Here lies my responses to the guided reading questions...
One scene that got to me the most was the absolute praise and honor the FSU football player, Jameis Winston, received from everyone. It just blew my mind how close minded everyone seemed to the real problem that was going on. It made me so angry that everyone was pushing away this disgusting charge that was not given as much light as his football career. I was so livid when the sports reporters were more worried about his position on receiving certain sports awards than this girl's feelings. This whole scene dealing with the FSU scandal made me the most angry. What really surprised me most about this documentary was how corrupted and so conceded the authorities and workers of the universities were. I couldn't believe how inconsiderate the school board was to try and protect their ASSets.
After watching this film, all I felt was complete rage towards college and how deeply corrupted school administrators are in order to make sure they're school's reputation is perfect. I didn't realize how money hungry school were; it almost seemed like they were desperate for alumni to hand over their money, even though college is what drives people into debt. Some problematic concepts from the film are the 'brush under the rug' idea schools use for sexual assault cases, what the two women are doing now since the documentary to help fight the Title IX complaints, the problems with fraternities, and the emotional turmoil the victims suffer through when trying to receive help with their cases.
