A Bad Chemistry Class Review

A Bad Chemistry Class ReviewI have a bad habit of writing chemistry classes as if they were the movie 'Crazy Stupid Love.' The first act is about a chemistry student named Ashley and her bumbling boyfriend (played by Will Forte) who is a crazy genius. He's been applying the methods of ancient Chinese people to make baseball bats into complicated mechanical contraptions and I'm going to tell you now that the internet cannot be trusted. We are probably in the future of chemistry and science, not the past.You see, Ashley tries to create a chemical reaction with a chemical solution and sees her friend Bryon set off a chemical reaction and creates a substance that will mutate and kill the people she loves. Ashley has never actually seen a chemical before and so she does some research. It is explained to her that a chemical is a piece of matter and it can either combine or break down into another substance. Ashley becomes very concerned about what she sees and doesn't know what to do. She decides to enroll in a course of chemistry as if her life depended on it and there she meets chemistry professor Jonathan Cross, played by Alec Baldwin.I love chemistry professor because he helps Ashley with her new understanding of chemistry in a fun and easy way. In 'Crazy Stupid Love' the relationship between the two was more like that between a brother and sister, but here, chemistry professor does the same thing that his sister did when she learned about physics at the beginning of the movie. You see chemistry professor is funny and friendly and I hope you too have a chemistry teacher like this one.In a chemistry class, you really need the chemistry professor to help you with the science so you learn to appreciate it and think about it. In fact, the chemistry professor in the movie was great because he made the teacher a one-man learning tool and that was important in teaching chemistry to children.Chemistry is the study of substances that change into another substance when mix ed. We learned all about it in chemistry class at school, but in a chemistry class, we also learned to love chemistry and science. Let me be clear here, I am not saying that chemistry is bad or any type of pursuit that will kill your personality, just like I didn't say that playing golf will kill your personality or that chess will kill your personality.That being said, the American movie industry wants us to think that chemistry is boring and dull, but chemistry is so much more than that. There is great beauty in chemistry as well as science and it is for everyone from all walks of life and it makes us think about why we do the things we do, the possibilities of our own lives and how they can be changed.You may find out later in your life that chemistry made you go to bed late at night and brought your parents together. Maybe it was the class you took at your high school chemistry that gave you the confidence to get a job in your field and finally meet the woman of your dreams. But whatever it was, in a field of ideas, chemistry is the link to all the other areas of knowledge that we discover.
