This wasn't my favorite reading and I thought even though it was short it was kind of dull. I think that the theme of some people don't fit in and the establishment works to make everyone the same is overused. Her take on the way that people react to it is a little different. I wasn't sure if she actually lives in a country that is different than the one she was born in. The reason I think it might be meant to take literally is because her voice sounds different so maybe she has an accent from somewhere else. The article did make me think about how fitting in is difficult for some people and that kindness should be shown to everyone.
Our Documentary is looking pretty good. We were a little behind on the editing and our footage didn't seem as good as some other groups. But, I think that this week we've realized that our interviews are really strong and our topic is a good one. We currently have a pretty good couple of minutes, but we need to iron out audio and transitions andn make some B-roll changes, but I think by Monday we'll have a really good documentary.

Blog Post 9
We got our most important interview done and feel like we have enough interview footage for our documentary. We could use some more B-roll, but have decided to start editing down and decide what extra footage we need. All of us are feeling really good about reaching the deadlines and being ready to do our best. Hopefully we will be able to complete it well. Our biggest obstacles now will be getting in to edit and using the software correctly. I think that we wish that we had gotten our filming done early but sill have enough time.
The article is really provoking because a lot of the time we forget that a lot of the people in the world don't enjoy the freedoms that we do. To not be able to speak your mind and have one source of media and only one way that you are allowed to think would be terrible. It makes one appreciate the privileged life that we enjoy. I think that it is really sad that people in a country's government could show such little care for their citizens.
