Madisons story

At first the camera showed very shaking and it distracted me from the story. They had some good third persons view but during action scenes they could not keep the camera straight. The camera was moving a lot.


I think that she is amazing that she can have 1 arm but it doesnt effect her in any type of way. I like that she is very athletic and also keeps a positive attitude about everything. I also like how she barely even notices it and doesnt let it bring her spirit down. This story should be an inspiration to anyone with a disability to show they dont have to give up because of defects.
