Mystify
“That’s a member of a group of white Americans who believe they are the “true” Americans.
Maria’s brother, Bernardo, is a Shark. The Sharks are first generation Americans from Puerto Rico.
The Jets and the Sharks don’t like each other.
But Tony likes Maria. And Maria likes Tony.
And that’s a problem.
Man, can I relate to this. Sitting in Mrs. Copaceptic’s English II Honors class is more uncomfortable today than any of the days yet this year. Last year we read William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juli...et and watched the movie with Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. This year Mrs. Copaceptic—for reasons I’ll never understand—wanted to pick up on the same theme of star-crossed lovers, I suppose. We’re watching West Side Story, the 1950s musical that’s a remake of the way outdated Romeo and Juliet.
I guess this is outdated too since it’s over fifty years ago. Still, I think I like this version better. Maybe it’s because I’m multicultural with my dad being what they’d call “white American”MoreLess
