Mute Movie

Hi, my name is Andrea Moseres and I am the producer/actor/editor of the mute movie you see below..
I decided to make something fun for homework, because I do not like getting bored and the work is better when you give it your dedication than when you do it just because. The name a mute movie is due to that the other day we were in class and Mr. Tangen said that is ok to include videos as long as you write so instead of talking I write. I found out you can do video essay’s I do not really know how to, but if you can do video essay why not do a video blog. I am presenting chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11. Which is the biggest homework yet but here I go.
Chapter 8 tells us about Cunegonde’s story, I did not really find anything funny but more of absurdity or hyperbole. “A Bulgar captain came in. He noticed that I was bleeding and that the soldier made no attempt to move. This lack of respect for an officer so enraged the captain that he slew the brute across my body.” (Candide pg. 41) it is a lack of respect to not attend to a wound but it is okay to kill an entire family, this part gave me the creeps I realized Voltaire really means what he says. The funniest part of the book yet is, when after Candide killed the Jew and the inquisitor he and Cunegonde go to the old woman for advice. She tells them that they have to flee to Cadiz and all of a sudden, she says, “the weather could not be finer, and we shall enjoy traveling in the cool of the night.”(Candide pg 46) excuse me, I do not know If heard well but you are criminals you should be running, and you are talking about the weather which is the most common small talk. Do you even have time for a small talk? Noo.. you don’t run away! It was funny..
When I got to chapter ten, I saw that Cunegonde and Candide are just kids. They complain about everything, the old women finally acts like a mom and tells them to shut up! However, it was about time, and this is ironic because it contradicts all that Pangloss had to say about optimistic, they are turning in to suicidal. “but I have been so terribly unfortunate in my affairs, that I have lost almost all hope.” The way you both complain!” exclaimed the old women.” (Candide pg49)
I could not find a better way to do homework, and Candide is a very satirical book that I am enjoying so I wanted everybody to see how if the book can be satirical and fun why can’t the blogs be as fun as reading a book.
There are no credits but to me because my dearest brother or mother or father or maid did not want help me in the production of the video.
