are Abby and Jay. Jay had made a promise
that he gonna be Abby’s best friend forever when he is already Krista’s best
friend. Since that day, Abby and Jay played together, leaving Krista behind. Abby
felt sorry about that and apologized to Krista. She and Krista had become best
friend. During their birthday party together, Abby had realized how Jay loves
her so much. So, she said no more wish list because she had everything that she
wanted all this time.
So, the most significant aspect
in this movie is feeling gratitude of what we had. We never know what we had
till it’s gone.
