ALADDIN!!!!....stereotypes


History class was sooo fun. We watched Aladdin and it was cool. In this movie, there are many stereotypes. There are the houses, landscapes, and of course the clothes. In Aladdin, there were many houses and each had their own spark but intially they were all very similar. They had the balcony and most were like condos, having two stories and each one belonging to a different person. This was probably very similar to what Islamic people had back in the old days. The clothes were probably also very similar. There were the baggy pants and the vests. But the royals wore fancy clothing with the same baggy pants, but with full, decorative shirts and the turban on the head. Even though Aladdin was just a really cool Disney movie, it taught how to analyze some of the stereotypes in the Islamic world.

I loved how you learned from such a simple movie. You might also want to change the ending instead of "...it taught how to analyze some of the stereotypes in the Islamic world.", you might want to say "...it has taught me how to analyze some stereotypes in the islamic world and how they ____" you could put dressed or what they ate or something of the sort.
