Today's Objective: Basically the same as yesterday-- Analyze intertextuality of complex texts.

Today in class, we took a more in-depth analysis of intertextuality. In particular, we began to compare and contrast the content found in the text version and film version of "No Country for Old Men." Half of the class watched the first scene of the film and looked for things that were also found in the text (front half of the class), while the other half of the class looked for things that were not in common between the book and the film (back half of the class). 

After we had watched some of the movie, we went ahead and posted a sentence that summarized our findings on Google classroom in response to a classmate. One example is from Steph Chalef, who typed "The movie scene shows the same scene, where Chigurh is choking deputy by strangling him. There is a parallel between the book and the movie." As you can tell, it is pretty simple-- you simply had to find something in common (or in contrast) between the movie and film and describe it. The image below is from the film we began watching; this scene in particular was in both the film and text.
