Explain How Tom Brennan and Juno (Related Text) Portray the Consequences of Moving Into the World

This powerful characteristic that transitional phases possess have the potential to be a rewarding experience, as they provide an individual with the opportunity for growth and knowledge development through newfound relationships. In ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’, Tom exhibits this through his bond with Chrissy following the dark trauma he endures caused by his brother Daniel. Initially, Tom feels detached from his own identity as he refers to himself in third person “I missed…simple Tom Brennan”, emphasising his deteriorated mental state. However, the relationship he forms with Chrissy is instrumental in his recovery as he begins to find himself again. His passionate tone in “Today I kissed Chrissy Tulake, I felt like Tom Brennan” epitomizes how this bond empowers him to assert a stronger sense of personal identity. Burke, therefore, is able to reveal how transitional

Brendan attempts to drag Tom out of his depression state by encouraging him to go running in the mornings together. “Its good for the mind too, being up early, getting a bit of exercise,” Brendan motivates Tom.This helps him get back on track to his new life.

Brendan was the main reason that Tom built his confidence back up and got back into the norm of playing

Burke illustrates Tom’s inner conflict with first-person narration. The guilt he feels over the inactivity he had on the night of the incident, his frustration with Kylie and the added guilt he exhibits because he feels sorry for himself all adds up to his conflicted thoughts. Tom doesn’t know or feel like himself anymore. But Burke brings this to the attention of the reader in a good light when Tom thinks, “But now I knew what I missed most. I missed me, Tom Brennan, and that’s why now I could smile, ‘cause I could see he was coming back.” Thus, when J.C. Burke aptly finishes the book with the line “that was the morning Tom Brennan came back, forever,” the true development in Tom’s character and conflict is shown through the employment of first-person narration. Therefore, J.C. Burke thoroughly addressed the conflict in Tom’s mind as it was overcome in the

These lines show that Tom’s life is luxurious, while Chamber’s life is the complete opposite. Although Tom gets more, it is almost damaging to him because he grows up extremely self-centered. Tom’s poor character is visible when he treats Chambers unfairly. Tom, "staked him with marbles to play “keeps” with, and then took all the winnings away from him" (27). This is just one of the cruel things Tom does to Chambers.

During this entire scene it is always a close shot which clearly defines that it is Juno and Mark. I think the director purposely made it a close shot so that we could feel like we are a fly on the wall watching everything unfold in front of us. The way the camera is angled Juno’s face is not in focus but is in clear focus on Marks face as if I am Vanessa catching him in the act of cheating. When Juno and Mark begin dancing to the song I feel a rage pass through me. During this scene, I feel as if I am watching a video of Mark cheating since it is dark and out of focus. When Mark is slow dancing with his hands around Juno’s waste he makes a joke saying “doesn’t it feel like it is something between us?” and the camera goes down to emphasize Juno’s pregnant stomach. I feel like this director didn’t literally mean the baby. I think he was talking about how Juno and Mark couldn’t be together because of the age difference and because Mark was actually a married

We are all born into this world, never knowing what life has in store for us.

The arising conflict, which puts extra strain on Mark's relationship with Vanessa, who is so sure in her desire to have a child, results in their separation and the falling apart of what seemed such a perfect solution to Juno's predicament. Mark and Vanessa's separation hits Juno especially hard, because in her helpless situation Mark and Vanessa's seemingly perfect situation not only grounded her but gave her hope, as her birth parent's divorce and the dysfunctional relationship between her father and stepmother seem to give her no hope for happiness now or later in life. As Juno's pregnancy reaches full-term her faith in others and relationships is restored when she realizes that Vanessa's desire and love for her unborn child makes her more than suitable to be the mother of her child, which also gives her the courage to express her true feelings for her friend Paulie. The movie ends on an inspirational and hopeful note, with Juno having a healthy baby boy whom Vanessa willingly and lovingly accepts, and Juno and Paulie entering into a healthy and stable relationship. After watching the movie with some knowledge of the process of growth and development, the role that Bronfenbrenner's, Piaget's, and Erickson's theories played in Juno's development.

At the end of the film the main character Juno shows true maturity.
