Mississippi Masala Analysis
Sorry to email you late about the question I came up for the leading discussion. I did not read your instructions carefully. I am doing the Mississippi Masala for this week. The question I came up for my leading discussion is “How did Mississippi Masala break one of the common stereotypes among Asian American women in films?” I came up with this question because one common stereotypes among Asian American women in films is being submissive. I believed that in the movie, the main character breaks that stereotype. I am truly sorry for telling you late. Thank you and sorry again.

    In the documentary film "The Color of Fear, "a group of men engaged in a candid discussion on racism.

    I believe the first question that was asked from the director was how they identified themselves racially. There were so many different responses, but most of the minority did not identify themselves as "Americans." What was surprising to me was that most of the men there were born in the United States so they are American Citizens. Yet, they still felt alienated from this country. I believe that the minority in this country will always be viewed as a foreigner because White Americans are the dominant culture in this society. For example, I am an American Citizen because I was conceived here in the bay area. Yet, people will ask me what country I am from. Furthermore, I was astonished of how important it is to grow up in a diverse committee such as the bay area. When I was living in Maryland I went to a school where my peer consisted of only Whites, Africans, and some Koreans. It was such a cultural shock for me because I grew up with such a diverse group of friends. The lunch breaks at school helped illustrate how each ethnicity formed their own clique and kept to themselves. Also, for the first time in my life I was the only "Asian" in my classes. I was viewed as an exotic and foreign creature because they would look at me with such curiosity. I came to the conclusion that their ignorance is due to the fact that they were never…

    Bend It Like Beckham Essay

    My major theme includes such topics as sexism, sexuality and the expectations put upon a certain gender according to religion or culture. Examples of sexism include when Jules’ mother, Paula, believes that Jules shouldn’t play soccer because she is a girl. Paula believes Jules should be more feminine. Jesminder’s mother thinks that Jess shouldn’t play soccer because according to their religion and culture girls should stay home and worry about marrying an Indian boy. If Jules and Jess were boys, it would be completely acceptable for them to play soccer. An example of a sexuality issue is when Paula thinks that Jules is a lesbian because she plays sport and wears masculine clothes. Paula is homophobic and makes ridiculous comments, like ‘there’s a reason why Sporty Spice is the only one without a fella!’ Jess’ Indian friend, Tony, is a homosexual but can’t tell his family because it’s against their religion and would put shame on his family. It’s upsetting that there is such a problem with sexuality. Because of her gender, Jess is expected to go to university, be able to cook traditional Indian food and marry a nice Indian boy. ‘What family would want a daughter-in-law who can run around kicking a football all day, but can’t make round chapattis?’ her mother asks. Jess is supposed to stay covered up and not ‘running around half naked in front of men.’ However, if Jess was a boy a lot of these pressures and dilemmas wouldn’t exist. Jules’ expectation is to be like all the other girls. We see this when Paula encourages Jules to buy girly bras instead of sports bras and tries to persuade her to be more feminine.…
