The longest yard

The longest yard is by far a movie that reflects male influences. Prison, football, and texas. Who could ask for more, right? There is not a moment in this movie where there is some form of competition between inmates, guards, and then players on the field. The opening scene with the car chase is very acceptable to a bunch of dudes. we think its funny. The other side to this story is that of the underdog in the inmates playing against a solid group of guards, however we see seperate groups between blacks and whites union into an effective team that have the oppurtunity to beat there foe. The revenge plot of the mistreatment of the inmates fuels there desire to play even more. Adam Sandlers main character, and quarterback who was accused of throwing a game was gives him a chance at redemption for his mistakes. The movie overall has many sub plots but they all reflect a masculan male influence, there are no love storys or reuniting with family. These guys are just out to kick ass in the most violent professional team sport on the planet and against a opponent ( the guards) who have been able to treat them all like dog shit. It is a story that offers great motivation for team unification, and has some very funny parts.

midterm

Im not sure what to think of the midterm exam, in a sense all the questions seemed more of an opinion and not a true yes or no option. With the topics that we cover in class i guess everything is seen on our on view or judgement on where people are in the class system in todays society since we have all come from a different background. When i left the class i was honestly wondering how the hell i did and had no idea so that was somewhat discomforting. So when i saw my grade i was just like o well could be worse, you see its the last semester for me and its really hard to care. That and the csi whatver show we watched, i have no idea how that was graded and i was confused on how to just wright or try to explain to do both. So is that what our final will be like? It just puts extra stress on us when we dont know how many assignments or bonus oppurtunities are aviable and give us a chance to up our grade up. That would be cool if you offered that so we could get the highest possible grade in the class. So other than that the class has been pretty cool and i dont mind going to it, even though its long and it takes forever.
