Who owns language was so powerful. After the documentary, I was trying to categorize the genre. At first I thought it was personal narrative, but since it evoloved through the the methodology of interview, we came up with emerging narrative? Two points in the film were so fascinating for me: first, was the Amish woman. I have been intrigued by the Amish since I started driving to my grandmother's house (from the Cleveland airport). I would find myself driving out of the way just to get a glimpse of the Amish community and satisy my curiosity. I regularly think about an Amish homestay. How exciting to learn there is an Amish woman in our program. The second point of intrigue for me was learning about Ladino. How did I live in Istanbul for a year and never hear anything about the language?
Watching the film reconfirms to me that I will have to do something researchwise which is related to narrative as it will hold my interest for an extended period.
