19 classes down and one to go! I am finally in the last class for school. This one looks to be routine and it focuses on ethics in business, school, and personal ethics. I'm not sure what the university thinks the students have learned about ethics, most of us have been desparate to meet the deadlines each week. I've learned to write to the grade requirement, not to what I really believe. Maybe that can be my topic on the value of being a student and applications in the workplace. Then again, I want the A, so I'll write what the instructor wants to hear. Sad, but true. In 6 weeks, I'll have forgotten it all. Who knows? I might even get to see movies in a movie theater again soon!
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...
I'd give you an ethics paper of mine that you could turn in, but then, it is an ethics class. I am so enjoying catching up on movies and TV.
