Re: 36 - Personal Growth Across Cultures: And the Spring Comes and Mona Lisa Smile

Hi You, I agree with your point and don't worry about the response time. I do agree that there's a sense of hopelessness and despair, probably caused by his acceptance of his failure to achieve his goals.

Re: 22- Ism in movie: East and West

Hi You,
The title makes a lot more sense now! It is dangerous though because a lot of English words end in -ism. I really like the point of your essay and even plan to incorporate the difference between societal and person goals in my own essay.

Hi Qiulan, I thought your contrasting between the two films was very good. Though you write otherwise, I do believe that Cailing being a female has impacts into her success as an artist. In the movie, the male is ridiculed for his art--Western ballet. However, Cailing is celebrated for her art; she ...

Re: 22- Ism in movie: East and West

I thought your analysis was quite insightful. Your comparison was fresh and creative, and I enjoyed reading it. I agreed with the main idea of your essay, but I think it could be conveyed in stronger manner. The argument as I understand it was that the result of trying to align ones goals with the s...
