We spent the past two classes watching the movie "Crash," with the goal of reviewing elements of fiction. After we finished the movie, we spent time discussing aspects such as irony, symbolism, theme and characterization. In particular, we noted the use of stereotypes in the film, but observed that only one character could really be classified as a stock character. All other characters initially seemed to "fit" a stereotype; however, after some development to each story, the stereotypes dissolved and complex, unique characters emerged.
A reminder that if you haven't yet written a synthesis essay, you will need to do that this week. Please see me to set up a time.
Also, the poetry re-test will take place next Monday, at 3 pm.
