The most frustrating part for me when reading the Corleone Chronicles is the language and the difficult sentence structure of the essay. It was a very academic take on the movie The Godfather and it was interesting as to how it was presented. However, using a paraphrase from it and placing it into my journal was difficult because I could not find a suitable place to put it, and I wasn't sure if what I picked even aided the my thoughts on originality. When I did place it in, it was an interesting thought I summarized from view a few pages of the Corleone Chronicles, and it probably helped the journal.
My process for using the paraphrase was to find a way to make it sound as though The Godfather was an original piece and supported my idea that the majority of movies are original in their way of presentation and the ideas they used to make it happen. The views I used accentuated it well. The paraphrase I did for the Corleone Chronicles was about how The Godfather was original, specifically with its take on the gangster genre and how it perceived family values. To me, the Godfather was original in its usage of Family as something more than a group of people who simply care for the other. In the Godfather, it was an establishment, an ideal that accentuated the foundation of how they lived, interacted with others, and protected each other. Families portrayed in film are never as deep as that, which is why it was original in many regards at the time. In the film, the Corleone family was as one in a lot of instances, and I felt that in the Corleone Chronicles, which I managed to place a paraphrase of inside pertaining to that specific circumstance.
