Literature:
 Today we discussed the running scene.  I asked how a movie director would film the scene.  I discussed the writing idea of exploding a moment.  This  is where the writer basically puts the story in slow motion and give lots of thoughts and/or flashbacks while the event is happening.  We determined the the actions slows down to allow us to dwell on Squeaky's thoughts.
