  1. I would have never seen that connection between New Moon and our class. It really shows that the topics we have covered are involved so many parts of our lives. Great connection!

  2. I also would have never made the connection between this movie and our lectures from class, but it does make alot of sence. It is quite remarkable the effect that our emotions have on our actions. Your feelings can make you do crazy things that's for sure. When you go through a seperation with someone that you love it can be very difficult to handle. I know that everyone has been through a breakup and everyone deals with it differently, but it definitely has a way of bringing out the fighter within yourself because without that fight you may get stuck in a web of depression that might take quite some time to crawl out of.
