I choose to watch the movie “Keith” where I analyzed relationship growth between the characters in this film. This movie was about a girl named Natalie who was a popular, beautiful, smart highschool student with a perfect life. That was until she met Keith a strange, secretive, unpopular student in her high school and he changes her life forever when they become lab partners. The film begins with Natalie starting her typical morning routine which consists of getting ready, early morning tennis practice, and then school where she excels at everything. When she is finally done with class she is walking with her best friend a good looking jock who steals her attention. He doesn’t see her but it initiates that this relationship will develop into …show more content…
Then, he kisses her. They both stop right away and look away to think about how it felt but it is definitely an example of intimacy that they reached and it's no longer a friendship it's something more. Also, Natalie has a boyfriend so what she did is an example of infidelity. It is an example of infidelity because she was unfaithful to Rafael by kissing Keith. She also never even told Rafael it happened. What also makes it an infidelity is that she continues hang out with Keith when she knows Rafael doesn’t like it. When she goes back to school Keith isn’t there and Natalie begins to worry about him and forget about Rafael. This is an example of interdependence because Natalie’s action which are worrying so much about Keith, makes Rafael upset because she no longer has time for him. It also affects her parents because she loses her tennis match which is a big deal to them. She also gets in trouble for trying to sneak into Keith’s locker and gets suspended which makes her parents furious. At this point, it's also obvious she has a stronger commitment to Keith. She doesn’t want to end whatever they have and that's why she looks for him when he’s missing. She misses him and worries about …show more content…
The Natalie wants to be with Keith but she is afraid of what will happen if she is. The last time before he passes that you see them hanging out in the film the go to the airport because Natalie suggests they foreplay which is an example of a ritual because they always do that when they are together it's their way of having fun. While Keith isn’t being so involved this time since he is upset and instead is trying to push her away she sends him confirming messages by telling him she doesn’t care because “she made love to him”. And he sent confirming messages back when he tells her she is “amazing” and he just wanted a little more time with her. Afterwards there is an example of supportiveness because Natalie tells him she is staying with him. She doesn’t care how much time he has she will be there because she loves him. And just like that she is with him till he passeses. Then is the ending scene where Keith has passed away but Natalie follows once again all there rituals. Example of this are she packs everything he would pack like tic tacs, beef jerky and his goggles he would always
Using the movie Love Jones I will talk about the characteristics of male/male and female/female relationship as they are portrayed in the film. Then I will talk about how different the female/male relationship is and focus primarily on their communication styles. There is some harsh vocabulary included in my essay but only in quotations that I have taken from the movie itself to communicate what was going on in the scenes I have chose to talk about.
I would say that Kat and Patrick were both varying amounts of anxious and avoidant. But veering heavily on the avoidant side. They were both outcasts, who had been previously burned. Kat had some serious trust issues, but both of them having such similar issues, and allowed them to connect with eachother. Age doesn't really work as well in this context as they are highschoolers, but in their setting of being highschoolers, Kat and Patrick are older (seniors) than the other charecters who are sophmores. The only facotr age seems to play is that it gave Kat time to become jaded due to prior experiences. (sidenote, Kat's mother either lefct or died, which explains why she is so afraid of being left). Patrick did not fall in love at first sight, in fact, they openly hated eachother for quite awhile before becoming close. Kat is highly selective but has been spurned in ways that I beliveve justify her caution and avoidance of
In his 2001 film entitled Lantana, director Ray Lawrence provides a dramatic look into the consequences of jealousy and infidelity in relationships. The film focuses primarily on two couples, Leon and Sonja, and John and Valerie, whose relationships are both seemingly in the midst of their own downward spirals. As the story unfolds and the issues affecting each of these relationships are uncovered, the film paints a vivid picture of the different ways that such themes can quickly bring ruin to relationships, and, in the case of some of the film’s characters, lives.
Since the event that had happened with the flirty freshman Natalie made it her duty to educate the girls of Ross Academy “female values.” Not only did Natalie want the girls to act differently but, she wanted all of them to stop giving all the power to boys. “Forcing girls to be ashamed for doing the things that come natural to them — it's a ridiculous double standard, and we should all, frankly, tell anyone who judges us to screw off. It's as if our girls don't understand that they can be recognized for other things--their goals, their brains. Not just their bodies.” (Vivian 238) Overall, this was a great representation of the book because the main idea of the lock-in and Natalie's presentation was to inform the girls of her school that they shouldn’t be boy originated. It was great to conclude the book with this because it was a great take away. This quote is saying how girls shouldn’t be materialized for their bodies but, their brains and
In Leslie Morgan Steiner’s, “Crazy Love”, Leslie initially did not leave because she felt she was in love but this delusional love takes a sharp turn into isolation, intimidation, physical, emotional and economical abuse. Not wanting to be the sole reason of breaking her family apart, ruining Conors image, and becoming embarrassed that people would judge her, she stays. Conor used isolation in a way by controlling who she talks to in every aspect that he can by trying to keep her as distant as possible between her and family and friends. Even going to the extreme of relocating to Vermont, leaving her with no other option but him, sticking with him through the abuse.
Naomi came to Justin’s school a few months ago and was in two of his classes. From the day she walked in through the doors Justin immediately began to fall in love with her.

Naomi came to Park Vista Community High School because the parents and principle of the school complained that students were selling illegal drugs on school
The Breakfast Club is such an interesting movie to use with this topic. The wide range of characters allows for a variety of different interactions. The way we are going to approach this, is to look at each character and examine the different interactions between.
Pat starts to become uninterested in continuing with the dance competition, which makes Tiffany upset as she was looking forward to it.

A few days after, at the competition, to everyone’s surprise, Nikki did in fact attend the dance competition and Pat is excited to see her.

When this assignment was given out, I instantly knew exactly what relationship I wanted to analyze: my ex-boyfriend’s and my relationship.

Question have you ever thought about the different Interpersonal Communication theories/concepts we use on a daily basis, I have thought about it long and hard to figure out how many different communication theories in our life we use or even in a favorite movie we love to watch. In this essay I will be writing an analysis paper on the movie “The Notebook its about a young man named Noah Calhoun from South Carolina he met a rich girl named Allie they fell desperately in love, but her parents don 't approve of him so when Noah goes off to serve in World War II, it seems to mark the end of their love affair.

Many years later they meet again on several occasions but the intensifying stage does not resume until they finally become friends and share details about their past failed relationships. During this period they start spending a considerable amount of time together and their expression of feelings toward the other becomes more intense. We see the beginnings of a true interpersonal relationship development.
It is often said that all good things come to an end. Relationships come and go, and some mean more than others. In fact, there was even a relationship model developed by a communication researcher by the name of Mark Knapp. In his model, he goes through what seems to be presented as a smooth step transition from each stage in which a relationship eventually evolves into. As I studied this up then down ladder model, I began to realize that I ought to build up some strong calf muscles, because my relationship sure has climbed up and down a few flights of stairs. Mark Knapp believes that relationships go through multiple stages, the uphill stages being initiation, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, bonding, then relational maintenance. On the flip side, Knapp believes the descending stages to be differentiating, circumscribing, avoiding, and eventually, termination.
