Reading Assignment for Wed 4/26
Jordaan:
I really liked this story because it touches this idea of how relatives interact of amixed family relate to each other and the clashing of different ideals (i.e. stictness of punishments). It reminds me when I visit my cousins down in San Fransisco. Although we are of the same ethnicity, the change in ideals is stark and I can understand how the author of this vignnette can be so facinated with city life due to her experiences with her cousins.
Red-Light District:
This story was by far the lightest and most enjoyable story I read. It paints an almost serene picture of this district (constrasted to the stereotypical portrayal). How is the Amsterdam red-light district different from any other city's district? What type of people make up the working population in Amsterdam and are they any different that employees from another red-light district?
Gay Amsterdam:
These articles were rather disturbing partially because there were so different than the previous two stories. Are these stories an accurate representitive of how homsexuals in Amsterdam feel?
