Recommended: The role of family in society

María Full of Grace is a film that gives us an intake on just how hard it is to make a living, especially at such a young age. María and her family struggled with making a living, they were constantly fighting over who had to pay the next bill or who had to pay for something they needed. And the amount of money each was making with the job they had. You could tell in the film they really relied on María and the money she was making at the flower shop when she finally told her family she quit her job. This is starting to become a common thing in today’s society. I have been a witness to this on several occasions. This film really opened my eyes in several different ways. It made me realize just how important family truly is in our daily lives.

    When noticing a person who wears a similar clothes everyday, one may wonder what their intentions behind their attire is. In Isabel Allende’s story “Simple Marie” featured in The Stories of Eva Luna, the clothes are taken in a figurative sense just as much as in a literal function. Just as clothes are made to cover up one's physical body, clothes can be interpreted as a covering of one’s soul and true identity. Although, not very evident on the surface of the story, one can discover the intentions of Maria, by correlating the situation to her attire. The symbolism that Allende creates within the clothing of Maria illustrates a deeper sense to her vulnerability and reasoning within the situations of her life.

The novel takes place in 1961 New Bremen, Minnesota where a World War II veteran and minister, Nathan Drum, and his nuclear family reside. This Steinbeckian novel mostly revolves around his children and their real life exposure to an evasive topic: death. Numerous times in the novel, it is heavily implied that Nathan Drum has killed in the war, and suffers some sort of post-traumatic stress which will later be transferred to his two sons, Frank and Jake.

    In the beginning of the book when Mariam’s mother tells her that, “Women like us. We Endure. It’s all we have.” you don't really want to believe her. You want to believe that Mariam has more to offer to this word than endurance and that she will go places in life. You think that the book might be here to prove her mother wrong about women only being there to endure, but it really seems to do the opposite. Mariam starts her journey of endurance when Jalil tells her that he will take her to his new cartoon movie at his theatre, but Mariam finds out that he abandoned her and left her to sit on the streets all night because he was ashamed of having a “harami.” She then goes home devastated only to find that her mother hung herself out of grief for her child.

    This movie takes place in Colombia. Maria a 17 year old teenage girl having to work at a factory of roses where she dethrones the roses. Money is low in the house and all her income goes to her mom, or sister that has a child that also Maria has to support.

The job seems difficult since the boss yells them to hurry up or how many of each color roses he wants. Lunch break is provided for them yet it just a piece of bread and banana. I assume it was something that was giving daily due to the fact that when she is home she doesn’t want to eat bread. Maria’s boyfriend Juan in my point always tries having sex with her since he is always seducing her. She climbs up building and tells him to climb up so they can talk but he is scares and leaves her there. Next day she does the daily routine to go to work, but this time she does not feel well.

  • The 60s (movie)

    This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.

    Not only does this movie deal with the issues of society, but it points to biblical scriptures that help lead us in the right direction. The biggest lesson that this film taught me was that if I put my complete faith in God, then no matter what happens, he will provide, watch over, and take care of me. I learned that expressing belief in God is not enough. I have to live everyday believing and trusting him and I have to show my trust and faith through my actions and my words.
