Projects

It was really interesting to see some of the first projects other students tackled last Thursday. Based on the presentations, we were able to see other student opinions and I think in a class dealing with race and gender, having an opinion is really important. Some students chose to take on "touchy" issues and hearing different opinions on those was great. My project was over the women in Lost, primarily in the first season. I don't think that Lost portrayed them in any stereotypical way (except for one character) and portrayed them all very differently and fairly. I chose Lost for my project simply because it is one of my favorite shows and I've watched it so often it was easy to write an essay over it from memory.
