Q: What are your thought about taking the class History Through Film? What do you hope to get out of this class and what strength do you bring to the class that will help us all progress forward as we learn?
A: I think taking this class will improve critical thinking which is a big thing considering that we are being taught to do this in English. Trying to imagine what someone from the past was thinking when something new comes up like colored picture is a hard task, it's like trying to erase everything you see in the present and go to the past. I knew going into this class thinking all we're going to do is watch movies was a bad idea. I thought that we would write papers and compare them to history or answer questions like how much of an impact do films make on society. I like history , without history how would we learn. History is like the brains memory. without memory how will we learn. I think this class will be fun with comparing history to film .
