I looked through many blogs in search of an aspect that would set the blog apart from the other blogs and give me material that i could respond to instead of just critique. I found a post like this in Maggie's blog, titled "Class Response: Rise and Fall of Movies."In this post, she talked about concepts from the lesson, shared her opinions on them, gave counterarguments, and didn't lose my attention once. What I found really impressive was that, on the contrary, I love going to the movies and have very different opinions then Maggie does, but she almost convinced me that staying home and reading a book was the better option.
I am one of the people she described that finds movies very immersive. I enjoy the experience of going out to see a movie with friends, although it is not just Maggie that has other ideas. I have talked to several people in J&C that "hate" movies. Before this year, I found movies to be a medium that everyone enjoyed because there are so many different genres. Maggie and a couple other students really opened my eyes to other viewpoints and have sparked my curiosity. If there are so many reasons to love movies, but so many reasons to hate them, why are they such a huge medium? Movies have put stereotypes in my head about high school, gave my dreams and goals life and created so many experiences that before, I couldn't imagine a life without them. Thank you Maggie, for introducing me to opinions different then mine. Very nice job.
