Class This Week!

Ms. West had jury duty this week so she wasn't in class very much. We finished On The Waterfront and began our research papers. I am not sure what topic I want to do, definitely something that interests me, maybe abortion or assisted suicide or something. The research papers don't seem like research papers, they resemble persuasive essays more than research papers. We are just doing research to support our thesis that we are creating rather than writing an actual research paper. On The Waterfront was an average movie. I didn't really like it. The plot did not interest me enough. The issue with watching these movies and analyzing them for literary elements and the length of the shots, now when I watch a movie for pleasure, I look for those things and I don't enjoy the movie. I find it quite annoying.
