It got my attention right away because of the humorous atmosphere that the characters created. The emotions that I experienced during the film changed

Life of Pi: Reading Response When I began reading ‘Life of Pi’ by Yann Martel I had little expectation it would peak my interest. I expected it to be a boring school assignment that I would have to get through‚ process the information and put on paper. To my relief‚ this book was completely the opposite. I must admit‚ the beginning chapters were quite dry. I would have never chosen in the beginning of a book to mention a sloth‚ probably the most uninteresting mammal ever. Slowly‚ the book progresses

Life Is Beautiful Reflection Paper I can only imagine the movie “Life is Beautiful” was extreme controversial when is first came out. How could anyone make humor of such a tragic situation? Viewing the movie now days may not be so contentious. My personally believe the director did a great job showing what life meant to Guido and possibly actual people during the Holocaust. At the beginning of the movie‚ I had no idea it was going to be about the Holocaust. While viewing it I had a hard

The movie Life is Beautiful would not be a good film to show for the class. This is because the movie is like a comedy during a time which was anything but funny. Some events in the movie shown are the exact opposite of what would have happened in real life. I would not say this is a wise movie because of the joking nature‚ some events that would or would not happen‚ and how the movie hid the real violence. The joking in this movie make it an unwise movie to show. There were many people who would

Life + Debt was a great film; especially when followed by a lecture from Fran Korten on the trouble of lending through the International Monetary Fund. As with the other videos in the Social Justice course‚ I learned something new that I was completely unaware of… another way that developed nations like the U.S. take advantage of poorer nations through the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations. I didn’t realize what a negative toll globalization has had on poorer
