Yesterday, we began watching the Disney movie Elemental, in which two fireballs, Bernie and Cinder, move from Fireland to Element City, a place where fire, water, earth, and wind live together, but they are separated into their own parts of town. Bernie and Cinder open their own shop, the Fireplace, and Cinder gives birth to a baby girl, Ember. Ember grows up and several years later as he is getting older, Bernie plans to give the shop over to Ember. But, she has a really bad temper, and she often explodes when she gets so angry at customers. To prove that she is ready to take over her father's business, she must run the "Red Dot Sale" correctly. However, she explodes again and causes a leak which brings in the Water Man who says the business was built illegally and he reports this to City Hall. Ember explains that it was her father's dream, and the Water Man begins to feel sorry for what he did and wish she had explained this to him, but it is too late now. Now, she must try to find a way to save her father's business.
Questions:
1. Did anyone in your family move from one place to another? What was that experience like?
2. Have you ever been involved with your family's business? What is it like working for the family?
3. Do you have a bad temper? What makes you explode with rage like Ember in the movie?
