Jeremiah Johnson : Nation Building

At first i think this movie is a little bored for me because it's an action movie and i've no idea why the man in this story have to eat human organs which also scary me a lot but it has many good ideas and knowledges for me especially about American culture.

Before hand, i have learnt that in the past American people lived with nature and their folk is very simple. They find their foods to eat and cook them immediately. The people in that time were called Indian, their culture is very interested, their society in that time is not complex like present, there were one people who acted as the leader and ruled that society, people there also respect each others. Moreover; i also perceived the love of mother which she gave to her child, she might taught her child very good because children in that period have high responsibility, they worked sine they were very young to help their father. Nonetheless; she also take care of her husband very well.

In that period, i think the dangerouses are all around like tigers, wolves. People have to be ready to fight almost every time, they also have to fight to protect their territory.

This was a very good start for blogging in this class. As you watch the movies, note the things you see that relate to the period of the movie. Discuss what you liked and what you did not like about the movie.

Your comments concerning American culture as portrayed in the movie was exactly what this class is all about. Go into some detail as to what the cultural aspect meant and how it applies today if it still does.

Great way to start blogging. Keep it up.
