"Killings" Blog #2

A)You should have picked a murderer or a victim from the list of 60 choices I gave you [on D2L] by next Wednesday; I would pick at least two, as NO ONE will be allowed to have the same choice. For this reason, do not do any hard-core research (yet) on the murder case. I will allow much time in class for this, for several class meetings! Save yourself some time. I will ask everyone in class to tell why they picked the two choices. So have something typed out (~2-5 full sentences). DO NOT just say, "Oh I choose...whatever" that day, & think that will suffice.

B)For the blog, you will discuss in 7-10 succinct sentences why (if) your opinion about a character you selected changed during the film adaptation viewing. This is why I said to take notes during the screening. If your opinion did not change, perhaps it further solidified your opinion. Discuss that from the viewing of the first half; either way, do it in 7-10 succinct sentences here on the blog.  If your opinion is TOTALLY the same as when you read the short story, then you should discuss aspects that were added/ subtracted in the film adaptation & how they might have affected your interpretation--since you only had the short story to go on, prior!

C) Then, you will comment on one other student's stance/ chosen character, regarding the 1st half of the film. Both your comment & one for a fellow student's post is due Sunday, April 5th by 11:59 PM.
