00:00 - 00:03
I will be comparing and contrasting the American dreams of
00:03 - 00:06
reality with the dreams of the characters from the film.
00:06 - 00:07
In American Tale.
00:09 - 00:12
An American Tail is movie set in 18 85 and
00:13 - 00:14
follows the young mouse rival Maskell.
00:15 - 00:17
It's his family as they emigrate to America from Russia
00:18 - 00:21
in the hopes of escaping cats during a storm, Bible
00:21 - 00:23
is separated from his family at sea.
00:23 - 00:25
You, luckily arrives in New York by bottle and travels
00:25 - 00:28
around New York with new friends Bridget and Tony in
00:28 - 00:31
the hopes of finding his family while assisting in of
00:31 - 00:32
revolution against the Cats of New York.
00:34 - 00:38
I will be specifically focusing on example of that relate
00:38 - 00:42
to the disciplinary focuses of economics, politics and child development.
00:43 - 00:46
The characters I will be looking at our Papa Mouse
00:47 - 00:48
quits in five amount school.
00:48 - 00:52
It's to start off proper amounts.
00:53 - 00:54
Twits prospers.
00:54 - 00:56
American Dream aligns perfectly with the typical dream.
00:57 - 00:59
So he is a perfect comparison for the American dream,
01:00 - 01:02
which is defined as a person or family moving from
01:03 - 01:05
one country to America in the hopes of becoming richer,
01:06 - 01:07
escaping from their home country.
01:08 - 01:11
One reason Papa is a perfect comparison is that the
01:12 - 01:15
is that what pushes the mouse school it's to move
01:15 - 01:17
is the fact that cats burn down their house in
01:18 - 01:20
Russia. Thus, by moving to America, his family is escaping
01:21 - 01:23
the oppressive nature of the cats as well as protecting
01:24 - 01:27
themselves, since they believe that cats do not exist in
01:28 - 01:31
America after figuring out the cats are in America, he
01:31 - 01:33
doesn't run away, but instead brings his family to help
01:34 - 01:36
the cause for the revolution against the cats, something he
01:37 - 01:39
would not have done if he wasn't is at home
01:40 - 01:40
in Russia.
01:41 - 01:44
Additionally, although money is not integral to the movie's plot,
01:45 - 01:47
there are mentions of having to pay a rat for
01:47 - 01:48
protection as well.
01:48 - 01:50
A scenes in which human women are working.
01:50 - 01:52
Considering the family's heirloom is a hat is a fair
01:53 - 01:56
urge, say that looking into the weekly wages of a
01:56 - 01:58
hat and cap maker would prove that they moved to
01:58 - 02:00
America for monetary gain as well.
02:00 - 02:02
And the numbers prove this as males with a medium
02:03 - 02:08
job grade made $14 while women makes $18 at the
02:08 - 02:11
same grade, whereas in Russia the same great only yes,
02:12 - 02:16
$5.10 so ultimately moving to America was a financially safe
02:17 - 02:19
investment for the Moskowitz, and this shows how others would
02:20 - 02:22
find this to be appealing for their American dream as
02:23 - 02:27
well. Now that we have covered Papa and subsequently the
02:27 - 02:30
typical married can dream, let's look at survival.
02:31 - 02:34
There are many ways that five holes American Dream could
02:34 - 02:37
have ended up changing from his father's, which I will
02:37 - 02:38
be contrasting against.
02:38 - 02:40
It's effectively the American dream.
02:41 - 02:44
First option, of course, is the movie's ending, which is
02:44 - 02:46
the typical happy ending rivals.
02:46 - 02:49
Dream is currently to explore more of America with the
02:49 - 02:51
main focus on the West, as shown by the fact
02:51 - 02:54
that the next movie is subtitled, Five Will Goes West,
02:55 - 02:57
and this speaks to the westward expansion aspect of the
02:57 - 02:59
get rich part of the American dream.
03:01 - 03:03
The second option is centered around child labor.
03:04 - 03:06
This also focuses on the monetary aspect of the American
03:07 - 03:10
dream. However, considering final finds, his family at the end
03:10 - 03:11
of the movie is possible.
03:12 - 03:13
That his father would delay five, will join in the
03:14 - 03:16
work force until he was older, just by how their
03:16 - 03:18
family dynamics is.
03:18 - 03:20
Yet. If I will hadn't found his family, he would
03:20 - 03:23
have been forced into the workforce air ago, he would
03:23 - 03:26
have a similar dream to his father's by Larry of
03:26 - 03:27
monetary Gain.
03:27 - 03:29
But he would be more focused on his own survival
03:29 - 03:31
than having to care for a family like his father
03:32 - 03:32
is possible.
03:32 - 03:36
That fiver would steal 50 would steal, even been, until
03:36 - 03:39
he could find a job, seeing as labour laws were
03:40 - 03:42
becoming more restrictive on child workers at the time?
03:44 - 03:46
The third option is that Rival is rescued by Children's
03:47 - 03:51
aid. This program focuses on helping orphaned Children get off
03:51 - 03:52
the streets and to find homes.
03:52 - 03:56
They even pioneered the orphan train movement that place more
03:56 - 04:01
than 120,000 orphan Children with families across the country between
04:02 - 04:04
18 53 in the early 19 hundreds.
04:05 - 04:08
So getting saved by this organization would not have been
04:08 - 04:11
horrible for five all, but it would delay his hopes
04:11 - 04:14
to find his family or completely destroyed them.
04:14 - 04:17
This would leave to five ALS American dream to either
04:17 - 04:19
be working, So he confined his family or five all
04:19 - 04:21
growing up with the dream to help kids like him
04:22 - 04:25
so they don't have to go through with what he
04:25 - 04:28
did thus leading him to focus on helping the program
04:29 - 04:32
or helping with keeping track of people in general, differing
04:33 - 04:35
greatly from his father's dream, which is centred on his
04:35 - 04:36
family rather than those around him.
04:37 - 04:39
The final option is more of a general analysis.
04:40 - 04:40
Defy vel.
04:41 - 04:44
If you hadn't found his family considering backed to the
04:44 - 04:47
Children's aid programme, there has been research that shows that
04:48 - 04:51
adopting parents and schools have not provided the emotional sport
04:52 - 04:53
these Children often need most.
04:53 - 04:56
Adopting parents lack information on the problem and are therefore
04:56 - 04:58
unable to offer emotional support.
04:59 - 05:01
So even though 50 could have ended up with a
05:01 - 05:03
loving family, you would not get the support he needs.
05:04 - 05:05
Grieving the law, us of his real family.
05:06 - 05:08
This would probably be worse off if he was on
05:08 - 05:11
the streets alone as he became depressed and possibly angry.
05:12 - 05:13
His dream could shift to wanting to die because he
05:14 - 05:14
thinks his family is gone.
05:15 - 05:19
You could become angry the way at the way immigration
05:19 - 05:22
occurs because he lost his family out at sea and
05:22 - 05:24
no one knew where to take him to help him.
05:24 - 05:27
He could grow up and want to help those like
05:27 - 05:31
him as I hypothesized with them, Children's aid is hard
05:31 - 05:33
to say, since Rival is only seven during the film
05:34 - 05:35
and he's developing mentally.
05:35 - 05:37
The only thing that is certain is that his situation
05:38 - 05:40
with cause his American dream to differ greatly from his
05:40 - 05:43
father's dream of protection and financial stability for his family.
05:49 - 05:51
In summary, if Rival will have a much different idea
05:51 - 05:53
of what the American dream is compared to his father,
05:53 - 05:56
he's developing in a new country and will have new
05:56 - 05:57
stimulates deal with as he matures.
05:58 - 06:00
You won't have to dream of protection from Pat's or
06:00 - 06:01
getting meant money.
06:02 - 06:05
He will have to who focus on himself.
06:06 - 06:09
And any amount of things could have occurred in this
06:09 - 06:11
movie that would have pushed rival one way or another.
06:13 - 06:15
But for now, Viable is only thinking of the West,
06:15 - 06:18
the next step for the most on their American dream
