At this time I am a little uncertain about what I would like to write about ....
One of our first readings,Charlot, interests me a lot. I think it would be interesting to write about/learn more about the educated Indians and their way of life, which you never see in films about Indians.
Another topic that I might consider is the life of Indians and the way in which they were depicted in western films.
I like the topic Treatment of Christianity , positive or negative given by Dr. Griffiths. In the Searchers I feel like a great deal of negative treatment of Christianity was portrayed by the Rev.
I think your topic on Educated Indians would be a good one. All you ever hear about is the "movie" Indians who are uneducated savaged it would be nice to hear about what they were really like for a change.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kayla, it would be nice to see how the indians really were. And I also like the topic about the Christianity thing.
ReplyDeleteWe talked some more this morning about Charlot, and Tydria seems to have a good handle on how to take that topic. I asked her what drew her to that reading in particular, and she talked about his intelligence. It struck me that she write a wonderful paper on how Charlot proves himself to be a very logical and intellectual person, even if he didn't have the traditional education of some of his white readers. Now, she just has to find good passages to support her argument. :-)
