Angelina's Love

By kelli Cristina Stocki. Essencial Languages. Pre-Intermediate. 23/09/2006

Interpretation of the text "Angelina Jolie's Secret Life" - by Sara Davidson, in English2go, n8 

Angelina has a good character, she finds the happiness helping people. Angelina has fame without strain, in order to return that she helps children. She's very calm and loving, that was conquered through Maddox. Angelina loves to travel around the world helping people and this way discovering new cultures. The children changed her life in overnight, they make our life better.   

I believe Angelina felt solitary, needy or she would like to share her joy and her life for adopting a child. I think Angelina likes to be useful. Angelina can help because she has money, she has money because she has fame... but how does she have fame? Because she is beautiful, she doesn't get this with effort. This way I can say Angelina with a son  can feel useful and this is a form to show her fame another way... so she can show the other side her abilities.

I in her place wouldn't do that. I wouldn't adopt a son, because is very responsible and I believe would have time for take care. In the point of help children, so I help because I wouldn't spend everything and always is good help... and is very good when have money. I would also feel responsible in  helping other lives, because I wouldn't good receiving the fame free, receiving very money and doesn't do nothing, I would feel bad, useless..

 

"But if I only get one great love in my life my children- I'll take them."

This parte is very interesting, because Angelina has money, big houses, she can stay in home, doing nothing. She can travel around the world, stay in five-star hotels, she has a princess life. But Angelina proffer's her children, the children are her great love, isn't money, houses. Nothing is more important than mother's love!
