Educating Rita Transitions

Life is what you make it as we go through life’s journey. We all have different experiences that are unique to us individually. “Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.” - Virginia Satir. There are typical aspects of our journey that are similar, but different; we share commonalities along the way with others. In life, we will face challenges that bring about change, which is what happens to us along the way when we are younger, and it makes us who we are when we are older. Change is the opposite

Timid and shy, Annelle was not very open in communicating with Truvy. After Truvy critiqued Annelle’s work, Annelle began to open more and communication between them got better as time went on. There was a lot of lateral communication that occurred between Truvy and Annelle because Truvy was so down to earth and didn’t want Annelle to look at her as a boss, but as a friend. Since both Truvy and Annelle were both hairstylists, they were able to communicate in a way that did not cause for one to dominate the other. The relationship between the two was also a mentoring relationship. Mentoring is when a partnership between an experienced individual –the mentor– helps someone who is less experienced–the protégé, (DeVito, 2015, p.274). Truvy was an experienced hairstylist and Annelle had just graduated beauty school. Though she had learned much from beauty school, there were tips and tricks she learned from Truvy that could not be taught in school. As stated in our textbook, mentoring is perhaps best characterized as a relationship in which the experienced and powerful mentor empowers the novice, giving the novice the tools and techniques for gaining the same power the mentor holds, (DeVito, 2015, p.274). This can be observed by the end of Steel Magnolias when Annelle is doing other character’s hair as they chat in the salon. Annelle is moving without hesitation. She is multitasking and

The film of G.I Jane is about a girl who joined the Navy because some lady told her to join in but that Lady didn’t though she was going to be that good but she really was Jane was acting more like a guy than a women.She decided to cut all her hair out so it wouldn’t be a bother. she also talked to the person in charge of the Navy so they could treat her good not put her in easy obstacles put her in men obstacles. The 1997 film GI Jane demonstrates examples of the socialization process viewing the methods of desocialization and resocialization used by the Navy SEAL CRT program from the xxxxx perspective.

The following project, will address the case of Rita and Christiana C . after concern was provided by a neighbor, who reported that 2 years-old, Christina, seemed underweight, neglected and presented facial bruises. She is cared by her currently unemployed single 19 year old mother, Rita C., in a one bedroom apartment in a lower-income neighborhood of Pleasantville, CA. Under these circumstances, a caseworker was assigned by Child Protective Services to visit the home in order to identify the potential impacts and implications for the developmental growth of Christina C. In order to advise Judge Thompson, this project will focus on providing careful explanations that describe the familial and parental characteristics of the socio-cultural environment that favor the removal of Christina from Rita 's custody, followed by the explanation of why the attachment between the parent and child provide reasons that are against the removal of Rita 's custody of Christina, to end on a recommendation on which course of action will best benefit the child.

Recently, the class watched the movie “Dan in Real Life” and many people would be surprised just how much of this movie relates to what the class is currently learning about. For example, there is the use of nonverbal communication, the use of interpersonal communication, and the use of many other types of communications that are all found throughout the movie.

Certain films evoke an emotion in you. Whether it being happy, sad, scared or even angry – movies have a way of teaching us new things about ourselves and even the world. I, myself, often find myself trying to piece together what types of roles individuals play within society, regardless of if it is a film or real life. We all have these roles and functions that determine how we will act, what we will do, how we will react, and who we will interact with. These are all things that we want to know about someone, not only out of curiosity but so we can predict how others that do the same will also react. The movie, Divergent, which is based on the three-novel series by Veronica Roth is one that showed me how society functions from a

Educating Rita by Willy Russell explores the value of education, but also the wider education that takes place and how to use that education to your greatest benefit; not only during the school education but also the looking at the surrounding world. Rita, an uneducated lady, is unhappy with the limitations of her social class and feels that to escape the limitations she needs to get a properly recognised education.

She wants to learn everything but soon discovers that even education has its limits. Frank, her tutor and lecturer,

New stages of life can often introduce change within a persons and cause them to reassess who they are and what they value. These changes can surface due to transitions faced by the individual and new relationships formed during this time, which allow the individual to experience a personal transformation. The Story of Tom Brennan by J.C Bourke and The Dead Poets Society both explore these concepts through the use of characters who transform due to changes in their lives, which lead to a reevaluation of who they are and what they value.

In “The Daily Grind: Lessons in the Hidden Curriculum”, Peggy Orenstein gives an observation of an eighth graders day in math class at middle school. Orenstein in this selection is trying to give the reader a view of how there is a gender gap between girls and boys and how control of power is different between male and female. In the beginning Orenstein states that Mrs. Ritcher the math teacher, “is a ruddy athletic woman with a powerful voice.”(97) While class is in session, Orenstein observes the teacher showing more attention towards the boys then the girls. The author observes that: “Allison, a tall, angular girl who once told me, “My goal is to be the best wife and mother I can be,” raises her hand to ask a question. Mrs. Ritcher, finishing

I think the first question was about Chekhov; coz y' know I'm dead familiar with Chekhov now' Rita's confidence has become more obvious because 'dead surprised' has now become 'dead familiar' this shows that Rita has now become a different person. Before Frank had met Rita he was unhappy with his life he was drinking a lot, bored of lecturing and teaching so he decided he would so some work with the Open University and of course Rita was his first student. ' Can I offer you a drink? ... Scotch'

indeed a person who has a lot to say and Frank listens and responds to
