This is my introduction paragraph to my essay: In his novel "Native Speaker," Chang-Rae Lee tells the story of Henry Park, a Korean-American who works as a spy and is hired to unravel the hidden truths of John Kwang, a politician running for mayor of New York City. On the other hand, "Gangs of New York" is a film directed by Martin Scorsese, and the story revolves around Amsterdam, a young man who returns to the city seeking revenge against the leader of a gang that killed his father years before. While the two stories have entirely different plots, both protagonists face daunting challenges as they navigate their border crossings and personal identities. The border crossing for Henry is not giving into the pressures of his boss, Dennis Hoagland; in the process, he grapples with his own identity, seeking to reconcile the conflicting aspects of his heritage. The border crossing that Amsterdam faces is his mission to kill Bill the Butcher; through his journey to do so, he works to reconcile his Irish gang heritage with his American identity within the tumultuous environment of 19th-century New York City. By depicting their character's respective border crossings, Scorsese and Lee explore the theme of belonging in their works, utilizing various literary and visual elements to do so (paragraph ends here). The next paragraph will be about a moment in Gangs of New York. The scene is where Bill the Butcher sits late at night and talks to Amsterdam, who is in bed with Jenny. Write a paragraph looking at the visual and literary elements Scorsese uses to explore the theme of belonging in the scene.
