Re: Historical Backgrounds and Personal Pursuits
Reflection 1. At the beginning, I liked the form of cross ocean interactive email. Considering the influence of time difference, Chinese and American students can check the reply online in their spare time, communicate with each other and discuss the comparison of films. The last two weeks of cross ...

Re: Historical Backgrounds and Personal Pursuits
Revised Essay About And the Spring Comes and Mona Lisa Smile, I think the pursuit of being true to ourselves is more in line with the themes of both films. Under different historical background, what will be the fate of the self-pursuing characters? What are the different pursuits of the two films? ...

Re: Mona Lisa Smile & The Spring Comes
Dear Zhang Peiyun, I think the idea of a class system already imposes restrictions on people and therefore I agree that it would definitely impact who is heard and who is ignored. Those in higher classes (the wealthy and powerful) tend to be more heard than those who are struggling. Why is this? Mo...

Re: Cultural Essay
Dear Zhang Peiyun, I am a Public Relations major and much of the writing involves writing that would be for things like the news or press release. They are more seen as articles versus formal essays. Journalistic writing is different in a way that it is more about story-telling and letting the audi...

Re: Historical Backgrounds and Personal Pursuits
Dear Zhang Peiyun, I appreciate your questions because it was also something that I noticed when reading a few peoples essays. I noticed that many American students mention the idea of feminist pursuit, whereas Chinese students focused more on personal freedom. I originally primarily felt that the ...

Re: Mona Lisa Smile & The Spring Comes
Dear Olivia At the end of the movie, the director gave Wang Cailing a dream. In her dream, she really went to the Central Opera House to sing. She was dressed in elegant costumes, standing in the center of the stage. There were no empty seats under the stage and the stage was resplendent. Like Wang ...

Re: Blooming of Women's Freedom: A Review of Mona Lisa Smile and And the Spring Comes
Dear Lin Art has nothing to do with utility. Art is just a way to enjoy life. When Mr. Hu wants to find Wang Cailing to fake marriage, just to cover up his life style that has always been rejected by the secular world, Wang Cailing said no, she said: "you are out of line with the secular world,...

Re: Cultural Essay
Hello, Sarah Wu Life and art can't find a balance because they are very clear. I personally think that only Mr. Hu is an artist in the whole story. Although Wang Cailing's voice is beautiful, she wants to settle down in Beijing with the power of music and achieve material abundance with the power of...

Re: Mona Lisa Smile & The Spring Comes
Dear Lin, They (women) must rely on the recognition of others to realize their self-worth. Society has laid down a lot of frameworks for women, so that women have to live the way they want. I liked what you said here about how women at the time needed recognition from others in order to have value ...

Re: Cultural Essay
Hello Peiyun, Thank you again for your response to my paper. We do use topic sentences at the beginning of paragraphs or transition sentences at the end to connect paragraphs. I am used to writing more journalistic papers which do not utilize them, so I will have to adjust my paper to fit an essay ...
