Traditional Relationships & Roles

Posted by Esperanza Gonzalez in Being Human - Giknis - C on

In this first quarter benchmark, our class read a book called The Metamorphosis and completed a benchmark based on it. Reading The Metamorphosis we explored the ways in which Franz Kafka’s tale responds to the many “isms” of his day. Our job was to come up with a some sort of literature that reflected our modern era. Our group decided to do a very popular topic in today’s world. We explored how traditional relationships and roles changed throughout time. 

We created a movie trailer to promote our movie “The New Bae”. It was based about a girl who cheated both men and wanted to have an open relationship. Then, created a New York Times movie review to mimic the audience’s response. Finally, we compared our idea about untraditional relationships to existing work in the industry.

the trailer is really funny and expressing the role of a partner and how it is expressed in this era "bae" was a really good term to use. I think looking through the lens of darwinism, an era based on relationships is an imteresing thought.
