I think the movie was good and really brought about the reality of the journalism world. It taught me to recheck every fact that is given to me to find the truth in all of it. Stephen Glass was under way to much pressure and felt he was forced to fabricate stories to get farther in his career. This type of pressure can be easily related towards high schoolers and college students. There is so much pressure from teachers, professors, and parents to be the best you can be that you may feel unsuccessful when you are the opposite. This movie exemplifies the reality young adults face everyday to try and live up to what people think is their full potential. This movie also made me reexamine how much of the news I believe is true. Sometimes there are false facts in news and this is something I need to be aware of in the future so I am not swayed into thinking something that isn't true. Overall, I think this was a good movie to watch in the glass and it was better than I thought it would be.
Overall, I think this was the perfect English class to end my high school career. It was very independent which was good to get ready for college. It also forced me to write a lot which again will be beneficial next year. I think the recorded interviews was asking a little too much because I, along with many others, just wrote down answers without recording it for reliability. I really like the end of the class project where we made the newspaper layouts. That design aspect was very interesting and the final product actually looked like a newspaper. I really enjoyed this class and I believe it was very beneficial towards my future in college.
