Even the idolized US President Theodore Roosevelt had a firm belief the US has “room for but one language in this country and that is the English language”.

Representation of Women in Memoirs of a Geisha Analyzing through the early Hollywood films to the new ones‚ Asian women have usually been portrayed as either the “Dragon Lady” or the “Butterfly”. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha‚ by Rob Marshall‚ perfectly portrays both of the diverse roles of Asian American (Japanese) women in film. Chiyo/Sayuri is the protagonist of the film. She embodies a type of woman that can be described as reflexive‚ silent and elegant. She is also submissive‚ delicate‚ shy

Then he moves on to compare the poems first three lines to that of a painting‚ discussing the color composition
