Progress Blog 10

So excited to find out I can do a voice thread as part of my final project. Voice thread is something I had never even heard of prior to this class, but its super simple to use and its a great tool that can truly assist in presentations and even just dictating notes as opposed to writing them down to prepare for a paper. For my final project I plan to dictate the interviews I did in LTGT and then summarize my findings. I think it’ll be a nice change to do it this way as opposed to your normal ten to fifteen page paper full of big words and things I have already written about ad nauseum in previous assignments. I am sure that my professor appreciates the creativity as well. I would imagine grading 30 ten to fifteen page papers get a little tedious after a while. Today I will begin my final part of my final piece of my ethnographic research project. I am stoked to be almost done but I truly have learned a lot this semester.

Season 7 is the final season, True Blood is over!!! This season is tying up all of the loose ends. I've said this before, I feel there are too many characters to focus on so I'm only going to talk about some of my favorite shocking moments. There is a real sense of danger this season, main characters are dying left and right. Since small towns are being wiped out by the Hep V vamps, the humans and vampires have to work together to protect each other and fight the Hep V infected vampires. "For every human a vampire; for every vampire a human." The Hep V vampires attacked the humans and vampires at the mixer at Bellefleur's bar. Tara ended up getting killed while trying to protect Lettie Mae. Sookie and Alcide were still together but he ended up dead trying to protect her. Pam was searching for Eric. Eric went "missing"..he was burning on top of a mountain last season but now he's been "found." When he found out that drinking from Sarah Newlin is the cure for the Hep V virus, he went on a hunt. Hoyt and Jessica's wedding very sweet, although not legal. Now to the surprise of all surprises! The entire season Bill has been on the edge of death, he was infected with Hep V by Sookie. Bill asks her to help him die. Bill started to get warm and after a while Sookie could hear his thoughts. After she read his mind at the wedding, I thought that Sookie was going to hit Bill with her last fairy ball to make him human and they would live happily ever after as humans together..but oh no! Sookie killed Bill! After they said their final goodbyes, she kneeled over Bill while he was in his coffin and staked him (Bill had to help her). I wasn't Team Bill but I still felt a bit sad, he sacrificed  himself in hopes that Sookie could have a better life without him. Now fast forward a few years later...Eric and Pam are running a multi-billion dollar corporation called New Blood. Its Thanksgiving and Sookie is hosting a party at her house. We see Sookie is pregnant and married (we don't see who the lucky guy is), Jason is married to Brigette and they have with three kids, and Jessica, Hoyt, Sam, Lafayette, James and a few others are there as well.
