Film vs. Article

In the film Carnival Bahia, there was one main carnival and everyone participated in it. The main difference between the people participating was their class. The film concentrated on the plight of the Olodum. They faced more struggles to be apart of the carnival because of their limited amount of funds. This carnival is just one example of how culture can blur the lines between classes. Even though Olodum was one of the poorer clubs, by the end of the carnival everyone was singing their song.
In the article I found that there was a concentration on how the different groups of Hispanics celebrate different carnivals instead of focusing on one like the film. The article talked mainly about the origins of carnivals like Cinco de Mayo, which was the "commemoration of the 1862 battle of Puebla" (39). Reading about different carnivals is immensely different than actually witnessing the for oneself.
Both ways of viewing carnivals have a way that shows the audience it is possible to cross certain lines, i.e. class. It is also possible to, for at least a while, not differentiate between the different groups of Hispanics and they can all be one large group, i.e. San Francisco.
