On Movies‘Jungle Book’

By Alex NelsonStaff Writer

"It's a jungle out there." "The Jungle Book" stars Bill

Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba,Lupita Nyong'o, ScarlettJohansson, Giancarlo Esposito,Christopher Walken and NeelSethi. Jon Favreau directs thismovie based on the stories byRudyard Kipling. It is rated PG forscary scenes and violence.

In the vast jungles of India, ayoung man-cub named Mowgli(Sethi) has been raised by a wolfpack, which includes his mother,Raksha (Nyong'o), and the packleader Akela (Esposito). Living inthe jungle is all that Mowgliknows, but he is now threatenedby the merciless tiger, Shere Khan

(Elba), who swears to kill the man-cub and all who defend him.

Fearing for the safety of hisfamily, Mowgli decides to leavethe pack. The wise pantherBagheera (Kingsley) knows verywell that the only place Mowgliwould be safe would be the manvillage. However, Shere Khan willstop at nothing until he hasMowgli within his grasp. AsMowgli continues his journey ofescaping Shere Khan, he will gainfriends such as the laid- back bear,Baloo (Murray), and he will alsocross paths with other dangerousanimals, such as the king of themonkeys, Louie (Walken), and thedeadly snake, Kaa (Johansson).

I remember watching the origi-nal 1967 version of "The JungleBook" when I was little and then,years later, I read the original sto-ries by Rudyard Kipling.Therefore, I was very excited and

nervous to see this movie, exciteddue to the fact that "The JungleBook" is my favorite story andnervous because I didn't knowwhat to expect.

In the end, I was veryimpressed at what I saw. The spe-cial effects and the style that wereused to make the animals weredone very, like how they madeRocket Raccoon from "Guardiansof the Galaxy" look real. Thedetails on the animals were veryinteresting to look at. The sceneryof jungle was also done very welland looked very realistic.

This cast was very well-chosen,as each actor performed his or herrole beautifully. I also admit that Iwas impressed with newcomerNeel Sethi, who gave a great per-formance as pretty much the mainhuman cast member within thegroup.

One thing I found impressive

about this movie was that it com-bined parts from the old 1967 car-toon and the original Kipling sto-ries and made it work well. I did-n't find a dull moment within themovie, and it kept me payingattention and interested through-out the whole film. It was also funto see the little mythology cameosthat were shown in the movie.One interesting detail I noticed inthe movie is how many of thecharacters were upgraded in asense. Bagheera is shown to be afriend of Mowgli and a fierce pro-tector. Baloo is similar to his ani-mated counterpart, but he can be apowerful ally when he needs tobe. Shere Kahn, King Louie andKaa are no longer funny, bum-bling, hammy villains, but aredeadly creatures that can pose anactual threat. Finally the Wolvesare shown to be an important partof Mowgli's life where, in the car-

toon, they were forgotten reallyeasily.

I should note, since the movieis rated PG, that there are a fewdark moments in the film thatmight scare younger children.Children can still see this movie,but parents or guardians shouldbe aware that this "Jungle Book" isa little more serious compared tothe original animated movie.Overall, while the movie can bescary for younger children, thescenery, special effects, the storyand more importantly, the castand their portrayals, make thismovie worth watching.

I personally give "The JungleBook" 5 out of 5 Beavers.

I wish you all luck in these finalfew weeks, including finals, and Ihope many of you enjoy a goodsummer break.

Book ReviewMitch Albom’s ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’

was not until a TV show coveredMorrie’s story that Albom decidedto visit his old friend and professor.They meet on Tuesdays, and thetopics are wide in range: family,emotion, marriage, love, money,forgiveness and death. MitchAlbom, now a middle-aged man,becomes the student again to try todigest all these lessons.

I’ve been wondering why“Tuesdays with Morrie” still is

being talked about by many people.The memoir was released in 1997,yet people talk about the importantvalues the book contains eventoday: love, happiness and accept-ance. Many stories with similarthemes receive backlash that theyare all too tear-jerking. However,“Tuesdays with Morrie” sticks outamong them as it is not afraid to tellthe story as it is - floods of emotion.And not just sorrow and emptiness

come from discussions withAlbom’s dying professor.

The most profound emotionappearing in the story is love.Albom replays the memory withMorrie, like he is reopening an oldphoto book in order to tell this veryhonest feeling towards the man.They were stored in the farthest cor-ner in his heart, pushed away longago, but never were forgotten. Totell us how delightful Morrie was,

Albom simply chooses a particularevent with the man.

“Sometimes we eat together inthe cafeteria. Morrie talks instead ofchewing, laughs with his mouthopen, delivers a passionate thoughtthrough a mouthful of egg salad,the little yellow pieces spewingfrom his teeth. The whole time Iknow him, I have two overwhelm-ing desires: to hug him and to give

By Yun Ji NamStaff Writer

Albom goes back and forth, tothe past, then he quickly comes backto reality beside Morrie’s sick bed.Albom, once a young man in thestory, bustling with life that doesnot quite resemble the kind heexpected in college, was unawarefor a long time that his favoriteteacher began to suffer from ALS. It See Albom — Page 5

him a napkin.”There lies an honesty in Albom’s

story which other stories lack. Thebeautiful part about real memories isthat they are truthful. Especially if amemory is precipitated by love, it canbe recalled effortlessly.

The fun part about “Tuesdays WithMorrie,” is that every page of Albom’smemories with Morrie are romanti-cized, yet at the same time, they arenot melodramatic. Albom’s memoir isdifferent, because his intention is notto stir up our emotions with forcedfiller material. “Tuesdays with Morrie"does not have unnecessary plot points.Albom simply wishes the reader to bepresent when he recalls his meaningfulmemories of the man. Here, tears in“Tuesdays With Morrie” are not fillers,but become natural outcomes.

I hope those who fear failurewould be able to draw inspirationfrom Albom and Morrie, who over-come their fears at the end, beautifully,in the classic memoir, “Tuesdays WithMorrie.”

Miles for Smiles walk set for SaturdayBy Erica Clark

Comm 281The Minot State University annu-

al Miles for Smiles walk will beginSaturday at Oak Park Shelter #9 at10:30 a.m. The cost is $25 per walker,and registration begins at 10 a.m.MSU’s National Student SpeechLanguage Hearing Association issponsoring the walk.

“This is the first year that NSSL-HA is also doing a silent auction forthe fundraiser; the communityhelped out a lot this year,” DanaeBurke said.

Miles for Smiles is a communityfundraising event for the OperationSmiles charity, a non-profit organiza-tion that helps with cleft lip and cleftpalate surgeries.

Cleft palate is a birth conditionthat can happen alone or as part of agenetic condition or syndrome.Symptoms come from the opening inthe mouth and also include difficul-ties speaking and feeding. Surgeryrestores normal function.

Clefting appears when thereis not enough tissue in the mouthor lip area, and the tissue that isavailable does not come togetherproperly.

Operation Smile, a group ofmedical professionals, providesafe and effective reconstructivesurgery for children in lowincome families in differentcountries. It also provides all thecare and medical therapies need-ed after the surgery. A singlesurgery can cost $240.

“I am so excited,” Burke said.“Last year we had about 100walkers, and had a lot of dona-

tions. We made $3,015 dollars,which equates to 12.6 surgeries,and I hope to surpass last year’soutcome. This year we did moreadvertising, as far as getting theword out and promoting theevent to the community. We did agreat job last year, and hopefullythis year we have a biggerturnout,” she said.

Registration forms are on theMSU Communications Disorderswebpage. Put them in the NSSL-HA mailbox on campus or regis-ter at the event.

Employment: The next step after graduationBy Metro Creative ServiceGraduation is an exciting

time in the lives of students.After years in the classroompreparing for life after school,graduation marks a time whenstudents are finally ready toenter the "real world" and landtheir first professional job.

The U.S. Bureau of LaborStatistics advises that earning acollege degree can greatlyimprove a person's chance oflanding a job. The more educa-tion a person receives, the lowerhis or her prospects of beingunemployed become. The BLSsaid that, as of 2014, individualswith a bachelor's degree couldearn on average $1,101 perweek, compared to $668 for per-sons with high school diplomas.Those with bachelor's degreeshad a 3.5 percent unemploy-ment rate compared to 6 per-cent for those with only highschool diplomas.

The National Center forEducation Statistics estimatesthat roughly two million stu-dents earn bachelor's degreeseach year. Many others will goon to earn master's or doctor-ates before entering the work-force.

As the economy continues toimprove, job prospects followsuit. According to a job outlook

from the National Associationof Colleges and Employers,employers had plans to hire 8.3percent more new college grad-uates in 2015 than in 2014. The

growth of businesses and therising rate of retiring BabyBoomers has spurred employ-ment prospects.

Landing a job post-gradua-tion requires diligence on thepart of new grads, and the fol-lowing are a handful of ways tomake those pursuits more suc-cessful.

Hit the ground running. It'stempting for recent grads totake the summer off and have alax approach to job huntingafter all of the hard work theyput into their education. Butrecent grads can get a head starton their competition by begin-ning their searches immediate-

Stress and its effects on studentsBrenna Coffey

Senior Nursing StudentUniversity life and responsibil-

ities can be a very stressful lifetransition for many students nomatter what age one is. It’s a timewhere new high school graduatesmove away from the home andfamily they have lived with for17+ years. University schedulesconsist of substantial class com-mitments, which can be stressful,along with living away from fam-ily and being in a new environ-ment.

Being stressed can cause thebody to be in distress, (extremeanxiety, sorrow or pain) and expe-rience underlying issues that arenot seen by the naked eye. Whatcan be done to help decrease allthis stress university studentsexperience?

First, to know ways to decreasestress, one needs to understandwhat stress does to the body.Being stressed can impact yourthoughts, feelings and behavior.Common stress symptoms manypeople in general experienceinclude headaches, muscle tensionor pain, chest pain, sleepingissues, upset stomach and fatigue.These symptoms are all commonto the majority of people whenexperiencing stress. However,when these symptoms all happenat the same time and are constant,steps need to be taken before theyincrease and lead to health prob-lems that can put one’s health injeopardy. Stress can affect yourbehavior as well, which can be assimple as just not being yourself,experiencing increased anxiety,lack of motivation to learn orstudy, which can lead to poorgrades and, potentially, behaviorchanges such as anger.

People tend to hide or controlstress by overeating or under-eat-ing, angry outbursts, alcohol ordrug use (to help mask the stress),and social withdrawal. But dothese actions work? For the timebeing perhaps, but the long termstress that is affecting your body isstill there. Also, one will experi-ence negative consequences of

these unhealthy, risky behaviors.If one doesn’t deal with the stressthey are feeling in a positive man-ner, the stress will never disap-pear and the effect it has on thebody will continue to increase.Without dealing with the stressthey are feeling in a positive man-ner, the stress will never disap-pear and the effect it has on thebody will continue to increase.

An activity that has beenproven to decrease stress in ahealthy and positive way is exer-cising. When one exercises iteffects every part of your body.One obvious area that exercisebenefits is the body’s muscles,“which use glucose andAdenosine triphosphate (ATP) forcontraction and movement. Tocreate more ATP, your body needsextra oxygen, so breathingincreases and your heart startspumping more blood to yourmuscles” (Mercola, 2013).

Lungs are affected due to theincreased demand in oxygenwhile you exercise, increasing themuscles around the lungs. As youexercise your heart rate increases,which supplies more oxygenatedblood to your working muscles.

The brain, which every collegestudent needs to be at peak per-formance, benefits because, “theincreased blood flow also benefitsyour brain, allowing it to almostimmediately function better. As aresult, you tend to feel morefocused after a workout.Furthermore, exercising regularlywill promote the growth of newbrain cells” (Mercola, 2013). Lastbut not least, Medline Plus (2014)states, by adulthood, peak bonemass has been acquired, but as weage that bone mass begins todecline, which can result inosteoarthritis. Exercising mayslow down the degeneration ofbone mass. Exercising will alsoincrease all of these body func-tions and can also decrease stressbecause, as stated, after workingout you feel more focused and areable to get work, homework orwhatever it may be, started ordone.

A study was done to determineif a 12-month exercise interven-tion decreases stress symptoms inworking adults. In the study byKettunen (2015), for 212 womenand 126 men, after 12 months ofexercising, stress symptomsdecreased by 26 percent, mentalresources increased by eight per-cent and cardiorespiratoryincreased by seven percent.

“Physical exercise interventionhas deceased stress symptomsand improved mental resources.”

Minot State University has aWellness Center on Campus thatis accessible to the students, thatprovides classes such as yoga,body pump, Zumba, core circuitand many others to help relievethe stress that students experi-ence.

One doesn’t have to work outlike a training athlete for hours onend. By working out for 30-60minutes a day you can tremen-dously help your body and yourmind and, most of all, your stress!Exercising one’s body will helpyou feel better overall; your mindwill be ready to take on those dif-ficult university courses, you willbe more awake during the dayand, most of all, will be able to livea happy and healthy lifestyle totake on any challenge that comesyour way.Reference:

... Graduationcontinued from page 6ly after earning their degrees.Create a list of a few targetcompanies you have your eyeon, and then tap into yournetwork to find a contact ateach company and reach outto that contact directly.

Focus on a career path.Prospective employers preferthat applicants have somecertainty regarding the typesof jobs they are looking for.Take a career assessment testor work with a career coun-selor to narrow down thefields and positions thatspeak to you. Avoid the "I'mwilling to do or learn any-thing" approach to job appli-cations. Employers may seethat as desperation.

Don't rely entirely on theInternet. Oftentimes, landinga good job requires reachingout to people in person. In aMonsterCollege survey, 78percent of job-seekers saidnetworking was a factor intheir job searches. Standingout from the crowd mayinvolve physically standingout. Attend conferences orspeeches from people whowork at the companies you'reinvestigating. Don't be afraidto shake some hands andintroduce yourself to others.

Think about what you canoffer to prospective employ-

ers. Narrow down your specificskills and customize yourresume or cover letters to thespecific talents you can offereach potential employer. Useexamples that illustrate theseskills from past school courses,volunteerism or part-time jobs.Your "quirks," like being themost punctual person in yourgroup of friends, may turn outto be the skill an employeradmires the most. Considerdeveloping a career portfoliothat highlights your pastachievements.

Do your homework beforean interview or networkingopportunity. Always be pre-pared before an interview orwhen meeting with someoneyou are soliciting for job help.Research the company andknow its background so youhave an idea of how the compa-ny runs. Keep a list of questionsat the ready. A knowledge ofthe company can help youstand out from other applicants.

The next step for many aftergraduation is to find a job thatfits with graduates' career goals.
