Classic American Film, Thursday, Period 4

[eager-platypus.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon," Ziva said, greeting the class once it seemed like everyone was there. The desks were still in the classroom, but there were more comfortable chairs and beanbags on the floor as well, in case anyone wanted a nicer seat in front of the television screen.

"The first film we are going to watch together is one that some people might not consider a classic. Olympia is not a terribly old film at all, but it was an extremely successful film, and it deals with a real event that actually took place in American history. Therefore, I thought it would be a good place to start our class. First, we will watch the movie, and then we will have a short discussion. Does that sound good?" Without waiting for an answer, Ziva clapped her hands. "Wonderful, let us get started."

"I would have helped others get to their boats," Bod said without hesitation. "The children first, especially, since they probably weren't strong swimmers and needed those more than anyone else. I'd want to help before I'd want to save myself."
