My Final Research Paper Game Plan.

During the next two weeks I need to work on creating a powerful and cohesive conclusion. Also another aspect of my paper I must fix is my Works Cited page. My paper would be a lot stronger with those corrections. I will  take time this week to make these changes, I have an extremely busy schedule due to school and work.

Close  Reading  of  Film  Stills  in "A Beautiful Mind" .

       The film still where John was hugging his old college roomate reveals that he in fact was sick. He saw, interacted and touch people who were not real. I noticed that in the film still they were standing outside of Harvard. I got a chance to examine the setting and the little girl.
       The film still where John was laying on the floor reveals that the character is sick and in denial. The message of the film was that John was down, literally. He was going through a rough time in his life.  I noticed that the psychiatrist is walking away from John while he’s on the floor whereas I didn’t pay it any mind watching the film. I could use this film still to discuss John becoming sick throughout the movie. The difference is that I get to fully look at the setting and emotions displayed in the still whereas the movie just flowing by. This exercise helped me look at these scenes through a different light.
