I was planning on doing the Patriot but i decided to do Little Women instead because Maddie Dulle has the movie so we were just going to watch it together.
Jeffery, B. 2nd. I chose the movie, Little Women because as i was looking through the story it really interested me. It is about family that consits of a mother a father at war and 4 sisters. The eldest daughter, Jo is the leader of the pact. It is her dream to be a writer and her ultimate goal is to give evryone everything they every wanted. Through-out the story events occur that make her doubt what she is doing with her life and in the end she makes a discion that finally reaches her goal.
@the Little Women Popcorn Party Ladies:) That sounds like fun!! I am glad to know that you are taking this opportunity to do something fun, along with doing your homework:)
@Everyone: I cannot tell who is posting here. Make sure that you post with your own name/account. Sometimes the post reflects two names. I want to make sure that you get credit. Make your own account so that I can find you and give you credit for posting. If I can't find you, I can't give you credit:(
Cold Mountain is actually a novel from the AP reading list. Choosing a movie that is based on a classic novel has an "extra" benefit. I thought that someone had mentioned watching Moby Dick. This is also a classic novel, too:)
@Steffi. It is a good choice:)The author struggled with gender stereotypes in real life. Notice that the characters all have masculine names. Think about gender stereotypes as you watch the film. You will find that the author of the novel was ahead of her time with some of her thoughts about the subject:)
@Carlie. That sounds great:) I am smiling just thinking about you guys munching popcorn and watching your movie. This good experience will make writing the essay easier. You can think about how the group reacted to the movie and the conversations that you had. Good choice!! Have fun, little ladies:)
Gone With the Wind. Clausen, E. 5th period. I have always wanted to see this movie and now seems like the perfect time! @Jen, Jenny if you do decide to do this one let me know and we'll have a movie party!
Like Kara, I have decided to switch from The Patriot to Little Women because I think I will benefit more from this project if I discuss and watch it with my friends. Perry, E Period 2
Switching your movie choice is fine. By your initial post, you demonstrate that you have "something" as a basis for the assignment. If you choose to change your mind, that is okay with me:)
