I really enjoyed the film Arranged. i thought that it was a great introduction to their topic, East mets West. I really liked how these two women met and interacted with eachother. i thought that the principal at the school was a great example of western culture and how we sometimes look at the East. i liked how one of the women left her house beause her mom was driving her crazy about her arranged marriage. i thought that it was great how she went to her cousins house and asked her what she thought. the cousin could not live in her house anymore because of her family, so she went of and lived the way she wanted to. she became westernized, wearing what she watned, saying what she wanted, and lived the way she watned. She then invited her cousin to a party to have her see what it was like. i new that she was going to feel awkward and out of place and unconfortable. i think that this was a wake up call for her that life at home is not all bad. i think that she appreciated her culutre more because of the party.
i loved the activity that the two women did in their class about allowing and knowing others differences and to be accepting of them. i believe that this shows students not to judge because you are different. i really enjoyed this film! great Start GROUP!!
