In this picture there is a colored man walking out onto the metro, after buying his ticket. He’s wearing a black old fashioned hat matching nicely with his dark overcoat and a white collared shirt followed along by light khaki pants; and wrapped around his neck is a black filled tie with red flowers. He is carrying another suit on the back of his shoulder, as if it weighed only a few pounds in the light of the metro. Having a weird expression on his face as if he were puckering his lips and looking towards the sky as though he has seen something completely amazing, he holds on gently to his ticket as he walks out of the booth.

About Mulan..

Some of the values I had seen in the movie Mulan were their lifestyle; they went by morals to honor their families. Mulan is rejected by the matchmaker, so she’s really sad, and tries to bring honor to her family by saving China! Also, the way they dress has to do a lot with their values, you couldn’t just walk up around china wearing a t-shirt and jeans if you were a girl. (so mean!)I think that the person who created Mulan had done a lot or research on the country, or had been a formal habitant of China. Since the person who made Mulan must have wanted to make the main value be family, I’m sure it’s someone who also values family, or else I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have wanted you to see in this perspective, family is important. This movie has a mixture of both truth and fiction. There are no talking dragons, there are a lot of superstitions, which could, but may not be true. “Bringing honor” to the family was common in china. Confucius in writing Jen, wanted to lead people to having manners and being kind. Mulan gave up what she had to fight for china and her father, who is now older, and a bit incapacitated.
