The Movie ' Scent Of A Woman '

Charlie’s friendship with Jasper Jones, his parents, and witnessing the intolerance of Corrigan are the three biggest factors in Charlie's development from innocence to experience. Jasper Jones exposed him to fear and forced him to be brave and face his fears, the rampant intolerance in Corrigan, both racial and otherwise, exposed him to the injustices of the real world, and his relationship with his parents taught him to be diplomatic and control his

To begin, three brothers, Lafayette, Charlie, and Ty’ree were orphaned due to the tragic death of their parents. Over the course of two days, Lafayette (the narrator) includes flashbacks to earlier events. After spending over two years in Rahway Home for Boys, a juvenile detention center, Charlie recently returned home. Watching Charlie get ready to leave the apartment with his new friend Aaron, Lafayette laments the changes that have become apparent in his brothers actions since he came home.

Charles got a job at the newspaper warehouse, but he wasn’t a good employee. His boss and co-workers believed he was stupid. He would fail to complete even the simplest of tasks. He made barely enough to pay rent, and sometimes it wasn’t even enough for that. When rent wasn’t in on time, his landlord would lock him out. The one reason he chose that job was because he worked right next to Caril’s school, and he could see her as soon as she got out every day.

Charlie’s friends even take advantage of how nice he is. They always make him the root of their jokes. When Charlie asks a barber shop owner to move his illegally parked car, the owner laughs at him and just throws him the keys to the car and tells him to move it himself.

The only thing this confession has done for him is make his feelings grow and send him in a downward spiral of

Cheever’s purpose was to tell a cautionary tale about meeting people placed on pedestals, but also explores themes of identity, disappointment, and estrangement, which is all accomplished through character interaction. Due to his parents divorced three years ago, Charlie had almost no relationship with his father, thus he initially views him as a stranger. Charlie's initial excitement over meeting with his father again is quickly tempered down when his father takes him several restaurants for lunch and is incredibly impertinent to the staff at every single restaurant instead of attempting to make a connection with his son. His only attempt at conversation with him was to “cross question[ him] about the baseball season”, it appears though Charlie had no part in bringing up the subject.

The film Amelie provides multiple examples of individuals sacrificing, and applying Campbell 's moral objective to their own lives. One of the people from the film that follow the objective is Dominique Bretodeau. When he was a young boy, he lost his treasure box. Directly after it was returned to him from a stranger, he began to tear up over the lost memories that the box contained. He then confides in people at the bar that he has not spoken to his daughter in years, and because of this does not know his grandson. This simple act of kindness was enough to make Bretodeau sacrifice his pride enough to reconcile with his daughter and grandson. He had no idea if his family was going to open their arms, or push him away for being away for so long. This failed to stop Bretodeau. This journey of becoming a hero was a spiritual one. Most of the conflict happened within his own heart. A small act of thoughtfulness helped a man choose to create a better life for him, and his estranged family.
