"Killings" blog #3

After tonight's presentation of topics aloud, you should have chosen an interesting topic someone else is researching; I don't expect YOU to research it. You can a tiny bit, if you wish; just say what struck you as interesting about their murderer/case. (1-3 sentences). If you were absent, look at the list & choose another case to look into.

For the 2nd half of In the Bedroom you were supposed to be watching for DETAILS. You should have found something subtle that you noticed they added to the film vs. the short story, or changed. Or, note if you interpreted it differently when you read it vs. how something was adapted for the screen.

Again, I gave the example of last week (1st half's viewing) when the lawyer could not understand their case since he did not have children; therefore, Matt & Ruth focused on the framed images of he & his wife's dogs; try to think of differences (additions/ subtractions) from the 2nd half of the film or details of how something was done on screen vs. or similarly to how you thought it would be done after having read the short story.

Keep researching for your paper!

Obviously, this will still be due 11:59 pm central time Sunday, April 12th & you are to comment on one fellow student's post!
