I found about how they interact between the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies, and one of them was during a pep rally event. When Sandy was in the Rydell cheer team, she was encouraged by a girl was obsessed to school spirit. Then the Pink Ladies decided to reunite with Danny and Sandy, but Sandy ran away after Danny’s behavior since he wanted to protect his affiliation with the T-Birds. Ultimately, Danny’s behavior against Sandy was an example of symbolic interactionism since it was basically groups by gender – male or female, and shoed of how the T- Birds and the Pink Ladies interacted during that part of the movie.

One of this week’s readings focused on Ch. 5, “Caged Birds,” in Professor Lytle Hernandez’s book City of Inmates: Conquest, Rebellion, and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles, 1771-1965, and this chapter was particularly interesting because it further explained the development of immigration control in the United States.

This essentially prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, as well as eventually requiring these people to comply with regulations. “Caged Birds” encapsulates the events afterwards, as the book heads well into the early-1900’s. The disenfranchisement of immigrants develops towards further exclusivity because “[by] 1917, Congress had banned all Asian immigration to the Unites States and also categorically prohibited all prostitutes, convicts, anarchists, epileptics, ‘lunatics,’ ‘

The passenger pigeon or wild pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is an extinct species of pigeon that was endemic to North America.
