Hey there kiddos –

Here is a reposting of the themes that we have been looking at in our discussions relating to THE QUEEN and RANSOM – we can start sorting out our initial responses to your viewing of THE QUEEN into the relevant themes:

• LEADERSHIP

• FAMILY vs. SOCIETAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• TRADITION & CHANGE

• PERSONAL JOURNEYS

NB – some incidents/events/comments may fit into more than 1 theme (this is not a bad thing – they may be used as a segue from one idea to the next)

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE OVERARCHING CONCEPT THAT WE WILL BE EXPLORING IN OUR STUDIES OF THE QUEEN AND RANSOM IS HOW INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS REACT TO/BEHAVE IN TIMES OF CRISIS

Enjoy,

BWR
