I am SAM... 2-27-2012

Today in AP Psychology class we watched a touching movie called "I am Sam" and it was so touching. It was hard to see his daughter being taken away from him, the connection that they had seemed impossible to break. Sam suffered from border line mental retardation, which meant that he had the mind compacity of a seven year old. It started off with him getting a homeless woman pregnant, and she left him with the baby, where he was then forced to take care of the baby, although sometime's he would forget to feed her every two hours, he was never hesitant to ask his neighbor for help. Other than that he was an amazing father who only waned the best for his daughter named Lucy (played by Dakota Fanning). He went to court becuase the judge thought that he wasn't capale to take care of his daughter and he tried to fight for her, but he got overwhlemed and he lost the case. He was forced to see his highly intelligent  seven year old daughter go to her new family. So far we have not finished the movie but i can't wait to see what's the outcome.
