  7. Journaling Describe the two societies being depicted (the bushmen and the “normal” one). Describe them in detail by comparison/contrast. Why do you think the director of the movie has given the power of the narrator’s voice to the bushmen society? Why would the director give the “sped-up action” sequences to the “regular” society?

  15. Journaling The scientist tries hard to make a good impression but he fails pretty badly. Have you ever tried to do what was right and nothing seemed to work? What about the “suave” safari guide’s character? Have you ever met someone who was so rude and full of themselves? Describe. The bushman gets in trouble and locked away for a simple misunderstanding. But he can’t speak the language to explain his ways/culture. Why was it important that Jesus come to learn our language and culture?
