Reflection Jan/9/23

  Today, we watched a film called "The Elevator".  In the film, there was a man who chose to ride a elevator in which he noticed that there were some overweight people in it.  The elevator would come to a constant stop that would result in more overweight people joining.  The man noticed this and became more skeptical and paranoid to the point where he started to predict and calculate everyone's weight and compare it to the mass limit of the elevator.  The elevator started to act weird which only made the man more paranoid. There was one very overweight man getting ready to enter the elevator and the man decided to finally exit the elevator. After he got off, he decided to enter another elevator which had people who looked to be normal and average weight. The man had a look of relief as he walked into the elevator but once he got on, the people started to cough indicating that they were sick.  When the video ended, we talked about what we thought the theme of the story was.  We gathered that it was about not judging a book by its cover and that sometimes you have to do things the hard way to avoid certain situations.  The second theme came from an observation that the man didn't try to take the stairs. The last relevant thing we did was a kahoot about Me.Reese resulting in the winners getting some sort of work pass.
