Native American Persecution


George Washington thought that the Native Americans were an equal but inferior race and designed a six step plan to civilize the Native Americans. In my opinion, this occured because the Native Americans really had no central governmental figure to stop the colonization. Akin to the tribes of Umuofia in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart the Native Americans were a mottly bunch of little tribes that really had no chance against a central power like the newly formed United States of America. Here's my source: Remini, Robert. ""The Reform Begins"". Andrew Jackson. History Book Club. p. 201.

BOLLYWOOD!!!

Bollywood is a word that either refers to all the movies that are made in India, or it can refer to a specific genre of movies that qualify as "Bollywood" movies. Slumdog Millionaire can be a Bollywood movie as it was made in India however, it doesn't meet the requirements to be a pure and true "Bollywood Movie".

"The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest in the world." (Wikipedia 1).

I think from Slumdog Millionaire that we can expect a great deal more movies that are from Bollywood coming into the American theatres.
