 Today in class we finished reading the rest of “Two Kinds” by Amy tan. The story was still continuing its message of the mother and daughter rocky relationship. It spoke about how the mother would compare her daughter to her cousin and try to get her daughter to be better than her cousin. The mother put tons of pressure on the daughter about playing the piano. One night the daughter had to perform the piano and she did horribly, the mother was embarrassed and disappointed in her and that caused an argument to where the daughter shouted at her about her past in china where she lost all her kids by death. Their relationship became even more broken in estranged. Until on her birthday her mother gave her back her piano as a peace offering but soon later died. By the end of the story the mother had missed playing piano and missed her mother, but she was well aware of the person that she wanted to be and so she became it. Today I learned that having a good relationship with your parent is important and that parents only want the best for you, so when they push us to be someone great it’s for the best. Overall, my day was great today class was great and felt good about all my class work assignments today.

Consider a film that portrays your culture. Reflect on how accurately your culture is represented and the potential impacts of this portrayal.

 Prompt Response: A film that portrays my culture is the Pixar movie “Soul”, this movies portrays aspects of black African American culture. This film captures the vibrancy of black culture through its depiction jazz, barbershop culture and community life in New York. Soul introduces global audiences to the richness of black culture in a way that is both respectful and celebratory.  Summary: Today was an easy class. Today our task was to present our project on cultural and their stereotypes negative and positive. As I watched everyone’s presentation I learned a lot about the dangers of a single story.

Films and tv shows can impact the way we all perceive each other. We ended the class period we completing our blog posts.  Reflection: Today I learned how significant the dangers of a...
