Week 3 Denitza

Today we got prepared in creating outlines for final exams.
After that we had to choose a question and answer it with the help of the outlines.
My group and I chose; "Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending."
We were supposed to then discuss the validity of this statement in relation to the Godfather PartI.

Through the characterization, dialogue and scence filming this statement is valid because it illuminates the overall theme of power and the boundaries between business and family, in relation to the Godfather Part I.
Through the characterization in the Godfather Part I, power and the care for family and business is showed.
-----
Due to completing a whole write up, we put out our ideas and after tried again to somehow connect them into the outline table.

*connecting between the first and the last scence of Part I.
*From when the scene begins with a man and ends with a woman.
*beginning: audience accepted into the office
ending: audience (with Kay) stay outside the office
*wit and how that is used to illuminate power between Michael and Vito
* "Its not personal, It's strictly business."

We had so many ideas that we wondered off into the question about the rights of men and women. And even though we talked about a different question, I was still happy because we continued to argue/ work on each others' ideas on different literary features. We basically chose a literary feature and began to expand on it. I think that this was a great practise in recognizing where and how we can use certain literary feature and still answering 1-2 questions from the DP Paper 2 Exam questions.
