Bobby moves in with his brother so he can still have help with the baby. Bobby has now come of age where he has to make adult decisions for him and Feather. “Just Frank” represents a real man in the story.

As Bobby is putting Feather into her crib, he drops his basketball and it rolls from the crib, to his mom’s room. This shows coming of age because his basketball (his childhood) is rolling away from him because now he has to grow up and take care of Feather.

While watching “The Philadelphia Story”, there were many occasions where deviant behavior can be observed from the characters. Every character’s actions are impacted and labeled by the theories somehow no matter what the deviant act was. Different theories were used to label some of the deviant acts in different ways according to the deviant act they committed. The three examples that I felt were very noticeable to the social deviant theories were: Dexter’s unannounced return and actions for Traci’s wedding, Traci’s behavior the night before the wedding and with Dexter, and Macaulay’s actions the night before Traci’s wedding and snooping around her family. I believe that Dexter’s and Macaulay Connor’s can be connected to the Anomie theory, and Traci’s behavior can be connected with the Labeling theory. Each theory goes hand in hand with the deviant act that was committed by the person. Both the Anomie and Labeling theory are used in different ways by each character’s actions.
Before meeting Gwen, he didn’t have a sense of identity. He has asked his father numerous of times about where he was born but his father kept changing the name of the places. Bobby’s mother died when he was young and he didn’t have her around to ask her these questions. Bobby really didn’t know who he was all his life. Even when he was taking in to prison, “[he’s] been documented, but even they’d had to make it up, take your name as much on faith as you. You have no social security number or birth certificate, no passport. You’ve never held a job” (651). Bobby feels that he doesn’t exist in this world and there’s no track of him on where he was born. How can someone live half of his life not knowing his real name is? His identity was living with his father’s identity by telling Bobby what to do when it comes to committing crimes. He doesn’t know what other things he could have done because this is all he knew. Bobby didn’t choose this life even though he was grown enough to make his own decisions. He felt that this is where he belongs and nowhere

Bound by Southern ideals, growing up in the 1940s and 1950s was a battle of change and resistance. As outside social influences began to meander into the lives of those living in the South, children were veering off the path of what a normal, obedient Southern child should act like. As observed in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” and The Princess and the Frog, defying Southern norms was difficult. These stories had significant relational themes whether is was the unsaid battle of acceptance between Brick and Big Daddy, the internal conflicting allegiance Bailey felt for his mother, or the stereotypical Southern life Eudora had envisioned for Tiana.
The film chronicles the histories of three fathers, and manages to relates and link their events and situations. First is Mitchell Stephens and his relationship with his drug-addict daughter. Second is Sam, and the secret affair he is having with his young daughter Nicole. He is somewhat of a narcissistic character because of his preoccupation with himself and pleasing himself, and his lack of empathy throughout the film for the others in the town. Third is Billy, who loves his two children so much that he follows behind the school bus every day waving at them. Billy is also having an affair with a married woman who owns the town’s only motel. On the exterior the town is an average place with good people just living their lives. But, beneath all the small town simplicity is a web of lies and secrets, some which must be dealt with in the face of this tragedy.
In the sources used, the situations that are experienced seems like there is no hope to be found, only fear. Fear will protect us, we hope. Nevertheless, hope is everywhere no matter what. For World War II in The Diary of Anne Frank, Anne Frank is the secret annex’s hope. Anne Frank is a 13-year old girl that has the most hope of surviving the Nazi Invasion. All you can think is, “Ah, the Nazi’s are coming! Run for your lives!” That is what went through many minds during this time period, fear. Fear is a strong ally to have. You can worry all the time and no one will stop you. But, hope can be an even stronger ally, if you believe.

The wall helps him express his feelings of the situations that have been occurring. Bobby feels alone, he feels lost in this world, and he doesn't know himself anymore. He feels like a ghost, no one can see him and he can't see himself like he once could because he is so different. Nia in the painting is the one everyone is feeling sympathy for and is getting all the attention, and it makes Bobby feel like he doesn't even matter. The baby is the only thing Bobby can look forward to, but even when he thinks about his old like he thinks about how his brothers are there one moment, but when its all over there gone. The colors he used express the feelings even more. The black represent his pain, the red represent the blood and bruises, and the blue represents his depression. He knows that for now on he keeps his feelings together, he is the man of the family, and he has to care for his family and be

1. My first impression of the story was the setting reminds me of a fall day in Michigan. It was dark and cool so it reminds me of my childhood in the mornings getting ready for school. At first I thought it was something like a family trip for the guys before the characters where describe. The thought of a young boy on a trip into manhood with his father and Uncle. As the story goes along my impression changes over time to its a story about life circle and the development of a young man 's understanding about life at the hands of his father.
