The characters that were chosen to play each role fit perfectly. I loved how the director and producers decided to show Akeelah talking to her dad because it allowed the viewer to see how much he meant to her and that he is the reason she spells. This movie was empowering and consisted of a powerful message that encourages you to be who you are and not let other people stop you from doing what you are meant to do. Akeelah had to overcome so many challenges with people judging her and problems with her mom, but everyone was able to come together and help her. I loved that they showed all the people in the community she worked with helping her spell the final word.
I approve of Grace Ann because even though she’s Fran’s little sister, she helps out Fran more than she notices and she’s there ready to defend Fran whenever she needs it. I also approve of Mike Riordan for the reason that Fran decided to tell him the truth about her even though she didn’t know him very well at that time and he was very understanding and caring about the whole situation. Then further into the book, Fran and him know that they are attracted to each other, but Fran kept on pushing him away and he just waited for her to be ready, so he was really patient and it paid off because Fran and him get married and have a daughter. The characters I most disliked are Bobby Benedetto and Patty Bancroft, who helped Fran and Robert leave.
