How To Read Lit Chp. 16-17

In the movie, Maid in Manhattan, the maid (Jennifer Lopez) falls in deep love with a wealthy man running for governor. While cleaning a suite one day, she tries on another woman’s expensive dress and suddenly there was a knock on the door, which was the rich man. The man was led to believe that the maid was actually a wealthy woman herself, living in the suite. One day the man running for governor, Chris, invites her to a formal dinner, but the maid, Maria, did not want to attend, she was eventually urged to go. Things escalate between the two and they both end up in Chris’s hotel suite. By this point in time one may think that some sexual intercourse would take place, but instead the movie switches to the next morning with Maria waking up in bed with Chris and has to get dressed for work. Overall this keeps the viewer tuned in and non-complacent with the movie. One can imply that the two had intercourse but the movie did not directly demonstrate it.
