Small hands

I'm going to talk about Keaton Henson's, 'Small Hands' for a second. That short was my favorite of the tragedies we watched. Even though it was just a bunch of puppets and rag dolls, it almost brought me to tears as I experienced the video. It resonated so well with me since I've lost people very dear and close to me and we couldn't say good-bye. Death of a family member or friend is excruciatingly painful. It isn't easy to get on with your life sometimes. People as a whole can relate to these inanimate stuffed animals since it has a plot that everyone has been through. Keaton made it personal to himself and what he was going through and therefore, made it personal to us as well. Maybe it was relatable to everyone in the room, but for me it was personal and it felt as if it was directed only toward me to help lift my spirit from all the grief I've felt lately.  'Small hands' means a lot to me now and I appreciate that you showed it in class, Professor Leeper.
