In 2000 Perry introduced Madea, the trash-talking, marijuana-smoking, gun-toting grandmother in his play I Can Do Bad All By Myself . In 2001 Tyler featured in The Diary Of A Mad Black Women , also in Madea's Family Reunion in 2002 and also more. Madea addresses serious issues, such as domestic abuse, drug addiction, and ultimately offers christianity as an antidote to such problems. In 2005 Tyler Perry production company, Tyler perry company, teamed up with Lionsgate film studio for Perry’s first feature film, Diary Of A Mad Black Women, which debuted at a number one nationwide. Two of his movies in 2006 became number one. In 2006 Perry ventured into publishing his book Don’t Make A Black Women Take Off Her Earrings; Madea's Uninhibited Commentaries on Love And Life, was a bestseller and won two Quill Awards, for best Humor and Book of the year. In 2000 Perry embarked on a national with a new tour stage play, Madea’s Big Happy Family.
Perry’s First Million Perry’s first lead role that he didn’t produce or direct or write- and his reviews so far have been rather good. Certainly a lot better from a start of the crossdressing Madea movies. Bill Block put together Alex Cross at a cost of only $25M (lowered to $23M with louisiana tax subsidies). Tyler chased down the book rights from patterson for under $1 million, Then hired Marc Moss and Kerry Williamson to pen the screenplay with Patterson. Then Block and patterson sought out Tyler’s WME agent Charles King. After meetings in Atlanta, QED signed the actor $5M upfront. Tyler took over the roll of Morgan Freeman who first played Alex cross in the films Kiss The Girl’s and Along Came A Spider.

PERSONIFICATION Tyler Perry had a rough life growing up He barely wanted to live with the hard life he had as a young child Fear talked to him He would run to the park to get away from things Faith came to him He saw the invisible, believes the unbelief and receive the impossible His father would hurt him as a child
4
He tried to hide from his father but it was no use He couldn't take the abuse Molested at the age of 11 by his mom friend Hurt and broken from the fact his “fa There isn’t really his father His mother died from illness Broken even more because she lied to him about his father
Tyler Perry’s mother’s name is Willie Maxine Perry, she was 64 years old when she died, Tyler Perry announced the news on his website.Tyler said in the past that he based his most creation -a sassy, guntoting endearing this old lady named Madea on his mother. Willie had been sick, she was a preschool teacher who had worked at the New Orleans Jewish Community Center and was a huge influence on Tyler’s up bringing career. Tyler Perry’s “father’s” name is Emmitt Perry,Sr, he isn't really Tyler’s real father. His mother lied and told him he was. Emmitt abused tyler and his siblings alot and his mother took on that pain as well. When Tyler Perry’s mother died he went to get a DNA on his “father” and found out he wasn’t his real father. Willie Maxine and Emmitt perry did get a divorce but their is not information on when and why they did. Tyler Perry did not complete high school but got a GED, he was a good child when he was young, he just didn’t like his life.
The song (Father Can You Hear Me Tyler Perry) Reminds me of Tyler because he didn’t give up on his life as a young child. His mother took him to church every week,Tyler was a strong boy when he was young because some kids wouldn’t have been able to live with all he went through. Tyler Perry had became successful because he had God by his side,God showed him there was more to life than what was going on to him as a young boy. God had something better for him that’s why he became so successful, all because he didn’t end his life and didn’t give up hope. Tyler Perry is telling people not to give up 5
on life because your life is/was bad, God always has something in storage for you.
Metaphor/Simile About Being Famous Being famous is like a rollercoaster of emotions We experience a lot of up’s and down’s Putting on smiles for the press to make it seem like our life is great A broken heart is what I feel like Time is a thief when you're me a celebrity The paparazzi circled like vultures around me For those who know me my heart is a crystal as a beam People think they know me because my information is on the web Although half can be lies I live my life like a normal person Just with more opportunities and more money The famous life can seem to ruin you As in depths of many seas My heart was drowned in memories Being famous isn’t for me
An
Imaginary Day In The Life of Tyler Perry
It’s 5:00am in the morning and Tyler Perry is up and wide awake, he has his stylist measure him so he can get his suit and make sure it fits.After he gets in the shower and gets dressed, he makes sure he has his breakfast ready and hot when he get’s done getting dressed, He eats his Pancakes, 6
Sausage, Eggs, Biscuit and his Apple juice. After he gets done eating he goes in his living room and reads this book “Everyone Brave Is Forgiven”he read’s for about one hour, after he get’s done reading he goes to his office to check his emails and make business calls and have a conference meeting on his computer with skype, he does all that for three hours. He tells his secretary to make sure she has his ride ready for 9:00am so he can go to his studio called “Tyler Perry Studio” he goes there to shoot his projects there including the four series he produces for OWN; For Better Or Worse, The Haves And Have Nots, Love Thy Neighbor and If Loving You Is Wrong. He produces more shows?movies as well. As he enters the studio he turns everything on for his workers. As they arrive around 9:47 a.m. they go to their sections and get ready so they can start practicing for their next skit. As they are practicing Tyer get’s annoyed because he told them to practice their parts last night but they clearly didn’t. I would have never thought of Tyler Perry as a mean guy like the one who yells he always seems to be nice guy but you never know what to expect unless you meet them in person. The crew finally got their parts together and they all leave, all that practicing took hours.
AfterNoon After he get’s done from the studio he goes to eat at this fancy restaurant called “The Capital Grille”. He orders the “Double Cut Limb Ribs Chops” which cost $46.00 and he orders wine which is called “The Calling, Dutton Ranch, Russian River Valley, Chardonnay” which is $34.00 a glass . He isn't alone he has a business meeting with a guy who owns a very big Television Show. The guy orders something simple a salad and some water. They talk about what his next project is going to be. he’s deciding whether or not if he wants to do a movie or a play. After they get done discussing the project for an hour they finish their meals and shake hands 7
and head out. After the business meeting he headed back home to take a nap he gets in the shower and get into some shorts and a hollister shirt and slept for three hours. When he awakes it’s 5:00pm he puts on some workout clothes and heads to the gym he lifts weight, runs on the treadmill etc. He heads back home and showers and puts a suit on and heads to a meeting at Slalom Consulting which is a Business and Technology Consulting, he talks about where he wants to move his studio because he wants it even bigger to where he can have more play rooms and other bigger things, the other businessmen say they will think about it to see if they can find him a bigger place or to see where he can find a bigger place to build a new studio, it’s now 9:00pm Tyler Perry’s secretary calls his ex-wife to get his son tonight, he picks his son up and heads home.
Night When his son comes over they watch movies play games and fool around. Mr. Perry has a movie theater in his house so they watch the movie “Sing” and “ Captain Underpants”. After they get done with the movie they head to the bowling room in his house and play 4 games. Then they go to his indoor pool where he has a slide and other water thing’s they swim until their tired and hungry. His son, Aman, decided he wanted pizza so they ordered pizza and sat down and talked about school and other things. After they got done eating pizza they had some strawberry ice cream and they played hide-and-seek then Aman get’s tired and Tyler reads him a bedtime story until he falls asleep. Mr. Perry goes to his room and get’s out his laptop to finish writing his book (Can’t tell it’s a secret) he does that until it’s 12:00am then he heads to bed.
