Period 8

Today in class we started off by looking at the new blog schedule and saw that this marking period was going to be different in the way that instead of blogging in alphabetical order, we signed up for the days we wanted After Mr.Rivers explained the blogs and what was expected of us for the rest of the year, we all got started on working on our notecards for the research paper. For the notecard formative We need to have 5-10 cards with quotes and evidence from our documentary  and 3+ from outside databases.  

My documentary is “The US vs John Lennon” and the film is about John Lennon's transformation from a clean cut  Beatle to an “extreme” activist who in some people’s eyes was push out and bullied by the United States’ government. One quote that i found was “. The fingerprint card from his 1976 U.S. citizenship application was being displayed when the FBI nabbed it. Lennon,..was investigated by the FBI for anti-Vietnam war activities, but Peter Siegel, running the auction, confessed to bewilderment. 'This is not a national threat,' he said. But the FBI, 30 years after Lennon's death, isn't convinced.”. This quote shows how far the government will go to protect their image against those they feel are a threat to what they stand for.
