Based on the first 40 minutes of the film and Chapters 1–11 of the book, does the visual version of Chris’s journey make his choices seem more justified or more reckless than the text does? Explain how the medium (film vs writing) shapes your perspective.

 Prompt Response: I think the movie makes Chris look more justified because it is in order of what he does. IN the book they do flashbacks and show what he has done in his life but the movie makes him seem more normal. The book is better in my opinion but the movie also helps the understanding of the book. It makes Chris seem way more justified and a regular human but the book makes him seem crazier. 

Summary: Today in class we watched the movie version of the book.

Reflection: I learned more about the movie and how the movie is different from the book.
