The more I read "Working Class Hollywood", the more I realize what a strange social construct the idea of Hollywood is. Honestly, I don't really love the book because I find the writing does not hold my interest very well. However, I do find the overall idea to be quite intriguing. Similar to my last blog post, I am now finding myself looking deeper into when I subconsiously think about going to the movies or a concert on a Friday night. I realize now as I come to the conclusion of this novel that the idea of going to any sort of theatre on the weekend is a relatively recent phenomenon which is now enjoyed by the middle class rather than just the upper class.
As the year is coming to a close, all the responsibilities and due dates that I thought were so far away are slowly creeping up on me. However, I am just happy I made it to the end. I will begin (I know, I know, i'm a procrastinator) working on my book project this weekend and am trying to figure out a unique way to display the information I have learned from reading this novel. I really liked my last performance task because it was so personal, and I hope I can add that touch to this task as well. Additionally, I have started doing some research for my research paper on the film "I Feel Pretty" and I think it will be a relatively fun essay to write (as fun as writing an essay can be with Senioritis). I am excited to write about something that I actually care about, as I really do care a lot about female stereotypes, especially when they deal with being appearance-obsessed. I feel like being obsessed with physical appearance is an issue that most women (including myself) have dealt with at some point during their lives, and I am intrigued to do more research on the scientific explanation behind it. That's all for now. Happy Friday.
