Stuff learned...

This week in my English class we learned about "satire". She explained to us what it is about by giving us the definition and examples on some paper. To give us a better example and make sure that we truly knew what it meant our classes for the next two meeting just dealt of us watching The Producers. We needed to watch the movie and write down examples of satire when we saw it. On the last class meeting we finished watching The Producers; our assignment for this word is to write a journal and give the examples that we saw in the movie. In my theater class we had to do a project and it consisted of picking a character out of a list, and once we picked out our character we had to dress our character to the way they were described. My character was tall, model like, high fashioned, and was raised in money. So i went through some magazines and found some pictures of some very high priced clothes. This project sounds pointless and when my professor explained it to us the first thought that went through my mind was how this at all dealt with Theater, but when the project was over it all made sense. This project was showing us that even though you can find costumes in high price the theater department needs to go through the cheaper stuff and make the costumes needed because not all the money can go to the clothes wore. This is useful to help us explain how theater works and what the producers go through for every show.
