Question: Respond to the film/ what choices did the director make?
Date Assignment is due:10/16/19

Response: As I started to watch the movie, I had noticed that the director starts the movie off with a voice that is supposed to be Malcolm and he is accusing the white man against what they have done. As he says this, the background is an American flag getting burnt and then continuously switches into  a clip of a black man being beat by white police officers. As the movie starts, it shows a man who is getting his shoe shined by a little black boy, who also carriers his groceries as they transition to the barber shop where they spot Malcolm. When I had saw the actor for Malcolm, Denzel Washington, I was a bit surprised because I thought that Malcolm was going to be younger based on the book we read. Then, the movie soon turns into a dance with Malcolm and his friend in their nice suits and haircuts. One thing I didn’t like how the director had directed the movie was when there was a long period of time which was just Malcolm dancing and flirting with girls. Near the end of the period, we also got to see a seen where Malcolm smashes a glass bottle on a mans head and proceeds to put on his hat and join the gentlemen who had bought him a drink. Overall, this is what I think about the director, and how they directed the movie.

-So far this week I have had a good amount of work to catch up to and I was pretty successful with it. Also, my classes have been going well and I have developed a better understanding of the book we are reading, Drown. I also was able to hand in all of my tasks.

  Go back to the beginning. What’s interesting or ironic about the way the narrator calls Beto a “pato” (offensive term for homosexuals)? What does it suggest to you about this narrator?        What do you notice about the way the narrator narrates the past and present?  For example, skim back over the first 1.5 pages.  What is his mind doing as his body gets up and goes outside?      Where do you see Diaz repeat the visual motif of people seated beside each other (it comes up at least twice in this story)? So what?  How do you find yourself responding to it? FFW:  When  the narrator calls Beto a “pato”,which is an offesive term for homosexuals,what does it suggests to me about the narrator is that the narrator might be homophobic so he refers to homosexuals with his slur, "pato."Additionally, Beto might have said something to the narrator that set him off causing him to utilize this slur...

1.Who's kid is this? When it comes to whose kid it is, it is Cut's kid. Also the kids father is missing . 2. What does Lucero do for the kid? Lucero gives the kid 2 hamburgers to eat. 3. What are the other guys doing while he is eating? They are peeing on the guy, Eggie, while he is knocked out and just fool around the whole time. 4.  What do you notice Lucero doing at the end of the scene while the kid eats? As the kid is eating I noticed that Lucero was just watching him, and not just looking at him but making it a priority to stare at him as he eats. For example, the boy goes to hide as he eats and Lucero watches over him as he goes to either reassure his well-being or to just stare at him. Something else that I observed was that although he bought the burgers for the kids and was watching him, he doesn't really express any emotion throughout his actions.  5. So what? What does this suggest to us about Lucero? What does it help us to see might be lurking ...
