Looking back

As everything is said in the previous posts I think I will emphasize the things that went fairly well. I dont want to contradict the fact that we should have practised before hand, but I think enough has been said about that.
First I want to bring forward the fact that the question: "why did people wanted a jack the ripper?" was the main purpose of our presentation. That we didn't only speak about certain suspects but wanted to emphasize the wide scope of suspects and the question why they were suspects. Foreigners were popular suspects because the Londoners didn;t know their culture, language and religion. What people don't know is often considered to be weird and frightening. The most ridiculous suspects were popular because some of them were different, weird or not normal according to what was accepted as normal in 1880. The famous suspects were famous and so the Londoners could not identify with them, the were different but in a different area.
Second,we all tried to not read our part from paper. That is always harrowing, but still it makes a presentation far more clear then just reading it from a paper. And accept for not rehearsing we had two meetings for 2 hours and our meetings during the classes. So our preparation was good. We all new from eachother what we were going to do and say. So I think well done for all of us. I really enjoyed working with you guys!
Have a great christmas!!
