Blog #4

For this blog, I am choosing the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson to describe the boy in the Man From Mars. I chose this song becuase, to Christina, he is kind of a thriller. He waits for her to finish class, and then will follow closely behind, like he is 'lurking in the dark' and he will just show up at her house, and give her random phone calls. Even though he is not 'evil,' he still is very mysterious, and an unknown creature to Chrintina. He makes her life more exciting in a way, and it gives her a thrill. I feel that this song really kind of describes how Christina precieves him. Attached is a youtube link of the Thriller video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xs9OQHpwDE&feature=related

Lol - now I'm imagining the Asian man as a shapeshifter... AWESOME! An Atwood and Stephen King collaboration... Love it!

Okay, seriously, good choice. I think the idea of how the situation "thrills" Christine is very important in this story, and the song is a great choice for bringing that idea into the light.
