Another kid we studied in this course, Moonee, was living in Kissimmee, Florida in the late 2010s, see A09. Use your ethnographic observations of these two kids, Little and Moonee, to make the case that the local culture of Florida has not changed that much since the 1980s.

I am looking here to see you reference Moonlight (2016) and The Florida Project (2017) well, i.e., that you find good, strong examples about the settings for these films; that you zero in on the ways children, specifically, experience these landscapes; and that you are able to articulate the idea of “local culture” and how any kind of culture can remain the same over time or, also, change.

Roald Dahl originally envisioned Charlie as racially and ethnically Black

Like in Q07, what you are doing in your answer to this question is freezing the 1971 Willy Wonka film in place.

Do you think Little would react differently to winning Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, (complete with its unpaid labor force, i.e., the Oompa Loompas), to Charlie’s reaction?

14 .5 points, At least 25 words > According to the following two sources, what can the buying and selling of chocolate teach us about racism and ethnocentrism in the 20th century? Racism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized and/or the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another. Ethnocentrism is the evaluation of other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one’s own culture. Make sure you address both of these things.

16. .5 points, At least 25 words > Make the argument that in the 21st century, an inexpensive tomato is as racially and ethnically exploitative as an inexpensive piece of chocolate. To formulate your answer use the chapters I already assigned from The Emperors of Chocolate (1999), see Q01 directly above, and the Introduction and Chapters 1-4 from a brand new text for us, Tomatoland (2011) by Barry Estabrook. Be sure also to explain and defend your response. What does racially and ethnically exploitative mean? Well, exploitative means making use of a situation or treating others unfairly in order to gain an advantage or benefit. So what you want to explain for this answer is how certain races and ethnicities are exploited to make inexpensive tomatoes and chocolate.
