- Read the New York Times article on “It’s a Wonderful Life” - The worst commercial of all time is when a little kid gets kidnapped and it is advertising batteries - Watched the scene where George loses his temper on his family on Christmas Eve - Watched the scene when George realizes he’s back to his normal life. (Yaaaaaaaay!) - Themes: self-worth, selfishness/selflessness, obligation, growing up (dreams dying) - Watched the scene where George goes to Mary’s house (Mary is very happy and prepared)
