Response to Lovepreet Kaur
Lovepreet, your observation of the film was very comprehensive. Clearly, your focus was on the characters and thematic issues being explained. I agree with you that the genre of the film is about racial issues and crime. There are also specific symbolic comparisons where people are given animal names.
Response to Video on Voting in Indiana
The video is a description of the process and information useful for people who want to register as voters. Since the campaign season is peaking, the video offers valuable information that Indiana residents can follow to register successfully. Several options can be used, including online registration or in-person at the voter registration office. I find this video very informative and beneficial because it offers pertinent information for votes to follow.
