week two about freaks

The movie that we watched today dealt witha different way of looking at freaks. It showed how even within the "freak" world there are freaks among the freaks and how the ones who seemed normal in the circus didn't want to be like the other people that they considered freaks. It also shows how people are afraid of freaks just like the world today is scared of people who seem different from the norm. The film also showed that the circus was like its own little community where they all looked out for eachother. This would relate to today's world because we form little groups of people who have more in common with ourselves and we stick up for eachother and to other people we may seem like freaks just because we may be different from them. Another part of the movie that also relates to today's world was at the end of the movie how the freaks started to act how the "normal" people in the circus treated them during the whole movie. This is relevant to today's world because if you treat someone one way because they are different they will eventually live up to how you treat them because they are so used to being treated that way.
