JUNO



A wonderful movie where teenage pregnancy is dealt with in a creative, different manner.

Juno is a sixteen year old high school student faced with an unexpected pregnancy. The father is another teenager who she doesn't consider to be her boyfriend. She wants it to go away like a bad dream, but she realizes she needs to take control of the situation and she undergoes a series of difficult situations in a very easy-going way. She asks for advice, she thinks of having abortion and she even thinks of giving her baby in adption. Will it be easy to find the perfect couple?...

1. What was her mother and father´s reaction?
They don't take it on a bad way, her dad wants to know abouth the father and both laugh about it.

2. What was her friend's reaction?
She doesn't belive her, but after she wants to hel Juno.

3. What did Juno say she was going to do with the baby? Do you like her idea?
She's going to give the baby to other family. I like the idea, because that family might have problems to have a baby and she can't give him a good life, so I think it's a good idea.

4. What would you do if...?
- You were Juno?
I'd probably do the same that she does, give the baby in adoption.

- You were Juno's best friend? I'd try to help her anyway, and if my friend wants to saty with the baby, I'd work as her nanny.

- You were Juno's parents? I don't know, because i'm not mum, but I'd help her.

- You were the father of the baby? It's difficult, I'd help her, because it's a mistake we both made, so it's not only HER problem.

- You were the couple to whom Juno promised to give the baby away?I'd give her everything she needs as long as she's taking the baby, and I'd probably let her be near her son/daughter
