Compare Spike Lee’s point of view on race mixing in the movie “Jungle Fever” to the views expressed by Jake Blount and David Bernstein. Which point of view seems to have more validity to you? Explain why.


I suppose Bernstein's view and Spike Lee's view are similar. They

mentioned about society (masses of people) trough example of

relationship of different races. Therefore the same thing which the

two pointed out would happen between different social classes of the

same races. Bernstein and Lee pointed out the difficulty of getting

closer between different societies of people when there are lumps

between different societies, even though individuals got over

prejudices to other groups.

Jake’s point of view is more personal. He was mentioned about

himself. He insisted that he is outsider for every kind of people

because he is mixed, and he is not black, white, yellow and any

certain kind.

You made a good point that Spike Lee and Bernstein are talking about society in a general way, while Jake is referring to himself as an example. I'm not clear on some other things you said: 'when there are LUMPS between different societies'. Lumps is not the correct word and I'm not sure what you mean. Also, you say 'therefore the same thing would happen between different social classes of the same races'. What 'same thing'? And how is it related to race? Be more specific.
