Film

Looking back, it seems like a lot of groups chose to show movies for all or part of their presentation. I found it extremely helpful to see what we were reading come to life. Whether it was a movie completely based on the material, like "10 Things I Hate About You," or a movie that shared common themes with the material, like "Legion," they always helped give me a better understanding of what we had read. Almost everyone says that books are always better than the movies based on them, and while I believe that myself, it was still helpful to watch them side-by-side with the literature that went along with them. As was the case with most, if not all, of the movies we watched, they were modern interpretations of significantly older stories. It's amazing to think that stories which were written such a long time ago could be made popular in today's society by putting a modern spin on them. Obviously, some of the things we read truly are classic literature, which will surely continue to be read in English classes, and continue to be remade in modern ways.
