    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    The film that made me laugh hard was Fearhead of Peri because it was full of comedy. The actors, Akshay Kumar and Baburao, they were so funny. I first time watched that with my family when I was 10 and I really enjoyed that film. I still play that movie when I'm bored, when I have nothing to do, I still re-watch that movie and it still makes me laugh. And it still makes me laugh when I really enjoy that movie. It has so much blockbusters, so much comedy, so much of funny scenes.

    Well, I am a binge-watching a person. I have watched a lot of movies and shows. If I remember a comedy movie, a couple of months ago I got a chance to visit PVR with my family to spend quality time with them. We watched a Punjabi movie which is Mitra Chalaya Trakni as it is called in our narrative language. We love to watch Punjabi movies as they are comedy and very humorous. The movie was directed by S.S. Rajamouli. This movie described the friendship between two people and their love story around the British colonial period. I bought chips and cold drink during my movie show but due to comedy and humorous my chips were spilled out in the PVR. On that day I was very tired so I hit the hay in the night and sleep in tonight at the weekend. The overall experience of the movie was very amazing.

    The movie which makes me laugh is a spiritual which is written in Hindi. It is a combination of comedy and scary because it is a movie about horror comedy. There is a character, a fighter who is falling in love with a dying man. Both have a romantic story in the movie. The villain name is also comedy, Sarfira which means he didn't have a head and he is mad about it. I recently watched it with my family. However, I also watched it with my friends. Additionally, it is not a movie for small children. Small children get scared about it. It is an amazing movie. If you want to laugh, you have to watch it once in your life. It is really really funny.
