The visit is an American horror film produced and directed by Manoj Shyamalan. This film is about two children named Becca and Tyler who go to visit their grandparents for the first time ever. Paula, the mother of the children, has had problems with her parents in the past, so she decides not accompany her children. That's why then Beca decides to make a documentary during their visit with their gradparents to reconnect their mother with them. During the process of the documentary, Tyley and Becca discover that there grandparents are not only acting weird but are also hiding a dark secret, and for this reason, Tyler decided to secretly filming what happens on the ground floor at night. When they saw the strange events, they contacted with his mother by Skype. Paula saw that John and Doris weren't her parents. Rebeca found on the basement the corpses of the real John and Doris. Also she found uniforms of the impostors from the mental hospital. Finally the grandparents are killed by children.
The best part of the movie is the end because it's when you finally discover the secret of the grandparnts and you understand everything.

Horror elements of the movie:
  • Death

My intelligence

According to the "Multiple Intellligences" test, my strong points are the music, kinaesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal. I agree with this, because I sing in a chorus, I easily remember the lyrics of songs and I love listening to music (especially pop songs) when I'm sad, angry or stressed. I'm body Smart because I like work out and practice some sports like volleyball. I agree with the results of intrapersonal intelligence because I know my weaknesses and I know very well myself. I agree with interpersonal results too, because I'm a very sociable person so I like to make new friends.


I agree that I am normal at linguistic because I like lenguages. And also I'm normal at naturalistic because I like to study things related to nature and animals.

Finally, acording to the test my weak points are logical which I totally agree because I hate maths and visual/spatical intelligence, which I don't agree because I like drawing and I'm very observant.


This is the grafic of my results:

Animal in me

The test "Animal in you" has said the animal in me is the Sea Lion. The  scientific name is Otaria byronia. The test consist in answer some questions and in the end it gives to you the animal that you supposed to be. Acording to the test I am medium sizethat's true because I'm neither very large nor very small; I'm enthusiastic and I agree because when I do something, I do it with joy and enthusiasm.  Also, the test says that I'm flirtatious, I disagree with this adjective because I'm not the type of person that shows feeling  for someone that is usually not meant to be taken seriously. Charming is another adjective that define me very well, and finally the test said that I'm plucky and obstinate. I agree with plucky because I think I'm courageous and I disagree with obstinate adjective.

 Acording to the test, the careers that I would have to study are:
  • Performing arts
  • Air traffic controller
  • Paramedic
  • Lifeguard

I want to be kindergarten teacher so I disagree with all the careers that the test said because I don't wanna study medicine so Paramedic and Lifeguard don't interest me. I don't think I am gonna study to become an air traffic controller. I also disagree with performing arts.

And it also guessed that my hobbies would be:
  • Diving
  • Fishing
  • Volleyball

So in this case I agree to all te answers  least one, fishing, because I think it's very boring. Anyways, I love playing volleyball and someday I want to dive.
