It was so awesome to see everyone's presentations the past two weeks. It was fascinating to see that we all have so much in common! It definitely seemed that we all loved watching old Nickelodeon shows when we were younger. I also enjoyed seeing why everyone decided to become teachers and what particularly influenced their decision. I really liked seeing similarities that I had with others in the class. There were a few individuals that enjoyed the same movies and books that I do. That was really cool to see, and that helped to show me that I have more in common with people in class than I thought.
On another note, I have finished reading In Cold Blood! It was such a good book and I highly recommend it to everyone. What I enjoyed most about the book was the subject matter. The book is based on true events so Truman Capote wrote about interviews he conducted with people who knew the family and witnesses to the crime. The book was also made into a movie. I have yet to see the movie, but I have heard that it is really good. I read on IMDB that the movie recieved four Oscar nominations, so I am assuming it is a good movie! Hopefully over spring break I will get the chance to watch it!

I love love love Capote. I am glad that you enjoyed "In Cold Blood!" You have to see the movie. Stephanie blogged about how movies don't do the book justice but I think that you have to keep an open mind and realize that it takes a lot more to make a movie and sometimes things have to be left out. So don't go into watching the movie thinking that it is supposed to be an exact replica of the book. They are both good for what they are and you just have to leave it at that! I hope that you enjoy them just as much as I do! AND keep reading Capote! He is so amazing!

Suggestions? READ THEM ALL. haha My favorites are The Grass Harp and Other Voices, Other Rooms. Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic and pick up a collection of his short stories too! His writing is so wonderful. You have to see his movies too. In Cold Blood the movie was good but the movies about his life we sooo good too. Capote with Phillip Seymore Hoffman was wonderful! I hope you love Capote as much as I do! haha
