I thought I was just going to be lectured at, but I truly got into the information. I tried to imagine myself in the midst of my country's struggle for creative independence, and drew a greater appreciation for the struggling Czechs. While they were blacklisted, publicly embarrassed, and other cruel punishments by an pppressive foreign government, they never lost hope for the future. While they were afraid to stand up, many did and thus inspired others to do the same. Eventually, their persistence prevailed, and they were granted freedom. As Antonio said above, I was inspired by those Czechs who stood up for what they believed in in the midst of an international crisis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17694791850522660396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-24349052697662202242015-08-20T22:59:38.387-05:002015-08-20T22:59:38.387-05:00Today's class was very interseting.

Entering, I expected to listen to mundane presentations about random works of literature and film that I have never heard of yet are known to be important works of literature at the times. Instead I found myself learning fascinating information about subtle protest and rebellion that artists, writers, and producers pushed through their works. I love the idea of filmakers and writers importing criticism and rebellion into their works and then publishing them illegally. I'm not sure if I'm more attracted to the idea of protesting against the state or simply one standing up for what they belleive in regardless of the consequences.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784920957559623538noreply@blogger.com
