The plantation class is often mythicized as enjoying happy, contented, successful lives but the film treated that myth erroneous because the film expressed how masters were struggling, slaves were treated differently, and the plantation life existed. In the film, they showed two different types of masters. The first master had a small planation. He did indeed treat them better by having bible reading and leisure time. He gave sympathy towards Solomon Northup. From the beginning, he gave him…

This is my 10th year working in the plantation, and I finally adapt to this place. Working in the plantation was harder than I thought. Getting enough money to go back to Korea was my goal, but I guess I failed. I’m married right now, and I have 2 children already, because it’s better to make more money with 4 people than 1 person working. Even though I never wrote a letter to you guys, I really miss you guys and I will tell you about life in Oahu. I heard that Korea is in trouble because of…

This week’s reading focused on early explorers to the Americas, and there were a couple of things that I was pleasantly surprised to discover. For one, I was not expecting to read Of Plymouth Plantation. I am familiar with the book as my Dad actually tried to read it to me (and my siblings) when we were little because he was enjoying so much, but I did not have much appreciation for it at the time. Since then, I have come to see its value and enjoy its insights. It relays the rich history and…
