Still have these to turn in? Equiano, Crevecouer

American Made: I can't show you this film except at school. As far as I know, there are no youtube videos that I can find. The film should answer these questions:

What stereotyping is addressed in the movie?
How did characters adapt to a different culture?
If I told you this was written within a few years of 9-11, what would you say is the message?
What are humorous events or words in the movie?
“You wouldn’t want to be stranded out here. Believe me, I know.” What does that mean literally and also in a larger sense?
When the father takes off his turban, who does he resemble? Why do you think the filmmakers did this?

Quotations on page 9 of your new packet, the grammar packet. We did the practice in class. Later in the quarter, there will be an open book test over what we cover in class. Therefore, it would be wise to make notes on your own packet.

Future important dates
Mon 10-Oct Rough draft due Coming to America
Wed 12-Oct Turnitin due Coming to America
