Ree In The Ozarks

Throughout majority of the movie you think the guy is doing everything wrong. You start to question his parenting skills when you see that their apartment is filled with toys, and that he doesn’t send her to school but instead go to Disneyland. Then, the twist comes and you realize that you've been seeing things all wrong. He just wants his daughter to have the best life and spent the most possible time with her, because he found out that her daughter is going to die. Despite the movie being in mostly Spanish, the message translated through this film will tug at your heartstrings. From the beginning to the end there is combinations of laughs and emotions that through one way or another anyone can relate. It talks about the challenges and sacrifices parents have to face for their children. It also shows, that parents go out of their way and will risk many things to protect their children from getting hurt, even from their own families.

The film demonstrates the growth of a child through Maggie and several stages of her childhood years, while also showing us the characteristics and hardworking skills it takes for a single parent to step up and take responsibility over a child.

The movie Parenthood is a great movie to watch. It delivers a good message about parenting, life struggles, and love. Just as grandma stated that life was like a roller coaster, up and down, up and down. Each sibling of the Buckman family has struggles in his or her own family. Helen Buckman, as a single mom stands out the most to me.

I was aware of intersexuality however I had never been expose to a such a material where you can see their way of life and their struggles. It was very interesting to see a different perspective because I'm used to see the westernize view of transgenders. It was very eye opening to explore another culture I had little to none information about. It taught me the struggle some people have to go thru due to their nonconformity. This film makes me compare my cultures point of view on internsexuality. I come from El Salvador a place where the culture is very conservative, however there are still many cases where people is intersexual. In my culture this kind of individuals are neither accepted nor rejected. Yet, when you have an individual in your family that is intersexual is seen as shameful. This makes me relate to the film because ei have seen the way families deal with this type of

It is also very sad that his dad died in the car accident and that her whole family was in the car and his leg got stuck so the car fell off the cliff and died. Also she is very young to have to deal with his dad being dead and his mother being kidnapped. And with the help of her friends she will be able to save her mom.

This creates sympathy for Christine, as she is misunderstood by many people in her life. After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, she decides to go back to the reservation so that Rayona will be looked after once she is gone. Before going to Ida’s house, Christine and Rayona stop at a video cassette store. While Rayona doesn’t understand why they are doing this, Christine thinks this will give her daughter something to remember her by. She chooses two movies which she thinks are good ‘souvenirs’ of her life. Not only does the lack of comprehension between mother and daughter create sympathy, the fact that she is dying also develops sympathy and the fact that she is trying to do her best to provide for her daughter under these circumstances creates poignant and wistful

I thought this book was well written. It had a good plot with a couple twists and turns thrown in there. The plot of the story also held many different types of emotion. Therefore, it was sad at some points, happy and exciting, or even surprising at times in the story. I also thought that the book gave off a strong message/theme that applies to the real world. Next,

The film thrives on the renewed bond between mother and daughter. Tilly returns to her hometown to visit her mother and discovers her mother suffering from dementia and the house in a state of neglect. “Look what they’ve done to you!” Tilly exclaims. Tilly cleans up the house, and bathes and feeds her mother, not

Reflection: I think it is sad for what Diane grew up in. She did not get to see her father often and she did not have it easy. It was good that she knew that her family will always help her in difficult situations. She learned that no matter how hard life gets that she will always have a family by her side.

At first, snippets of Kerewin’s thoughts appear in the text, though it is not immediately clear whose thoughts are being relayed: “He turns his back to her. Ratbag, smartass, and sulky with it” (25). Here, early in the novel, Kerewin reflects on Simon’s exhausted demeanor, from the first person, but the transition feels disruptive, rather than intuitive. However, as the story progresses, the interjections begin to feel natural, and give the reader a view into characters who often seem impenetrable. As the focal character shifts , between all three, so do the thoughts Hulme presents. Through this, the ways in which the characters think and relate can become visible, such as Joe’s initial assessment of Kerewin, “Sometimes she seems ordinary. She is lonely, She drinks like I do, to keep away the ghosts. She’s an outsider, like me” (101). From this, the reader is familiarized with Joe’s opinion of Kerewin, but also Joe’s personal insecurities and conflict, with alcoholism and

In my opinion, I do agree with the author’s point of view. As she talks about the children,

By defying her father’s wishes and running away, she loses what little societal power she had when she was connected to her father. While running away, she gained a sense of power by rebelling against her father. By going against her father’s wishes she goes against gender norms and solidifies who her identity as a person and not as an object. She is no longer connected to her father and is not seen as a possession by

The film is well written, leaving nice little subtleties in the dialogue that allows the viewer to form their own analysis of Minori and her struggle to find her own identity.

This film highlights the fact that a parent would do anything to provide for their family. In this case, Ricci waited patiently in line for a job to support his family. His wife gave up her linen sheet so that her family could survive. Ricci at the end, tried to steal a bicycle himself just to make a better life for his family. These are all examples of the sacrifices parents have to make, especially if they are a part of the working class. Ricci send Bruno away when he was about commit the act, because he didn’t want to impact his son negatively. In addition, parents are caring and doesn’t want any harm to come to their children. Another example is when Ricci taught it was Bruno drowning, he responds quickly to that situation because he cares about his son. Overall, the love parents have for their children is beyond measured.

The theme of resilience is also demonstrated when Adeline gets her new stepmother. Adeline shows an unbelievable amount of resilience for a child her age, passing the point where many people would break. She tolerates the evil stepmother and endures the lack of attention
