Today in class, Mr. Rivers greeted us with a good morning. He told us we were going to continue watching our movie. The movie was Wall-E. We took notes on the many themes, tones, and topics in the scenes of the movie. When we took our final notes on the movie, Mr. Rivers told us to know greet our groups with a good morning and to discuss our themes, tones and topics with them, we were supposed to have a total of five of them. I greeted my group and we discussed our themes, topics, and tones in the movie. When we finished discussing them with our group, we were asked by Mr. Rivers to make a top 3 themes list. My theme was put into my group, which was "Plants are the meaning of life". When we made out top 3, we were asked to put them in a slide that Mr. Rivers put on classroom. We did what were asked and we were able to narrow down our top 3 themes to put into those slides. After we finished that, we were asked by Mr. Rivers to pick a number 1 theme to use in a new assignment in our group. We picked Julian Rodriquez's quote, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely" because it was the best quote to be analyzed in the movie. It showed how the people on the ship were being programmed to never go back to Earth by all the things given to them to not think about Earth. I thought that theme was a good one as well. We started to organize out paragraph, but never go to write. We will start doing that tomorrow

Good details about our class in here. Not so sure I buy the theme that you guys settled on. Where do we see absolute power in this film? Absolute power corrupts absolutely may have a pithy ring to it, but you’re selling yourself short in terms of what real assertions you are capable of developing. We’ll see what happens when you start bringing evidence into that. Where is the extension? We have talked about this in class several times! You will only get half credit if you do half of the assignment.
