External reading, Class to Class

I read excerpts from a book entitled Baroque New Worlds for another class this semester that highlighted similar themes that i saw in many of the films we viewed in class. The people of the Baroque period were struggling to understand their place in the world during a time of change in the Church and technology. Similarly, many of the characters in the films we watched attempt to see how they fit in to the bigger picture of their film. My other modern language course also focused on journeys of transformation for the main characters as they try to fit in to society. It was incredibly interesting to see how my courses in different subjects all related to the same theme.
