IRA Peak final reflection

So over the course of this semester I have been reading Peak.  It is a good book but I had a hard time forcing myself to read it.  It wasn't like Hunger games where I couldn't wait to find the time to continue reading it.  I always found time to do it but put it off and just didn't read it.  when I did read it it was fantastic and well written to keep you attached to it.
So in the end of the book Peak got to 10 feet before the peak of Everest and didn't finish and let Sun-Jo be the youngest to ever reach the top.  He did it because it would change sun-jo's life and bring him tons of money and allow him to take his bros and sisters to school.  We also learned that Sun-Jo's dad actually saved Peaks father and that is one of the reasons that Peak felt an obligation to let him up first.  It is odd since Peak made it up easily and Sun-Jo had to be helped up, but Sun-Jo needed to make it up and go down the other side or else he would have been arrested and detained by the police.  Peak agreed to never try to climb everest again and the book ended with him going to his sisters birthday party.
It is hard to fathom that Peak made it all that way and then decides not to finish, It is very unselfish and just doesn't seem right.  It was a great written book and I would recomend all to read it.

Saturday

So our group didn't get everything done in class so we decided to meet at the school to try and finish our video and just plain do work.  We meet at 12 after dallas, gibler, and jerrin got back from a choir/band thing.  so we did alot of filming on Sat. I think we did like 5 scenes.  The scenes all went very well but some of them we had a hard time thinking how to portray a certain theme.
After that we gave the footage to Jerrin to put it all together and edit all the parts.  I haven't seen the finished product yet but I'm sure it will be good.  He has said that he has it all done but he still has some exta fire to put in and another comercial to add in.  I can't wait to see it tommorow and I will put another blog to put my reflections on how good it is lol.

Week in Review to this point in our project

So this week we got our project going pretty well.  We started our filming on tuesday and it went slow on that day because we were missing both Dallas and Micheal (not sure how you spell his name but that looks good) so we were very limited on what we could do.  But I was gone on Wed. so they couldn't do much either, but between those days we were able to film both of our comercials and a new comercial that we are going to write into the script sometime.
On thursday it got real, even though we were missing Jerrin we were able to do alot of stuff.  We filmed a couple different clips and it went pretty well and I think turned out great.  We will film all the interview stuff today if we can because we will need the couch.  We will try to get it all done because I won't be able to stay after school because I have golf, and so does micheal.  But it is going good but we are crunched for time.
