Class Notes 5/24 (recorded by Conner Gomer):

We watched Mr. Donnelly’s favorite scene about Mrs. Agee

“We usually likes to help out our drug dealers” – Mr. Donnely on why the drug dealers give Arthur money to buy new clothes

Instances in the movie where things are paired back to back on purpose: - Mrs. Agee gets her nursing degree and no one is there-the basketball game is filled with fans - From the nike basketball camp to Arthur buying nike clothes - Bus scenes

Mr. Donnelly is an awesome dunker, and Arthur is not as good as him at dunking

Mr. Donnelly thinks ball hogs should be shot.

Watch scene where the Financial assistant at St. Joe’s talks to Mr. and Mrs. Agee.

Watch scene where Arthurs dad buys drugs in front of him

Scene where Bo faces Arthur in basketball The escalation of competitiveness where Bo loses to Arthur in basketball
