I'm not too sure whether or not we are supposed to answer the reflection question on the back of the reading but I will anyways.
When talking about an instance where someone "got me wrong" or made an assumption about me that was false, this usually happens to me on daily basis. The common reaction I get from people when they don't know me is "Barbie" and believe me, I'm no where near Barbie standards whatsoever. I mean lets be realistic here, Barbie is perfect and I am in no way, anywhere close to perfect. And I don't see myself as Barbie at all, some say it's a compliment but I'm still not sure, to this day, how to take it.
As far as this article goes, I'm not too sure what's it's trying to say...I found myself reading it three or four times but I just don't understand what it's trying to get across. I know the narrator is of a different race, and the narrators "instructor" is white, and that the instructor wants his student, to write a page of something...which I am not certain of what the topic is! And throughout the story the narrator tells about himself, and comes to the realization that him and his instructor are different in many ways, but they have a commonality which is being American. That's what I got from this reading.
Moving onto the process of the Documentary project, my group and I are doing AMAZING. we are really moving along, we actually just did an interview with Mrs.Saddler earlier today, and we intend on getting some more shots of the art room, and maybe an interview with an art teacher. I think we are leaning more towards staying within South High for the documentary, because our school was once known for the arts program! We brought in our tape to MTN and uploaded it on the computer already, so we do plan on making cuts on certain shots and putting things together to start our trailer! I can't wait to put it all together and to see the final outcome.
