Summary and Analysis

The college had two dorms, the name of dorm are Omega and Delta. Good students lived in Omega and bad students lived in Delta. The students of Omega got good grades and were sincere but the students of Delta always drank alcohol and gambled at cards and smoked, killed the horse, peeped female dorm, moreover they always made big bad problems and their grade is the worst. So the University of President and the students of Omega want to kick the students of Delta of the campus. So they planed but whenever they failed their plan but finally they succeeded their plan, but Delta’s students prepared to mass. Omega’s students planed the festival. When the festival started, Delta’s students messed the festival. It looked like a war. Eventually the festival messed up and Delta’s students was gone

Relation to Case Study

In the case study from Unit 3 and in this movie, we saw that culture shock. If Maria met Delta’s students, she immediately got back her country. Actually I didn’t understand Delta’s students and I felt a culture shock. So I understood Maria’s mind, because it is too different, but we need to adjust USA culture.

Reaction to Film

I like to watch a movie, this movie was not bad, but while I watched the movie, I felt culture shock because Korean university’s culture is different. If Delta’s students live in Korea, they will be arrested by a Police. So I think about overcoming method from the culture shock. The best way is that we just admit “difference”, because living style is difference and environment is difference. So if we understand that. We can overcome the culture shock.
