This video might be a little nerdy.
Anyway, this is how this class is making me read now. Focusing more about how effects are made and how the book wants me to think. I don't really see anymore into truth or lies in things now, but I am starting to think more about if effects are intentional or accidental and if things can be different for different people.

  1. 3 gold stars for Thomas! (You said "nerdy," so I'm just playing along.) But seriously... this is fan-freakin-tastic--an excellent example of what it is I hope you will begin to take away from this course. It's not necessarily about reading novels (although, in my opinion, that's certainly a nice bonus); it is about realizing that much of what you encounter out in everyday life can be read--and has often been designed--as a text... a text capable of manipulating you... just as you could be capable of manipulating it... if, indeed, you learn "to observe and to experience" simultaneously. Great post!

  2. I just wanted to say that I thought the video was actually really interesting and cool even though I barely play video games (read: I only play mario kart wii or super mario brothers on occasion).
