= Prof. Jung's Class =

Please, add your name on the left column and write down the comments on the movie "Proof" Robert shows his mental instabilitiy, he doesn`t worry about the weather though it`s extremely cold ||= I think she has the same talent for Math ,she shows some tendency to instability but in my opinon,it is the result of taking care of her mentally ill father ||= I think Hal likes Catherine but at the same time he`s extremely interested in her father`s work.That could enhance his works. ||= When you "prove yourself" you prove your abilities to do something and when you prove a theory you test it in order to show if it works or not ||= I think Catherine`s notebook symbolize a treasure and perhaps she kept it kept because it`s the proof her father was looking for during a long time ||= Yes, it gives more details about Robert`s mental illness ( when he is outside in the snow), how Catherine is concerned about his health and at the end she seems to be the proof `s authorship ||
 * = **Name** ||= **Which major non-verbal features provide the audience a clear description of the 2 sisters' different personalities?** ||= **Scenes not included in the book: How do you think they contribute to the undertanding of the main character (Catherine)?** ||= **Scene where Robert is outside in the cold: What's Catherine's reaction when she sees him? How do you think he feels?** ||= **What evidence do we have to believe that Catherine is like her dad? In what ways do you think she IS and ISN'T like her father?** ||= **Why do you think Hal is interested in Catherine?** ||= **What's the difference between "proving yourself" and "proving a theory"?** ||= **What could be Catherine's notebook symbolyzing in her life? Why did she keep it locked?** ||= **Did you gain any insights from the movie that you didn't from the play?** ||
 * = Ma.Fabiana ||=  ||=   ||=   ||=   ||=   ||=   ||=   ||= yes, I get more insights from the movie. The play also has its "magic", especially when the characters focus on the authorship of the proof. ||
 * = Claudia Stabio ||= One of the mayor non verbal feature could be the way the two sisters were dressed.Catherine more casual and Claire more sofisticated. ||= They give more details about how Catherine felt about her father `s illness ||= Catherine seems very worried about her father.
