What features do you think constitute the genre of Westerns? What questions of America might both of these films try to explore? Due for Monday Blog Post: How do you respond to this quotation from an Esquire review of the movie? Is this an accurate depiction of the dynamic Hell or High Water is able to portray of America? What are the factors that divide our country if it can't be explained by simple economics? "Much has been made since November 8th of the idea that liberals, and many other elites, failed to predict the outcome of the election because they didn't understand the "white working class" who make up much of rural America. Calls for empathy abound: We must learn about these poor people and appeal to them with an economic message. It's as though we had never been exposed to them before. But that's not true at all. A film like Hell or High Water felt comfortable enough in Americans' broader understanding of the economy to set its story within that milieu. The problem was never in understanding the way poorer people hit hardest by the recession might feel about the country. Poor black people didn't vote for Trump, for example. The divides in American society run far deeper than the present economic moment." Due for Friday Bring in a rough draft of your one-page reading of one of our sonnets!
