 You’ve been in Multicultural Literature for about 4.5 weeks. How has the class been going for you so far?

The class has been going really well for me so far. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I've enjoyed the mix of poems and perspectives we’ve been reading. One of the highlights was when we read a short story about immigration, and it made me think about my own family and how culture shapes identity.

Summary: So far, Multicultural Literature has been engaging. We’ve read stories that explore themes like immigration and cultural identity, and class discussions have helped me understand the texts more deeply.

Reflection: The class has opened my eyes to different perspectives and made me think about how culture shapes people’s experiences

How does your hair connect to your culture or your identity? Describe a moment when your hair made you feel proud, uncomfortable, or misunderstood, and explain why. My hair is part of how I show who I am. I wear it in a way that feels comfortable and fits my style. It also connects to my culture and what I’ve learned from my family. My hair used to be straight, but as I grew up, my hair type changed, resembling my mom's hair type. I thought this was unfair because curly is difficult to care for and hard to style. My hair shows my identity, and I learned to be proud of it. This helped me accept myself and not worry about what others think.

  Prompt: The short film  Born With It  shows how stereotypes can shape the way people see others and even how individuals see themselves. Reflect on the main character’s experience and explain how stereotypes impacted his identity and sense of belonging. Then, connect this to a broader idea: how can stereotypes influence the way a culture or group is understood by others? Use specific examples from the film to support your response. I n Born With It , the main character is judged by stereotypes. People expect him to act a certain way, which makes him feel like he doesn’t belong. This affects how he sees himself.  This shows that stereotypes can make people misunderstand whole groups by assuming everyone is the same. Stereotypes affect the character’s identity and how others see him. Stereotypes are harmful because they stop people from seeing others as individuals.
