Jane Goodall, the famous primate expert, was speaking on campus on the night of our class, which made parking tough for my students. A couple of them arrived late and one of them messaged me to say that, ultimately, she gave up and went home without getting to class. So there was that plus Fox Day plus the night with the loud music right outside our window. Sometimes, it's been like trying to hold class on a traffic island during rush hour. Yet, we persevered and even managed to figure out a few things about The Purple Rose of Cairo, our final film of the semester. Maybe we should have watched Gorillas in the Mist.
