HW Mr. Padilla 4.6.16


Homework

Parents/guardians, please assist your child with today’s homework.  

 Topic: Fear is a theme in Monster.

* Sometimes I feel like I have walked into the middle of a movie. It is a strange movie with no plot and no beginning.  The movie is in black and white, and grainy. Sometimes the camera moves in so close that you can’t tell what is going on and you just listen to the sound and guess. I have seen movies of prisons but never one like this. This is not a movie about bars and locked doors. It is about being alone when you are not really alone and about being scared all the time.
