Reaction Essays (30%): You will write a short reaction paper  on a feature film （ Raise the Red Lantern  ） that we’ve viewed in class. The film reaction paper must be 400 to 800 words and should incorporate themes from the class, themes from the readings if relevant, and your original thinking. This is a formal writing exercise. DO NOT JUST SUMMARIZE THE FILM! Draw out one or more key themes from the film and provide your reaction to the film within the context of our course content and discussions. While you do not need to bring in any outside research, the writing should be formal and clean. I want to hear what you think, but this does not mean you should write in a colloquial or informal style. 

The content of the lesson is the book Asian cultural traditions p139-p232. The link between the book and the Raise the Red Lantern movie will be attached. Please combine it with essay as required.
