The synopsis of this movie and plot reflects the intricacies of an act of indiscretion between a former student and a teacher.  Julianne Moore stars as Linda Sinclair a high school English teacher in a small town called Kingston, Pennsylvania.  Particular and choosy she finds it hard to find a similar mindset and mate with a personality similar and compatible to complement her own.  Michael Angarano stars as Jason Sherwood a former student of hers who returned to Kingston after failing as a playwright. Linda convinces Jason to run his play at the high school to enable more exposure and support his crushed confidence since the play is much too good to not have a chance to be produced.

After, Linda and Jason impulsively have a sexual interaction in a classroom on an office desk conflict and complications arise due to the untimely exposure after having a verbal clash in the public that was witnessed and filmed by a spectator.  Rumors and vicious speculation is viral and move fast over the campus which puts Linda in a position of sexual harassment, slander, stress, and humiliation.  After the Head Council gets a whiff of the situation, Linda is fired and discharged. Driven by emotional distress Linda’s erratic driving causes an accident and lands her in the emergency room for medical assistance by none other than Jason's dad Dr. Tom Sherwood who she admits to having had sex with his son (Jason).

Discovering the play has an expectancy to amass over $18,000 for ticket sales, the Headmaster reconsiders Linda's position and reinstates her with a request to have the ending of the play rewritten.  Jason refuses to rewrite the play and the consequential composing of the end falls to Linda which she does under stress, all is forgiven and Jason continues to write plays.

Later, Linda accepts an invitation to dinner with Jason's dad.

Propose Extra Credit to teacher and ask if you can do an oral presentation with students asking you questions to allow you to become used to speaking in front of a crowd. This will teach you how to be an orator and a great speaker one day.

The assignment is to watch the movie, answer the questions with emotional feeling and thought and write an essay of the possible consequences of living with the thought of yourself being caught up in hurting another human being so bad they

cannot on go and who commits suicide.  Can you live with yourself and the knowledge that everyone has judged you as killer who put the bullet in the gun but didn’t pull the trigger yourself but you are the prodder who egged and hounded them on until they could not take it anymore?  Would you feel indifferent and why?  What has happened to the moralistic thought of caring and why did everyone become uncaring of what the outside world thinks or feels about your being the catalyst in this sad scenario?


By doing so you will develop stimulative comprehension, interpretative comprehension, and thought comprehension. These are classified as starters and teaching sessions.

Stimulative Comprehension - Consist of stimuli that encourages thought patterns to emerge that facilitate understanding with more comprehension and continuous thought.

Interpretative Comprehension - Consist of taking a thought and becoming more analytical and interpretative of the intent whether clearly versed or hidden and obtaining the intent to keep on.

Thought Comprehension - is the last step in assimilation because it takes in account the stimuli and the reason (interpretative comprehension) and it will facilitate considerable change and expanded thought that allows more understanding and evolved thought patterns.
