Tangled<\/a>. In that film, Rapunzel wants to know who she is, and she feels a great connection to the lights she sees once a year. It is said that adopted children have a sense of who they are and want to learn more about their heritage as they got older. Make a family tree. Have a cultural heritage dinner and make some recipes from your ancestors. Seek out a festival that celebrates your heritage. (And make sure to find out what stereotypes are typical for your ethnicity – you may be surprised to find out that there is a fine line between the truth and some stereotypes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\nExploring Irish Stereotypes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Finally, take each of the “cultural stereotypes” and dissect them into 1) stereotypes and 2) truth. In the film, Kyle’s mom starts to become a wee bit more Irish as time goes on. What type of foods does she begin to prepare? How does this fit in with Irish culture? As you explore Irish culture, consider finding an Irish pub or restaurant that serves Shepherd’s Pie, Fish and Chips, and some other Irish. Attend a St Patrick’s Day Parade or Irish Festival and partake in Irish festivities. I particularly like watching Irish step dancing. If you can’t find any step dancers in your area, check out some on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Luck of the Irish – My Viewing Recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Overall, this is a cheesy film that is sure to delight younger viewers. While there is plenty of criticism about this film, it still is a great family film and excellent to teach about Irish culture. Incorporate it into your Saint Patrick’s Day teaching and enjoy the silliness of it. Make sure to talk about luck – good and bad and what God’s word says about luck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The phrase “Luck of the Irish” is a stereotype that originated during the gold rush. when Irishmen struck gold. No one thought they were intelligent enough to strike gold on their own. However, it is believed that Irish immigrants contributed to the expression themselves. Whether it was a derogatory statement or not, or where it originated (because there are several Irish sites that claim it started in Ireland), it is now considered good luck to say and said by many people of Irish descent. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nNot all Irish people have red hair, but Ireland has the highest percentage of ginger-haired people of any other country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is It Luck or Something Else?
