What is the text about? How do we know?
The text Walk The Line is about a man who composes songs about his life and performs them in front of many people. We can know this because, from the day he went to the radio station until the duration of the film, he composes and sing songs for the crowd. The reason for this is to help show his compassion for music which also enables him to achieve his goal.
What kind of language is used in the text?
The Language used in Walk The Line is a mix between everyday language, some old English language, and American slang. For instance when June carter said Y'all can't walk no line? Y'all can't walk no line. The word y'all originated from southern America in the early nineteenth century. It is used as a contraction for the word you all. I believe they used these kinds of language to let the audience know that the movie's setting was made during the year 1993.
What does the author of this text want us to know?
The author of Walk The Line wants us to know that what we always have a decision. These decisions, however, can make a relationship weaker. We can see this on the scene where Johnny cash returned home after his tour with June carter. As soon as he entered the house, his wife said: "John, I have a casserole in the oven and your sister in the kitchen, and I don't wanna talk about the tour". The author did this to let us know that our family is much more important than anything else, this is why we have to balance everything.
How did it go? It went quite well in my opinion.

ReplyDelete'Walk the line'... good job. My wife Lorraine is a Johnny cash fan, and we saw a stage show in ChCh a couple of weeks ago featuring his music. How did you 'feel' after you had finished watching the movie, and why? Do you think this is what the Director wanted as a reaction to the movie?
Keep up the great work...
