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

Hi! Douglas. I really appreciate your revised essay, which is quite logical and convincing, especially when you pointed out Katherine and Cailing's similar circumstances and different choices.

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

(REVISED) Both Katherine Watson and Wang Cailing were moving, from one place to another. What they yearned to achieve was rather the ascent in social status. I suppose that these mobility is worth thinking about. When we talk about physical mobility, we refer to it as the possibility of moving physi...

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

Hi, Spencer! I had read Jiaxin's comment, which gave me a new idea, and I suppose it to be interesting. Do you think the ending of Ms. Wang's story is encouraging or discouraging? The answer to this question might be the main divergence both between you and Jiaxin, and between you and me. I am also ...

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

Hi, Jiaxin! Thank you very much for your encouragement and advice. I am not very clear about what you mean by "theories". Are you expecting some academic theories concerning with social or physical mobility?

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

Dear Douglas, thank you very much for your comments! I am a little confused about what you mean by "takeaway"? Are you saying that these two topics are not the biggest difference reflected by the two cultures? I did realize that gender is a topic worth commenting, but since my topic is mob...

Re: 17 - Understanding and Achieving Success: A Comparative Review of Mona Lisa Smile and And the Spring Comes

Your analysis of And the Spring Comes is comprehensive and convincing, yet it seems that you put less emphasis on Mona Lisa Smile. I suppose it would be better if these two parts are balanced. Besides, It seems that you consider that Tsai-ling ended up accepting the ordinary life and learning to app...

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

I admire your essay very much! :o Your comments on the color schemes of the two movies inspired me, as I have hardly noticed this aspect (maybe in my subconscious, the dim color was only a result of undeveloped movie-making techniques), and your supporting ideas in the second paragraph convinced me ...

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

You gave a very detailed description of the two movies, which fit your topic validly. Still, I am confused :? about one of your points. You wrote that Ms. Wang was encouraged to grow as an artist, while I do not think so. On the opposite, she had to give up pursuing her art dream, at least according...

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

Beijing and New York, Wellesley College and Central Conservatory of Music, when these two pairs of names are listed, we can easily find the corresponding resemblance between each of them. They signify several of the supreme ideal places to go in their countries, physically and socially, in Mona Lisa...
