Six Feet Under Made Me Cry
In the final episode of the show, Claire drives out to New York in a brand new Prius as the deaths of each of her family members plays out between shots of the Southwestern desert highway. It was actually really well done in the scope of the whole season, which has seemed trite and cheesy at times. Why did I cry? Because it occurred to me that life is big and people die - there's really no other reason. The season took a turn for the gory and scary in the last few episodes after Nate dies (spoiler alert!) and after watching it, I felt anxious and alone. Leave it to an HBO series to make you wonder if there's an afterlife, or whether it is "a dreamless sleep" as Nate says to Brenda in one of her daydreams.
I'm going to be teaching highschoolers and a family member suggested I brush up on my grammar. So, if you out there reading this find a grammatical error, feel free to bust my balls on it. I don't feel like reading another grammar help book on top of "Teaching for Dummies."
