The Movie Oliver

Pleasantville is a movie where significant change occurs based on the theories of social change. In the movie, the TV show Pleasantville is set in the 1950’s and everything and everyone in that show is in black and white. And being that they’re set in the 1950’s the have the same outdated morals, values and beliefs that are associated with 1950’s culture. However, the town of Pleasantville slowly but surely turns into colour when they go against their societal norms and beliefs and have sex, read, paint, express emotions and many other things. Pleasantville portrays a town that is ready and is in need of social change and how social changes are required for humanity to progress. One could say that the colour changes in Pleasantville are viewed as a bad thing because it would mean that you broke a societal value or norm in Pleasantville where everything is always perfect. However, David and Jennifer prove to the locals that the colour change is anything but bad and how it allows them to express every facet of their minds and not be stuck in the same roles and routines day in and day out. These sociological, anthropological and psychological changes are needed when trying to move forward as a society and Jennifer and David have helped Pleasantville expand their horizons.

Bobby, a young troubled man, Was raised by his father, a professional con artist after the death of his mother. From a very young age Bobby was exposed to the criminal acts of his father and was taught to lead the same path.

The American Revolution is almost like the civil war but, it is split in three parts instead of two, happened in late 1700s. The movie, The Patriot, is a fictional movie that shows us the battles and life during American Revolution. Some people were forced to fight because their family members died and some did not fight because they did not wanted to risk their family even though both sides are die-hearted patriot. Family could make people do anything. The producers of the movie The Patriot, Dean Devlin, Mark Gordon, and Gary Levinsohn, chose a composite of different colonists, like Francis Marion, Colonel Daniel Morgan, Elijah Clark, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Pickens, to make Benjamin Martin look better and the hero with no fault what-so-ever.

Bobby has other plans and has no problem at all with his decision, he wants them to go, like yesterday. He could care less if they are having some ritual or a blood-sucking at midnight or howling at the full moon at twelve after, just as long as they are far away from him as possible, that way he could finally be alone with Maureen. Now he was going to speak up and speed up the process of getting them the hell on their

This is one of the reasons I think Bobby has come of age. In the nextparagraph i'm going to tell another reason how Bobby has come of age.""The second reason to how Bobby has come of age is he is losing his old identity andgaining a new one as he is coming of age. In the book "The First Part Last" he spray paints awall. This wall symbolizes all his positive memories from being a kid all the way to when Featherwas born. Then Johnson goes on to say, "Finally it's just me and that thing in the baby carrierwho doesn't have a face" (pg.60). In this chapter he wants to find the baby's face but he can't. Ina few chapters after that Angela says "I climb the stairs and think about holding her, or maybeI'm really thinking about just holding on to her"(pg.75). He realized Feather is the missing piece inhis life and he wants to keep it that way and not lose her. He needs to lose his old partying anddoing whatever he wants identity and get a new mature and father like identity in order to dothat.This has to do with Angela Johnson's discussion regarding coming of age because he has tochange so much to be mature it's like he's gaining a new identity and growing up.This is anotherreason I think Bobby has come of age.

And this quote means that bobby has lost respect for himself and his friends have lost respect for him. This makes bobby feel upset because no one respects him and now he is treated as if he wasn't even there.

In conclusion, yes, Bobby is going through some hard times and we all have our days. Now we are all learning from our mistakes and we become better people from our mistakes cause we learn from what the consequences are. Bobby has become a more mature and "manly" and has started taking responsibility for his actions. I learned from this book that making mistakes is okay because in the long run we learn and grow from

He somehow seems to think that they made handkerchiefs and went to an execution. “The Jew” has also been introduced. I found out that his name is Fagin. Oliver definitely didn’t know that they were thieves. Cause when he sees them steal, he is so shocked that he runs away and gets falsely accused of being the thief. :( His innocence is so sad and cute.

A symbol that is shown is the symbol of the arcade, and children playing games. Bobby will see these children, or talk of what his friends are doing in the arcade; furthermore, it shows that Bobby wants to be a kid again. A symbol that is also shown is the symbol of the bubblegum. The bubblegum found on page 108 shows that he feels the temptation to leave Feather behind, and to just have his life be easy and simple. These symbols all show his longing to be a kid again, but he doesn’t follow these promptings. Bobby always seems to only glance at these symbols, but not put them to action. He doesn’t want to leave Feather all alone, even if it is hard. Another thing that Bobby does throughout the book is he censors himself. Instead of speaking out loud, he stops himself. On page forty-two, Bobby thinks to himself while the teacher is talking, and doesn’t try to contradict what the teacher is saying. He tries his hardest to just listen and keep the situation from getting worse. Throughout the book, Bobby says that he sometimes wants to be like Feather. He even acts like he is Feather’s brother on page 82 saying, “Yeah, she’s easy to deal with, my sister,” in order to get out of the responsibility of being a parent, yet he still has to take care of Feather at the end of the day. “This must be what made my mom’s eyes narrow and nasty words come out of her mouth. This must be what helped give my dad an ulcer and that look on his face that says-what next (Page 33)?” Bobby is able to realize that what he has done has changed the lives of his parents, and it has made the situation harder for his family overall. He feels bad, saying, “I feel worse because I’m taking my dad’s smile and probably some more things he’ll never talk about (Page 74),” and he sees that he might have taken his dad’s smile away. He feels guilty, and therefore decides that he will do as much as he can without his parent’s help. This

Secondly, the characters in the novel, Bobby and Dr. Barney, teach that it is vital to hold on to hope because everyone has a future, regardless of the present and their past. Bobby shows things can change for the better with his discovery of his true home. Bobby announces at Six North that “This kid literally gave me the shirt off his back, the blue one right here and he didn’t know me from the Adam, and there ain’t no questions, without him, I wouldn’t have gotten this home. This new home” (Vizzini 317). Bobby lived in his car last year until a tow truck took away everything he had. Consequently, he loses hope and wants to kill himself. At Six North, Craig helps Bobby with a job interview. Through Craig’s act of kindness, Bobby learns that his true home is Six North where he is and welcomed and appreciated for who he is. Furthermore, Dr. Barney tells Craig about his personal experience with depression. He eventually reveals to Craig the secret to depression:

Like bobby’s mother said “ your arcade days are over brother” bobby has to change. The arcade shows the life he had before he had feather. Bobby still thinks about his own needs a lot like a child still. Bobby is trying to grow up ,but still hasn’t learned the importance of his role in this baby’s life. Booby understands that he has to do more for his child and not himself.

Bobby goes with his pregnant girlfriend, Nia, to her first appointment that is going to confirm whether or not she is really pregnant and to make sure that both her and the baby are doing okay. Bobby is sitting in the waiting room looking at a shelf full of skiing trophies. While looking at the trophies he is thinking about how he wants to not have a care in the world. "And dream that I have just sailed into the wind on skis, way into the wind, out of reach" (29). The thought of having a child scares Bobby and he just wants to disappear. In spite of that, he is still sitting in the waiting room. Bobby is maturing, even if it may be slowly.
