Welcome!
This is the blog of The Renaissance Charter School's senior elective class, "Delving Into Documentaries." This blog was put together in the spring semester. In the fall semester, we watched Food, Inc.; Forks Over Knives; GasLand; and An Inconvenient Truth. Students wrote reflection papers, journal entries, and essays. Instead of these assignments, this semester, students will write on this blog. After each film, they will post a review/critique. Each week, they will post a response to a controversial question related to the film we are currently studying. Visit our Wiki to learn more!

Reflection #4: Hoop Dreams
In Hoop Dreams, the scene where Arthur was playing with his father was a very personal scene because it showed their connection and love for basketball. You can see that Arthur's dad taught him well. Another scene, where Arthur is kissing and talking to his mom was very emotional and relatable. All she wanted was for him to follow his dreams and get into a great college. I could connect with this scene because as a senior in high school, it's good to get into a college of your choice. The last scene that stood out for me was when Arthur's coach kept telling him to do better and better so he can be someone in life. He was very inspirational and motivating person for Arthur.
