    Family Identity In Mamele

    • 1065 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Joseph Green and Konrad Tom's film Mamele depicts a vastly different cultural and family dynamic in a different setting than the dynamic found in traditional Jewish shtetls. Whether it be incorporating Jewish holidays or traditional family roles, producers actively depicted Jewish cultural roots into their films prior to Mamele in 1939. In Mamele, a daughter named Chavchi takes on many household responsibilities after the death of her mother and is consequently given the nickname "mamele," or little mother. The family is nontraditional as a result, as Chavchi picks up familial responsibility due to the lack of care and initiative from a drunkard and gambling-addicted father. In addition to an unconventional father figure, Chavchi's many siblings…

    There is a line in the musical Spamalot where Sir Robin sings to King Arthur; “In any great adventure, if you don 't want to lose ... you won 't succeed on Broadway if you don 't have any Jews!" (PBS, Broadway Musicals). If you can look past the sweeping generalization, Sir Robin’s surprising lyric turns out to be very true about musicals. Historians have recognized that Jewish immigrant culture heavily influenced the content of musical theatre when it was popularized in America during the early twentieth century. But in turn, it was the sociopolitical and racial climate of the 20th century that inspired the creative and thematic content of Jewish productions as well.…

    I have recently read your publicize article “Hip Hop Planet” in this article, McBride was trying to make his audience understand about hip hop and how it influences us. Mr.McBride I understand what you're trying to explain to the readers so they understand hip hop a little more but i’m going to have to find out more about this on this. I think that you could’ve been more persuasive towards the readers and been more opinionated because your writing what you had thought about hip hop and how it influences our planet. Also McBride needed to be more happy about what he was writing instead of mad or whatever he was. I believe Mr.McBride wants us to know how to express ourselves in ways we would’ve never known about us.…

    The Mennonite community of East Village has separated themselves from the outside world to keep their traditions and beliefs strict for its members and keep outsiders from interfering.

    The language of war is commonly used by American culture nowadays in order to figuratively express ideas. In the essay “Fighting Words: The War Over Language,” Jon Hooten argues that integrating the language of war in a metaphorical sense will cause negative impacts in the actual world. When readers realize how common the language of war is in everyday language, they must wonder if Hooten’s statement that American culture has learned to casually use the language of war applies to them as well because of the multiple rhetorical strategies Hooten incorporates in his essay. Hooten assertively presents to his readers that using the language of war carelessly can desensitize us to the horrors of war and develop into real events through the usage…

    Individuality is the greatest threat to a utopian society, if one person doesn’t like the way the leader is running the show, then why should you continue to follow their lead? This is the problem I tackled in my final project, as I produced a seminar that was telling students from a fictional institution how to run their utopian societies in a way where they could eliminate or control individuality. Of course their are many different ways to see a utopian society, sometimes it is optimistic, Where To Invade Next (2015) while others are much darker, 1984 (1984). I quickly decided to ignore the optimistic utopian societies, since many times the citizens are the rulers. Instead I focused on the utopian societies that were completely controlling…

    Apartheid The Europeans thought that because they have a different lifestyle or look different from the Dutch and English, they were better.
