    Tensions erupt like a volcano when the main characters, Izzy and her mother, don’t “see eye to eye” in Jennifer Cervantes’ excerpt from Tortilla Sun (Cervantes 21). Starting in the tile-flecked kitchen first thing in the morning and ending in Izzy’s dungeon-like bedroom moments later, the text lets us as readers eavesdrop on a conversation about moving that boils over rather quickly. When all is said and done, parent and child are left separated by a closed door (as well as vastly different perspectives on their journeys away from home).

    Ratatouille is a 2007 American film produced by Pixar that follows the journey of Remy, a young rat that aspires to be a chef, and his garbage boy turned chef friend Linguini. The whole film summarized into a sentence is basically that Remy’s dream of being a chef and Linguini 's dream of being a success is only possible in the end with the help of the other one, emphasizing the importance of collaboration. However the important take away is not this heartwarming lesson, but rather the way that global communities stereotype those with a standard American accent, such as the one used by both Remy and Linguini.
