For inquiry 2 I’m interested in working with the film The Kings Speech. i watched this movie when it first came out and found it very interesting. i really enjoyed the story plot and like that it was based on a true story, which makes it even better! i think this would be a good movie to work with because since its based on a true event there has to be lots of negative and positive feedback about how the film was portrayed. I would like to compare and contrast the negative and positive comments thats critics and viewers made about the movie. I’m also excited to research more into why this film was nominated best picture, and to what audience it was aimed at.

After reviewing the comments that my classmates left I’m going to take the time to revise my paper. I think that there comments really helped me out. I got a better understanding of how to include my theme at the beginning of my paper so the readers don’t have to search for it though out my paper. I also have decided to add more clarity to my theme thanks to my peers comment. I think these comments and revisions will make my paper what I want it to be. It really helped me out! Thanks!

I thought that “soft rain on a hot mind” was better written because it didn’t have as much of a summary to it as did A Changing Identity. I did like that A Changing Identity was about a book which made it more difficult to analyze because you don’t see what is happening, but then again i didn’t like that every paragraph was a summary of what happened. The writer did do a good job at explaining his/her own thinking about what they thought the text was illustrating. I really liked the beginning of Soft Rain on a Hot Mind because Laud really explained in detail what she thought the text was about and then gave a quick overview of what the whole paper was going to be about.

The film i have chosen to do for our first project is The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. I have seen this film many times and really enjoy it, and I’m looking forward to digging deeper into the mind set of Hitchock. I’m excited to ‘read’ the film instead of just watch it. Because of this, I can try to understand why he made the film, and see if theres a deeper meaning to it than just the fact that a bunch of birds can take over a whole community and flee everyone away. i really enjoy all this films because he uses such good camera angles that really tell the story. He also does a good job at using color to illustrate the good and bad in people.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Schuppie and I am a freshman here at Miami and my major is early childhood education. I live here in Oxford Ohio and went to school at Talawanda. I have an older brother named Tyler who is a junior here at Miami. He is also an education major but wants to teach high school history. My mom works here in the psychology building, helping grad students. One benefit of having my mom working on campus is the fact that my brother and i get free tuition. I could not be more blessed to be able to attend Miami University, and i also get to see her about every day. I really enjoy playing tennis and hope to pick up on golf this summer. I also really enjoy watching football, especially my favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. Excited to get to know all of you this semester.
