Points: 11.5/13 (88%)

The clips you are about to watch

are from a 2019 South Korean
lm called Parasite.
In the movie, there are two
families being focused on: a
wealthy family and a poorer family.
The lower class family begins
working for the upper class family,
shedding light on how the two
families move through life
di erently. These di erences are
shown through attitude, behavior,
and materials.

DIRECTIONS: Watch all of the

clips and answer all following
questions.

1 What type of literary device is the phrase "Money is an iron"?

1/1

Metaphor

Simile

Imagery

2 What does the mother mean when she says "money is an

1/1 iron"?

Money solves everyone's problems.

3 Near the end of the clip, the father begins asking his son
1/1 about a former employee that has since been red. Why do
you think he is asking so much about the previous
driver? What do you think the father may be thinking or
feeling in that moment?

(For clari cation: The rich family has a driver to take them
places. The poorer family sabotaged the previous driver, got
him red, and got the father hired to take the driver position)

The father probably feels guilty and wants to believe that Yoon is
still doing okay.

4 Summarize what is happening in the rst clip with the

1/1 wealthy family.

The wealthy family is coming home from a failed camping trip and
called the maid to cook soup. The maid had brought her family
over to the wealthy families' house.

5 Summarize what is happening in the second clip with the

1/1 poorer family.

The poorer family is going back home just to nd that their house
has been ooded.

6 Why do you think the director of this lm decided to place

1/1 these scenes back to back?

The director wants the audience to feel bad for the

lower class family.

The director wants to emphasize way in which people

who live in economic security live life much more
di erently than those who do not.

The director wants the audience to feel inspired by the

wealthy family's lifestyle.

7 Summarize what is happening in the rst clip with the poorer

1/1 family.
(Hint: the scene takes place the morning after the rain storm)

The poorer family is in a shelter trying to rummage through

donations to get ready for work.

8 Summarize what is happening in the second clip with the

0.5/1 wealthy family.

The poorer family is realizing how rich they are. And the poorer
family is being annoyed by the wealthy family.

I think you need to reword your

response. Remember to explain
what the wealthy family is doing in
this clip. What are they getting
ready for?

9 When the mother said they turned "Lemons into lemonade,"

1/1 what was she referring to?

The family's camping trip got cancelled because of the

rain but now they can have a garden party with friends
at home

The mother was telling her friend to make lemons into

lemonade for the garden party

The weather was ugly the night before but now the
weather is beautiful and sunny

10 The "lemons into lemonade" phrase also applies to the

0/1 people working for the rich family during this scene.

True

False

Incorrect. "Turning lemons into

lemonade" means you turn
something bad into something
good---Did the lower class family
do this?

11 Now that you have watched all of the clips, tell us about your
1/1 favorite scene and why.

My favorite scene is when the man is driving the wealthy woman

around and he looks annoyed. The face me made was funny.

12 For whichever scene you selected as your favorite in the

1/1 previous question, explain how you believe wealth inequality
is being shown. Make sure you include examples from the
movie to explain your thinking.

The wealthy woman made the less wealthy man do everything for
he. For example, he had to drive her around everywhere and do
simple tasks for her.

13 Ms. Jernberg and I do not expect you to know everything

1/1 about this week's topic already. Tell us what your rst
impressions are now that you have watched through
clips portraying wealth inequality.

This can be anything from your thoughts, feelings, reactions,

interest, etc.

My rst impressions were that i felt bad for the poorer family that
they have to do EVERYTHING for the wealthy family.
