Scribe 4/3/13

Today we watched Stranger than Fiction to prepare for our summary response that is due Monday. We took notes in class comparing the difference between a creator and a creation.

Creator Examples:

·         Causes what is going to happen

·         Has complete control over whether he lives or dies

·         Controls his love interest with Anna Pascal

·         She has a responsibility to say what will happen

·         The creator is just as lost as the creation

·         He is almost OCD regarding his job as shown through his wristwatch which is a symbol of his job

Creation examples:

·         She does not narrate everything

·         He has free will but he his set on a path

·         Stops actions when Eiffel narrates

·         Seeks out help

-          English professor

-          Psychiatrist

·         Doesn’t what to do what the creator says and constantly tells her to “shut up”

·         He tries to determine whether his life is a comedy or a tragedy

·         Coming to the conclusion the that he doesn’t control his fate

·         Poses the question on how to live if death was upon him 

Remember our last lecture part two is due on Monday!
