I'd like to start by saying that the movie was pretty good!! Originally, I didn't think I would like it that much, seeing how zombies don't interest me AT ALL!! But, I ended up really enjoying the movie!! I was pleased that we were able to watch a movie instead of just sitting around in class while a couple people discussed the readings that EVERYONE was supposed to read!! However, with that said, I don't know what to say about this research paper................
Honestly, I have NO clue about how I'm going to do this essay. I mean, I just don't like the fact that the research paper topics seemed to be limited to zombies and horror films!! Honestly, I feel like we should be able to do a research paper on any film that interests us for good reason, instead of limiting it to something that only interests a couple of people!! And I KNOW I'm not the only one that feels this way, but I guess I can't do anything about it, so, I'll just have to find a way, ONCE AGAIN, to fill a long essay, this time 8-10 pages, on something I could CARE-LESS about!!
Although the movie was good, all the "suggested" topics to write the paper about are INCREDIBLY confusing to me, and I think the paper needs to be discussed MUCH MORE in class!! I feel like it's just ASSUMED that everyone knows what to do after a half-hearted discussion about this 8-10 page paper!! Then once it gets turned in, people receive bad grades because they didn't know what was REALLY wanted, and how to do it, from jumpstreet!! But, oh well, I guess this is just my opinion, but I'm POSITIVE I'm not the only one that feels this way. But I may be the only one with enough guts to say it!!

If you're having trouble understanding the assignments or what is expected of you, it's your responsibility to ask questions. If you don't want to ask them in class, you need to make an appointment to meet with me to discuss these issues. Not understanding what's going on or what is expected of you is no excuse for poor performance. No college professor is going to hold your hand or wipe your bottom for you. If you're not getting what you need, you need to act like an adult and ask for it.
