Humans create culture Humans are the creator of culture because animals are known to have no souls, but we do. I think this trait is shown throughout the whole movie. For example when Theo and his siblings play a cultural game about their fathers before them, and with that Mamere was able to find Theo back in Sudan.

When, I was in the airport saying goodbyes to friends and family members. I did not understand that I would not see them in again in five years. However, hearing the news that my abuelito had passed away in 2006.…

pregnancy and was a surprising hit. This film, Juno, has been called, “a sharp-edged, sweet-centred, warm-hearted coming-of-age movie that’s always just that little bit smarter than you think it is,” by Andrew Male (n.d., para. 9).
