Chicago

Chicago is a busy city. It is a migrant city. The one thing that keeps the city of Chicago is flowing with an age old work ethic. Do people in Chicago live to work or work to live? I believe that the work ethic is so strong, people live to work. I will display this through two movie set in Chicago. The Fugitive is about a man accused of killing his wife, he escapes from the pen and is now on the run. My Big Fat Greek Wedding is about a woman stuck in an everyday routine at the age of thirty and a love story.

Chicago is a melting pot of diversity. Chicago is situated in the railroad and had been a transportation and shipping hub for the last century. During the industrial era city residents worked so hard, this still continues in the city today.

The fugitive: Harrison Ford is on the run. He returns back to the hospital that he works at to investigate and reunite with people he knows. He spends time in the hospital and ends up deviating from a doctors orders and saving a boys life. Although he is in the hospital looking for evidence he can not stop helping and assisting health service workers.

Harrison Ford is invested in his career. His free time is spent with his coworkers at work events. He lives and breathes work.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Toula is mot married, she is not really educated, and she still works for the family business. She serves food at Dancing Zorba's, her parents Greek restaurant. Toula gets up early and with her family is devoted to serving, running, cooking, and financing the restaurant.

With all this work Toula is unable to meet any men and is always shunned for being "so old." Toula wants to take classes at the university and along with her mother tricks her father into letting her take computer classes to better the family business.

Toula goes to school and works at the travel agency her family owns because she is good at computers. Toula always thinks about two things, being accepted by her family and working hard for them. Toula rarely does anything for herself.

Creating Knowledge: Chicago is a city of workers. Unemployment is higher then the US average here. Meaning there are plenty of people waiting for jobs. Hard work is necessary to keep a job. Toula and Harrison Ford both represent the ethics that are Chicago.
