2.  What is one event, character, or plot element that is similar to a modern text/film? Explain.

The impatient/ younger waiter reminds me of Massie from the series The Clique. She can never wait on anyone, and it is always about her. Her friends are just like her, while a new comer enters their group, they have gotten a whole lot meaner and bossier. Just like in the story, he yells at the old death man to go home.

VIDEOS.

I thought that the café was going to be bigger and brighter. It didn't stand out to me as much as I thought it would. I feel like the screen shots are very long, but I like it, because I get to really pay attention to them. I think that they kept it like that because they wanted them to make sure they get a good look at the outside. The Young Waiter wasn't what I thought he was going to be either. I thought he would be better looking, but that is just my opinion. The other to people in this film are pretty much what I thought they would be. When I read the paper, it was pretty much the same thing as the video, but I just got to see how they really sounded, and how they what there expressions were. 

Although I found those things, I thought that the beginning music was a sad type, well that’s at least what I thought. It makes me get in a sad mood, I feel really bad for the old man, and I feel like the Middle Aged Waiter feels bad too. The lighting is reminds me of daytime, and not 2 o’clock in the morning. The lighting towards the end is depressing. The lighting in the other café kind of scares me, but it is much bigger, and it isn't as depressing. The voice over is low and sad.
