Like Stars on Earth:: Summary

          This story's main character is Ishaan, an eight years old Indian boy going through a change in his childhood. Ishaan wasn't doing well in school, his teacher thought he was naughty, lazy and unreasonable; so did his parents. Ishaan's elder brother was the smartest student in their school, he was also a great tennis player; he was the typical good son most parents wanted. This made Ishaan's parents misunderstood more about Ishaan's attitude being naughty, and felt more disappointed to him comparing to his older brother. Ishaan likes imagining and drawing, but as his parents pressures him and negates his ideas, he lost his confidence eventually. His parents, especially his dad was mad and decided to send him to a boarding school. After Ishaan went to the boarding school, he felt even more sad because of the separation between his family. Untill one day a new art teacher called Aamir Khan started teaching in his school.  He was a open minded and positive young teacher that had found the problem in Ishaan. He was shy and closing himself from the world because of all these people denying his idea in the past. Therefore, Aamir encouraged him and created ways to let Ishaan prove his talented ability on arts. After Aamir's complements and explanation, Ishaan had gradually built his confidence day by day. Aamir also realized that Ishaan has Dyslexia, this problem made Ishaan how he've been acting back in school—he couldn't read properly like normal people could. 

      This story is warm and also showed how society these days caused parents' blindness and careless on their children's real problem and potentions. It also told me as an audience that it is important to find what you're good at, being unique isn't a problem. This movie had came up to my mind to relate it to Me and You. Aamir helped changed Ishaan's life and his attitude towards his own life. Both relationship from Olivia and Lorenzo to Aamir and Ishaan was about turning someone that was tired of living, disappointed and felt misunderstood into a person that believes in one's own potential, bright future.
