This afternoon, Aiden and I researched information about his favorite movie, 'Lord of the Rings.' He knew it was a sequel to 'The Hobbit,' and was familiar with the lead actress in it, Miranda Otto, who played Éowyn in the original movie. We discussed and analyzed her response to the question about why she didn't watch herself in the one of the movies in its trilogy, 'Rings of Power,' when she was quoted as stating, "It’s a funny thing for me because the experience for me was so special that it kind of sits contained for me in that moment." We interpreted Otto's quote as her desire to keep, or preserve, the experience in its purest form. Aiden loves the movie and listened to it in its audio book version. Aiden spent part of today's fun Friday class cordially inviting his friends, teachers, and staff to listen to his speech about the Renaissance. I am looking forward to hearing it as well!
