We are watching one of the coolest movies ever made called East of Eden. It is a Biblical Allegory to the story of Cain and Abel. The modern story follows two brothers as they seek approval of their father. The movie is based on a novel by John Steinbeck, one of America's most famous and most accessible authors. His stories are so easy to read, but offer great insights into the human race.

The movie stars James Dean in his final role. He died shortly after making the picture and he is the first person to win an Academy Award posthumously. Although the movie has some quirks that show its age, it is overall very entertaining if we all have an open mind.

Have a great weekend! Don't forget your project!
