Do you think these pairs are real antonyms? I'm helping my godchild with his homework, and I found some pairs of words that I don't think they are really antonyms. The first is the only one I could accept (after some discussion) as antonyms. About the others, no way! I understand that we casually use them as oposites, but I think they are not strictly antonyms. These are the words: Day - Night Black - White Cry - Laugh Blond - (here comes a word I don't think it exist in English, which means "dark-haired": "Morocho")

The island of Nobodies That island was inhabited by Nobodies. Nobody listened the sound of the seas wandering around. Nobody smelled the pine needles stacking on the ground. Nobody was conscious of all that beauty. And nobody was alone. There was plenty of Nobodies. They were in every corner of the island. Every time a bird sang, Nobody was there to listen. Every snowflake that melted under the sunlight, Nobody was there to see it. Every time a caterpillar became a butterfly, a dozen of Nobodies was there to contemplate it. When everything was quiet, Nobody could actually hear the sun setting beyond the sea. Everything was dyed in the kind of orange that gets inside you and warms you up. Nobodies felt full of peace. One day, Nobody realized he was Somebody... (To be continued) I will thank any corrections or comments!

"film" and "movie" are interchangeable? Are they synonyms? Are they used in different contexts?

About this lovely line of the movie "Charlie and the chocolate factory" which is not in the book I'm reading Charlie and the chocolate factory, and I was waiting to reach a dialog that I love, but it resulted to be an adition of the movie. I'm going to try to narrate the whole set of events that led to that scene (that is from the beginning of the story haha). In Charlie's city there was the most amazing chocolate factory. And Charlie loved chocolate, but his family could barely afford one chocolate bar a year, which was given to Charlie on his birthday. The factory produced all kind of almost-magic candies, invented by its mad genius owner, Willy Wonka. And no one knew how the chocolate was made, or what the factory looked like inside, because no one had entered the factory in several years. But one day, Willy Wonka decided to allow five children to visit his factory. The ones who would be able to know the amazing place were the ones that found the golden tickets that Willy Wonka had put underneath the wrapping paper of five random chocolate bars. Four tickets were find in the first after being released. One day before the deadline, Charlie was walking back home from school, and he was starving. Suddenly, he saw a glow in the snow, bent down and found a fifty pence coin. He picked it up and decided to buy a chocolate bar in a close store, and give the rest of the money to his mother. He bought the chocolate, ate it and was about to leave the store when he decided to buy another bar of chocolate. And then the miracle happened: when he unwrapped the candy he found the fifth golden ticket. At firts he froze, and people around him became hysterical. Everybody wanted to see the golden ticket, and some people offered him money in exchange for it. When the salesman got over the astonishment, helped Charlie to get out the store and encouraged him to go straight home. Charlie started to run and, when he arrived, he told his mother, very excited, that he had found the last golden ticket. All his family was very surprised and happy, and started to think about who should accompany Charlie to the factory. But suddenly, Charlie got serious and told his family something like: "Wait. I'm not going. They offered me two hundred pounds for the ticket, and I'm sure they would pay even more." And then they convinced him to go the factory anyway. That final part, when Charlie is about to give that big chance up to help his family, is only in the film, not in the book, and I think it's lovely. I only have space to thank for reading/correcting, andapologizingforthelength:)
