2.1 prewriting

Complete a 5 minute free-writing exercise after viewing your choosen film. During this free-writing, think about your pre-concieved notions of gender, the fifties, and/or "social guidance." When you think of the 1950s in America do you assume that we are more "liberated" than "they" were then? What does liberated mean? Who do you think the audience of these films are supposed to be? What prejudices or expectations do you bring to the table?
