Little Miss Sunshine by mrsboliancu https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9 Themes en-us 2017-08-01 00:27:17 UTC 2025-10-24 16:19:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Olive is different from the other beauty pageant girls in that she doesn't adhere to the typical beauty pageant contestant. mrsboliancu https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/179807845 2017-08-01 00:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/179807845 jamayahoornweg1 https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/180104319 2017-08-04 04:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/180104319 Stacey staceyrcashion https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/180104456 2017-08-04 04:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/180104456 Amber equineamz185 https://padlet.com/mrsboliancu/eyjaloip7aj9/wish/180104468 'Sarcasm is just the sour grapes of losers trying to pull winners down to their level.' - Richard

'A real loser is someone that is so afraid of not winning that they don't even try'. - Grandpa Edwin.

'There are two types of people in this world, winners and losers'. - Richard.

Olive 'lost' the pageant - she was disqualified because of risqué dance routine. However she succeeded in the way she brought her family closer together.

'Its not about luck, Frank. Luck is the name losers give to their own failings. Its about wanting to win. Willing yourself to win. You got to want it badder than anybody else.

Richard often brought up his theory about winners and losers as well as his nine step program to become a winner.

Olive is strong and ignores her dad and eats the ice cream after being told that ice cream becomes fat on your body.

Grandpa Edwin is living his life philosophy by taking drugs and such because he is going to die anyway. Therefore the way he is living his limited time is a win in his eyes.

-
Dwayne shows immense discipline.
-Olive truly believes that she can win the pageant.
-Olive doesn't let the pageant standards  stop her from performing and doing what she enjoys.
-Dwayne doesn't let him being colour-blind stop his motivations for being a fighter pilot.

Sherryl is at a loss of innocence every time she tries to keep Olive from hearing the negative comments the other family members make because she always end up giving up and lets her hear

dwayne loses innocence when he has a breakdown and realises the harsh reality of life (that not all dreams can come true)

Richard later becomes a winner once he realises that his relationship with his family is of more value then the success of his nine step program.
