    ...ng himself or his family, he seems to know an awful lot about life and how things ought to be. The part of Mike seems to be the most likely of the characters to be the mouth piece for the shows creators, writers and producers. Rarely is Mike made to look silly or ignorant. On occasion Archie will have the upper hand but for the most part when Mike and Archie are debating, Mike through a well articulated view is usually the victor.

    Mike Otis is a main character that is certainly not popular at Don Carey High. He is an unusual person who is shy and he keeps to himself. He always wears a big raincoat and safety pins in his jeans. Mike is a dweeb who minds his own business. Mike was also a paranoid person. For example, he gave the wrong address and phone number to the school so if something happened they could not contact him.

  • Character Analysis Of Detective Maya Vasquez

    Michael is a static character (unlike Molly he doesn’t change much throughout the show), a white male, and a talented computer hacker. Michael is significantly younger than the other main characters and serves as some of the comic relief for the show. He is the third character in the dysfunctional trio (Maya, Celina, Michael). Together they all have different strengths and though they’re reluctant to be grouped together sometimes, they round each other out. Michael comes from a middle-class background, does well in school, and does not have any of the barriers up against him that the other characters have had. Three words to describe Michael: gifted, immature,

    The second family that I interviewed was the Lyles family. Both Bro. Scotty, the father, and Mrs. Yolanda, the mother, participated in the interview and three of their children were in the room. Bro. Scotty was born and raised in Alba, Texas on the very same tree farm that he owns and operates today; he is also a deacon at our church. However, Mrs. Yolanda was born and raised in Guatemala. As a child she was raised Catholic, and is part of a large and growing family. She is one of eight children. Their family as well as anybody else in that culture celebrated their daughter’s 15th birthday with a Quinceañera which marked the transition from childhood to young womanhood. This was traditionally the first time the girls would wear make-up, nice

    In keeping with that spirit, we thought about the many things that Mike did to make us laugh. We remember the time he worked for Menna's meats as a delivery boy. Even while at work he would make us laugh. He would drive by the silver beach parking lot, while we were playing football, in a huge cream colored thunderbird doing his deliveries. As he would pull around the turn we knew it was Mike. As he passed by he would be wearing a huge orange colored crash helmet while giving us the thumbs up, man we would laugh hysterically.

  • The 15-Minute Family Interview

    Kaakinen, Gedaly-Duff, Coehlo & Hanson, (2010) report family is the biggest resource for managing care of individuals with chronic illness; family members are the main caregivers and provide necessary continuity of care. Therefore, it is important for health care providers to develop models of care based on an understanding what families are going through (Eggenberger, Meiers, Krumwiede, Bliesmer, & Earle, 2011). The family I chose to interview is in the middle of a transition in family dynamics. I used the family as a system approach as well as a structure-function theoretical framework to the effects of the changes in dynamic function. Additionally, the combinations of genogram, ecomap, adaptations of the Friedman Family Assessment model as well as Wright & Leahey’s 15 minute family interview were utilized.

    For that, I interviewed my boss, Karen. I see her almost every work day but there were still many things I wanted to ask her about. I knew that she had been married to a man before she met her wife, and that she still had his last name even after separating and remarrying. I also knew that her father was a Methodist minister and performed her marriage ceremony back when he could’ve gotten in a lot of hot water for doing so. I knew that she was adopted, too. But the rest of her life, the in-between moments, were still a mystery to me. So, I really enjoyed that interview. As you can tell from the transcription, we laughed a lot and got along well. I think she felt comfortable and she told me later that she had enjoyed talking with me. I also came more prepared and with more questions. It was hard to do my initial research on my student interviewee because there wasn’t a lot of prior information that I could find about her. With Karen, I not only had my own prior information, but she is also easily found on the internet. A lot of that has to do with her age and the businesses she has been involved

  • The Art Of Fielding Relationships Essay

    1001 Words  | 3 Pages

    Henry leaving gave him the opportunity to create a better life for himself, which is ironic since his relationship with Mike ultimately ruins his future. Nevertheless, Henry viewed Mike as a savior and suffered through “twelve long lonely weeks before he’d finally called”. The language used by Harbach to describe Henry's original feelings about Mike, portrays Mikes as some sort of religious prophet. He felt isolated and alone and when he reconciled with Mike, Henry worshiped him. The pain Henry encounters during his time without Mike was the first sign that Henry's mental health was weakened by their relationship. Henry did anything and everything to please Mike and as a result of his obedience, Mike adored Henry. Mike enables Henry’s addictive behavior by giving him positive feedback for his obsessive behavior. He pushes Henry during the baseball season to his breaking point, his first error. When Henry makes his first mistake, to end his record breaking streak, he cannot cope with the failure. Mike coaches Henry to believe that achieving perfection is the sole purpose of his life. Henry not being able to achieve the goal set by Mike results in Henry falling into a dark depression and anorexia. Instead of Mike turning to a professional for help, he believed that he could save Henry. Similarly to what he did with Henry’s obsession over perfection, Mike enabled Henry’s self destructive

    I feel that his first major challenge was when he went to Shriners hospital for the first time to receive the rodding treatment and had to stay for months on end without seeing his family daily. During his hospitalization, Mike developed a deep devotion for the Chicago Cubs and when he would finally get to go home this strengthened the bond between father and son more than ever. A challenge for Mike- although it was with good intentions- was being singled out. At graduation for example, the crowd had given him a standing ovation when he received his diploma, but Mike did not feel that it was deserved and was more so a pity applause.
