Representation analysis

The representation of race gender weight are all in precious is portrayed it has gone back in time and is portraying another type of slavery but by her own family. When precious is fighting with her mother on the stairs the first thing you see her the mother do is chase her up the stairs to go and beat precious this is what would happen in slavery times which is why it is a stereotype to our race. Also in the trailer precious is only 16 and already has 2 kids and has not left high school yet. These are typical qualities of how a young female would be treated in slavery she would be raped beaten and have to drop out of school. Two of those things happen during this trailer as precious was beaten by her mother and raped by her dad. This creates the suggestion that black females do not deserve to go to school and should be stay at home parents and drop out of school like slavery times. Also obese people are treated wrong as they are bigger than everyone one else and most of them are bullied into thinking nobody will eve love them and that them being raped is the only way they will get kids. Black Americans are portrayed to be very violent towards their own kids which is portrayed quite similar to most Hollywood black movies where the parents cannot fund for their own children and their children have too look after themselves which puts an image on all black parents that they are not good
