Re: 28 - Women’s Social Expectations

Reflection: 1)What were your expectations for the border-crossing activity? Are your expectations met? Why or why not? When first hearing about the border-crossing activity, I had no expectations about it because I did not want to get to stressed over the assignment. Although upon looking over and c...

Re: 28 - Women’s Social Expectations

Culture, no matter where in the world, has played a principal role in creating the inaccurate conventional images that plague society even to the modern day. These stereotypes are essentially only recognized through the negative attributes that are sometimes portrayed from a select few people within...

Re: 28 - Women’s Social Expectations

Hi Yuanping, Your take on the characters and their importance on each movie was really interesting to read about. I never closely looked at Wang’s father, so to read your description about his role made me question how little I looked at the other characters. However, for Mona Lisa’s Smile I think J...

Re: 27 - Dream or Reality

Hi Yuanping, After reading your thoughts on my question, I have to admit that you answered it in a way that I could not have. I completely agree with your interpretation of it and it was really profound in my opinion. The way in which you described those sayings “带着镣铐跳舞” and “叶落归根” helped me see a d...

Re: 28 - Women’s Social Expectations

Hi Yuanping, I want to thank you for pointing out my logical fallacies because your comments truly do help improve the message of my paper. While I was watching And The Spring Comes I believe I saw the movie as how I wanted to see it so that it would fit within the topic of society’s expected behavi...

Re: 28 - Women’s Social Expectations

Hey Yuping, Thank you for your many compliments on my paper. I honestly feel that you understood what I was trying to portray, even though some of my sentences were incorrectly worded.

Re: 26 - A Reflection on the Films Mona Lisa’s Smile and And the Spring Comes

Hey Yuping, In my opinion I really do like your paper and the logic you portrayed through it, so you shouldn’t be too hard on your writing. For your comment about making the comparison between the two cultures, I think you could make a paragraph in the beginning of your essay to introduction your in...

Re: 28 - Women’s Social Expectations

Hi Yuanping, Sorry for responding so late to your reply but I want to thank you for your opinions on my paper. I completely understand why you thought I should add more specific examples from the movies. When I was originally writing the paper, I didn’t want to give details in case the reader didn’t...

Re: 26 - A Reflection on the Films Mona Lisa’s Smile and And the Spring Comes

Hi Yuping, I first want to start off by saying that I am sorry for not commenting till now. As for your essay, I was truly impressed with how you saw the struggle that each country was going through, in terms of social change. There definitely was a clear divide between the economic lifestyles portr...
