    Mirta Ojio’s book Hunting Season, Immigration and Murder in an All-American Town is based on a true story of an immigrant’s murder that turned a small American town on Long Island village of Patchogue into a war zone for immigration rights. In this critical reflection paper, I will discuss and analyze three key issues or themes that were represented in the Hunting Season and elaborate how these concepts connect with those of Governing Immigration through Crime by Dowling and Inda. The first concept is that of the Membership Theory, a theory which “limits individual rights and privileges to the members of a social contract between the government and the people” (Dowling & Inda,2013). The Membership theory often marks out boundaries of who is an accepted member of society and who isn’t, which was demonstrated in Hunting Season when Marcelo Lucero traveled from Ecuador to Long Island.…

    In her book, The Hunting Season: Immigration and Murder in an All-American Town, Mitra Ojito describes in detail the story of the murder of Marcelo Lucero, who was murdered after being cornered by a group of teenage boys in a small town in New York. Starting with the title itself and continuing throughout the entire book, Ojito employs comparison and contrast to establish characters, set the tone, and present every side of this terrible situation. Though the situation perhaps begs for a scapegoat, for a villain, someone to place blame on and dismiss in order to avoid digging deeper, Ojito refuses this option and instead commits, mainly through the use of juxtaposition, to a truthful examining of the years of hatred, misconceptions, and opposing…

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople Film Taika Waititi ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is about a young troubled adolescent boy, named Ricky. After years of being thrown around countless foster homes at the age of 13 years old, Ricky feels he has found himself a stable family environment. But with a disturbance in the family and his backyard being hundreds of miles worth of native bush, troubles arise and he finds himself running from authorities, as they are on a manhunt after suspecting Ricky has been kidnapped. Two main themes which stood out to me as a Maori viewer living between my two parents homes were how stereotypical barriers create an image for people in today’s society and how ‘family’ influence a child’s development growing up. I felt close to Ricky as he is the perfect portrayal of a young Maori boy..…
