K. Simmons, and Leah played by Olivia Thirlby. Page, above all, takes center stage with her pretty face, her ponytail and hoodie, and her wise cracks, which is quite typical of an intelligent, perceptive high school girl. Cera in Paulie's part brilliantly personifies a track star that is very smart in some ways but knows little or nothing about love, making his character very believable. Juno's parents are equally credible as supporting parents clearly related to Juno's wit, humor and sarcasm.
The dialogue is ideally matched to the situation thanks to the screenplay devised by Diablo Cody. The yuppie couple who wants to adopt Juno's baby are very contrasting characters in this light, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner impersonating a laid-back writer of jingles for television and his wife, Vanessa, a successful, intense corporate type - yet both characters fit exceedingly well in this film. When Juno encounters Jennifer Garner as the future adopter of her baby, the viewer perceives how perfect a choice Garner was for this role. Mac, Juno's dad, is good with the one-liners and her step-mother Bren is sharp-tongued, and both are interpreted by authentic actors. Whereas pro-life activists interpreted Juno's reluctance to go through with the abortion as a marker of personhood, supporters of pro-choice insisted that the movie is decisively choice-oriented. However, as critic a.O. Scott pointed out in his 2007 New York Times review of Juno, its real message is "pro-adulthood" and it may be absurd to suggest that it is a pro-anything else film. Juno had a choice to make and she made it apart from any ideology or political viewpoint.
It would be interesting to note that both sides of the American social debate regarding the legalization of

In conclusion, it can be asserted that Juno had a carefully appropriated soundtrack, was a well-produced film which cast a multitude of finely tuned actors that successfully managed to convey an original plot, a great script, and wholesome characters by means of wonderfully constructed dialogue and acting techniques. And perhaps most importantly, Juno tackles the controversial contemporary problem of underage pregnancy, which many high school students have been confronted with, and works creatively with that problem, infusing humor and irony accordingly.

photo was taken on one of the happiest days of my childhood, the first day of summer after third grade. I remember waking up with the sunrise that day. My brother and I jumped out of bed when the alarm went off. It was the first day of summer, and we were delighted to see that the sun was shining brightly. Birds chirped madly outside our second floor bedroom

Life What we can learn about domestic violence from Maggie's situation is that it can occur at any moment, even when one least suspects it. However, by placing ourselves in situations where things are unstable between members of a home, it creates a situation that is more infused with tension and makes those members vulnerable to an outburst. In Maggie's situation, for example, she is a single mother and still
