Mary Poppins

All the parents in Mary Poppins want is a nanny that could contain their two children. They decided that they made a flyer and so did their children. The father thought he threw out the children’s flyer, but Mary Poppins came to their house with the kid’s flyer the Dad was confused because he thought that he threw it out the night before. He interviewed Ms. Poppins he was a little skeptical but he still hired her. The movie fits into the romance mode of literature and is written by P.L. Travers. The movie was about a nanny who taught the kids how to behave while having fun.

In the beginning when Mary Poppins becomes their nanny she taught them the cleanup game. Whenever they snapped their fingers the toys went where they would go if they were cleaned up. Then she took them out on an outing (a trip to the park) on the way there they saw Burt the painter. With a little magic they used magic to get into one of the paintings. When they got out of the painting it started to rain so Mary Poppins hurried them home. After dinner Mary Poppins sang the kids to sleep. That night after Ms. Poppins put them to bed Mr. Banks the children’s father had a talk with Ms. Poppins. After the talk they decided that the children would go with their father to work (at the bank)

The next day the kids went to the bank with their father. On the way there Michael (the son) had some tuppens that Michael wanted to spend on bread to feed the birds, but his dad wouldn’t let him. When they got to the bank the people that ran the bank tried to convince Michael to invest his tuppens in the bank by creating a savings account. Michael refused and said I want to feed the birds. The people in the bank grabbed Michael’s money out of his hands. After that Michael yelled give me back my money. After that everyone tried to take out there money because they thought that the bank wasn’t letting people have their money. The bank officials quickly closed the bank. In all the commotion Michael and Jane (the daughter) slipped out the door and ran home.

When they got there Mrs. Banks (the Mom of Jane and Michael) was just on her way out to a women’s rights protest. With Mrs. Banks gone and Mary Poppins on her day off her was nobody to watch the children so they asked Bert the chimney sweep. As they were setting up stuff to clean the chimney Mary Poppins walked in the door. When she walked in the door the kids got sucked up the chimney. Then Bert and Mary Poppins got sucked up. On the roof the other sweeps and Bert started dancing. When they were done they got sucked down the chimney and as soon as they got to the bottom there father walked in the door. Their father told them to clean up and go to bed.

By the end of the movie Mary Poppins gets the Family to become a closer family. The parents got what they wanted (a good nanny) by the end of the movie Ms. Poppins turned the Banks wild kids into well mannered children.
