Mr. Rivers started out class by saying that if you are confused with the concept of lens, you can:
- Go in for extra help during lunch
- Send an email
- Check the Daily Blogs
If you had missed any part of Get Out over the past couple of days, it is streaming on CineMax (don’t hold me accountable on spelling) so that you could catch up and watch it there. OR, that you could come in during a study hall or lunch and watch the part of the film that you missed on whatever day that you were absent - this is to help with themes, arguments and perspectives.
Assignments:
Ready Player One Level Two (page 266) is due by Tuesday. The requirements that he wants ready for Tuesday are:
- Apply a political or social lens to Level Two. What does the text critique about contemporary American society or politics?
- Prepare TWO-THREE PASSAGES for class discussion and writing.
- Identify, analyze, annotate, etc.
Continuation: what you missed in Get Out:
The Armitages' wealthy friends arrive for the party. It's mostly older white people who say many inappropriate things to Chris. Chris sneaks off and finds a blind man named Jim Hudson, who says that all the people there are ignorant. When Chris goes back to mingling with the guests, he discovers another black guy. He's about Chris' age and Chris tries to bond with him, but he too is stiff and unnatural like Walter and Georgina. Chris decides to check in with Rod, and he finds his phone unplugged. He plugs it in, calls Rod, and tells him everything that's been going on. Rose finds Chris and he tells her how weird everything is and that his phone was unplugged. She tells him he's just being paranoid because he's in an uncomfortable situation. He agrees and she leaves. Rod tells Chris to take a picture of the black guy and he will see if he remembers him. As Chris is about to leave, he's blocked by Georgina who apologizes for unplugging his cellular phone. He says that it's fine and that he didn't mean to rat her out. She doesn't understand. So he clarifies that he didn't mean to get her in trouble. She gets super weird and lets out a single tear while telling him that the Armitages treat her like family. Chris goes back outside and tries to discreetly take the familiar black man's picture with his cell phone, but has forgotten to turn off the flash. As soon as his phone flashes, the man changes. He goes from overly prim and proper to raving. His nose starts bleeding and he jumps at Chris telling him, "Get out! Get the fuck out while you still can!" Rose asks her dad what happened and he explains that the flash must’ve caused him to have a seizure. The man comes out, apologizes, and return home. Chris tells Rose that he's sure he recognized the guy and that something strange is going on. Chris then says that he'd really like to go home. Rose agrees. She says she will make up something to tell her parents. At the house, Dean is holding a silent auction with his guests. Next to him is a picture of Chris. Jim Hudson wins the auction, the other guests go home. Chris goes to pack his belongings and gets a call from Rod, who tells him that the guy in the picture is a guy they knew named Dre, who used to work at a movie theater but went missing some weeks ago. The phone battery dies. Chris notices that the closet door is open.
