Re: 5 - Women Empowerment and Personal Growth from China to Massachusetts

1) What were your expectations for the border-crossing activity? Are your expectations met? Why or why not? a. At first I was not sure how the NJU student’s English skills would be, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Most of the writing was clear and concise. Overall, this activity exceeded my exp...

Re: 5 - Women Empowerment and Personal Growth from China to Massachusetts

(REVISED) There are many differences between the two movies And the Spring Comes and Mona Lisa Smile. For example, the first movie is set in a town near Baotou, China, while the latter takes place at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. The drastically different settings in each movie result in dissi...

Re: 5 - Women Empowerment and Personal Growth from China to Massachusetts

Thank you guys for pointing that out about Ms. Wang. I suppose I just misinterpreted it when I watched for the first time. Also, it is interesting to think about if the ending for Ms. Wang is encouraging or discouraging. I will definitely add that to my final paper when I revise.

Re: 6 - Ambition and Perception in And the Spring Comes and Mona Lisa Smile

This is a solid essay and I agree with Jiaxin that if flows well. You did a good job of establishing the focus of the essay by mentioning the different types of conflicts in the first paragraph. It seems that you have a pretty good grasp on the plots of each movie and I liked how you pointed out the...

Re: 16 - Diverse Social and Physical Mobility in Mona Lisa Smile and The Spring Comes

I think you have a fairly strong essay here. The introduction is clear and concise and there is evidence of a thesis statement. One thing I wish you did differently is explain what you mean by social and physical mobility. It would be helpful for the readers if you defined these two phrases before m...
