Parasocial Interactions

During the class discusion today, I found myself very interested by the media figure that everyone chose. I picked Eastwood because I find the way he directs to be the way that I would like my projects to turn out one day. Other people would pick something that I never would have thought they would. I remembered back to they day that we broke off into our own versions of semotic domains. We had sports and cooking and video games. As we went around the room I found myself thinking "oh this person will pick this type of person". But many people picked outside of their groups. I found myself learing more about people. Which goes along with the onion theroy. To really know someone you have to go deeper then just the outer layer. By listening more to who people feel "close" to you learn more about who they are.
