Only one more to go

            We have now been in New Orleans for a full two weeks, even though we far away from becoming natives to the city I feel like we have been able to learn and integrate our own observations into the city.  As a class our largest focus has been on learning about the city through the citizens and in the process of doing so help the people by completing community service.  Through out the weeks I have focused my attention on the differences each person is able to view through the city.  When I first started interviewing citizens for our podcast project I discovered that there were different responses almost every time.  The people I talked to all valued different things as their most important—everything from food, lifestyle and even the difference the city itself represents. 

            With this idea in mind I plan to complete my final project on the differences of the city and how these differences make it a home for many people and many the favorite city of many.  In my documentary I plan to integrate the interviews I used for my podcast and interject more of my own opinion to form my interpretation of the city through an outsiders perspective—even as we become more integrated into the city itself.

  1. Kim,
    I suggested this to MoPete as well--let's talk about your final idea "becoming more integrated into the city itself"--at dinner this evening.
