Class today was particularly interesting. Blog days are always a bit hectic and rushed. We gathered with our groups and began our pre-production pages. Our group, as referred to as "Twistery Inc." was excited for this blog. The movie we chose was one of our favorites. "Shutter Island" has an incredible twist at the end that we could not wait to talk about. Also, in this third quarter of our book, we finally got to the "twist". Turns out, Amazing Amy is an Amazing psychopath. She's been alive the whole time. This was one of our most exciting podcasts filled with intelligent conversations and exciting revelations. We started our podcast off with one of my questions; "How are both the women in the film and the novel portrayed as mentally insane?" We discussed how Amy has a history of lying and absurd accusations which appointed to this new one. On the contrary, Deloris was completely normal. The only signs of trouble was when she described to her husband that she had "bugs in her brain". Michaela then brought up how both men where blamed for their wives falling off the rockers. These discussions lasted for most of the podcast, which finished at 10 minutes and 58 seconds. This was our groups personal record. We had a hard time ending such great conversation. We finished with three minutes to spare, the bell ringing upon our entrance to the classroom. There was a lot of energy today and we felt as though it was some of our best work.
