Ideas

So I'm forced to rewrite my first writing assignment. I am not going to lie, I think I deserve it. I tried doing to much at one time and became overwhelmed at a crucial time. That time was when during the time leading up to my first writing assignment's due date. The date of when I handed the assignment is the due date of which I had to hand the assignment in. I wrapped my assignment around a sex trait men possess. I became compelled to write about an idea when I had to do a report. This should never happen. I led myself to believe that I had the best take on my assignment because of nonsense. What compelled me is an idea that had something to do about my past. Sometimes (when describing people, places, and things) people can lose sight of the objective. When writing a report is it easier to follow requirements having meaning to the report, or is it easier to find meaning. Again this is another idea. In class after watching The Hitch Hiker, we spoke on how the bad guy and good guy are portrayed and how they see each other in the movie. I asked the question why do the captive good guys eagerly wash their faces with the dirty water, after the bad guy says if you want to wash yourselves with that filth go ahead. My idea for my essay can be like the water the good guys use to wash their face. The assignment to write a report can be like getting out of the climate the good guys and the bad guy experienced, getting away from the bad guy, and getting into their natural environment back to the way they once new life to be. The dirty water like my idea just presented another problem. I had to back up my idea with facts once I made it a factor. The bad guy may not have washed his face with the dirty water. Yes, that is correct! He did sit in dirt, hike, and walk through tall grass/weeds (for lack of a better word). He could've presented his own problem of having to keep his face clean. The good guys may have good skin so maybe they won't experience what the bad guy has to experience. This kind of skeptical awareness is made to be shown repeatedly from the bad guy to back up what he's working with. Take the scene when they are at the bar. The good guy speaks in another language to the bartender. The bad guy says, "If I want you to speak Mexican, I'll tell ya". Then after the bad guy tells one of the two good guys he has captive at the bar some orders for him that involves him speaking in the other language with the Mexican bartender. The bad guy also adds that he will be looking at the bartenders face to see if he's frightened. These kind of scenes add depth of character to a movie. It is all a movie needs a long with cutting, positioning, lighting, sound, style, theme, genre, editing, and e.t.c sometimes.
