      I do partially agree with you however the trailer would have been way better if there was some sort of explanation.

  2. Landon~I can see there's a lot of action but the video quality is poor. Just from viewing the action, the quality, and the acting I can say confidently that this movie probably isn't good.

  3. I think this is a really good trailer. It is kind of hard to tell who the characters are though.

    2. It is pretty hard to tell who is who as we aren't given any names. This is a trailer that just shows part of the movie which can be confusing.

  4. Talon- It seems rather interesting would like to know more and wished it didn't end in a cliff hanger. I can not wait to watch and read what I just have seen

  5. From Alejandra; First of all, who are these people and why are they fighting? For sure one of them is Dantes. I'm guessing this happens later in the book, because I have no idea what's going on.

    1. I agree with Alejandra, one of them might be Dante but the other is still a mystery.

  6. Yubee Chang: This trailer is definitely interesting but what you see is confusing as you have no context other than that 2 people are fighting with swords.

  7. Aaliyah,
    In the movie Trailer I think that there should have been more than just a sword fight. I think this because since this book is so complicated the trailer could have been more descriptive. If I never read the book before I would have no idea what was going on.

    3. Talon- I agree with you Aaliyah. The trailer should have more part of the story to it like the prison and the characters didn't say much at all

  8. Ely Charqueno - What scene did the trailer show? Also, I noticed a sorta creepy guy staring from the window of the building the two men were fighting in front of. Maybe the two men fighting were Dantes and the Count of Monte Cristo or the Roman Bandit!

  9. Kylie- The tralier was very entertaining. Although, they needed to explain who they were and why they were fighting, because I was confused as to what scene they were reffering to.

    1. Alejandra- That's so true but I think this scene happens later in the book.

    2. Matthew: I agree with Kylie because the trailer gives no clues as to what scene in the book they are referring to.

    I didn't really understand what was going on, and couldn't guess what scene this was. It was very old fashioned, but it captured my interest.

  11. I think this trailer doesn't really show anything about the movie, it only shows a scene of two people fighting. It could've shown more about the movie instead of one scene.- Kaelyn

  12. Matthew: The movie trailer was confusing because I couldn't tell who the characters were, I couldn't tell where they were, and I couldn't tell what scene they were in. That trailer was just in general bad because the only thing they were doing was sword fighting in a field with 2-4 people watching them.

Life of Pi 2

Read the information below and respond in a comment to ONE of the questions. Be sure to restate the question. Chapter 5 Pi was unhappy as a child with his name (Piscine), as it was often mispronounced as “pissing” when it is meant to be pronounced as “pea-seen” . For that reason as he grows up and enters the next level of school, he makes a show of jumping up during roll call and announcing to the class that his name is “Pi” even illustrating it with the mathematical symbol on the chalkboard. 1. Why is it, as Pi suggests, “a law of human nature that those who live by the sea are suspicious of swimmers”? (p 22) 2. Pi explains “in that elusive, irrational number with which scientists try to understand the universe, I found refuge.” (p 24) How does this explain Pi’s character and nature?

Life of Pi 3

Read the information below and respond in a comment to ONE of the questions. Be sure to restate the question. Chapter 16 Pi’s first visit to a Hindu temple as a child is full of wonderment and worship rituals. He describes the details of the rituals and what they stand for in the religion. He is a very religious man and enjoys it, but explains that fundamentalism is flawed with a story about Krishna disappearing before possessive milkmaids. He mentions both Christians 13 for their trust in love and Muslims for their awareness of God in everything. He makes a very circuitous description of how different the religions are and yet how with a different hat they are completely interchangeable.  1. Pi suggests that “many people seem to lose God along life’s way.” Why is this the case? Is this true of our community/ society?  2. Describe the significant rituals of each of the religious traditions that Pi embraces.  3. Pi says “the universe makes sense...
