I like how Dean tries to do anything to keep his family together, because we can basically say he's never had one because his mom leaving his family at an early age, and of course the last thing he wants to happen to his family is to fall apart like his parents did. I also think that Cindy, more than anything she was expecting more from him, since she had more education and a better job than him and they kind of discuss about using his talents because she wants more from him. I know Dean talks about the way of life he has, how he enjoys it and how he is happy with it. Having a job, being his own boss, drinking a beer at 8 in the morning and coming home early to spend time with his family. She believes he has so much more the potential in life.
These two movies can relate to the text in different ways. The biggest relation to the text I find is the relationship development. Between Dean and Cindy we can see the entire cycle of a romantic relationship development in Chapter 7. The initiation when

they first meet in her grandma’s home care. Experimenting when they start hanging out and doing silly things in the streets.
Intensifying when now they are dating and keep falling in love. Integrating when Cindy goes and tries to perform the abortion, and he is the only one that has the will to help her and later on bonding when they finally get married. Even though the movie is kind of sliced in these stages you can still see how the stages follow up. In the beginning of the movie you can see how the relationship starts falling apart, some of the disagreements is when they see the dog escapes “again”, and they don’t spend too much time together since her job requires her to spend a lot of time away from home so they are not talking to each other very much, and when they are together they don’t talk too much and she is kind of avoiding him. The times they get to talk they are arguing and getting nowhere. One of the most remarkable moments is when they are in the getaway hotel and they are still arguing about why he doesn’t use his abilities for more and Dean says:
“Listen I didn't want to be somebody's husband and I didn't want to be somebody's dad. That wasn't my goal in life. For some guys it is... Wasn't mine. But somehow, it was what I wanted. I didn't know that and now it's all I want to do... I don't want to do anything else it's what I want to do.” This line remembered me of something else that we covered in class, which is the Johari’s window also in Chapter 7. In this part of the movie he is revealing stuff that she didn’t really know and probably the movie would have been a lot different. So this was an example of moving stuff from the hidden area to the open area of Dean’s window. Not expressing all feelings and thoughts was a bad choice but it became a good choice when the only thing she had was him. Another thing from the text that relates to the Blue Valentine movie is the resolving interpersonal conflict in Chapter 8. Almost the whole movie is about trying to rescue their marriage. It kind of evolves into a destructive conflict when they start expressing their discomfort with each other and what not. The style of conflict evolved from a compromising style to an accommodation style for example when Dean knows that Cindy is pregnant and offers to help her, and she is taking the opportunity since she doesn’t have many other choices. Later on when she is working at the clinic and she’s getting a better job opportunity despite the intentions of the doctor, she feels pressured on the decision making of moving the entire family. This is when she starts showing the discomfort that she has for having the higher paying job and contributing income to the house. After they argue at the hotel and at the clinic when she goes to work Dean tries to resolve the issue asking her what she wants him to do, begging her not to ask for the divorce. In Don Juan De Marco we don't really see a relationship development but we see a relationship being revived between Dr. Mickler and his wife. But the main thing that Don Juan is characterized for is his perceptions towards women which makes him the greatest lover of all. One of my favorite scenes where he is being asked if he is aware that he is in a mental hospital, and then he starts going on to describe his views about the behavior of women and why; and I quote Don Juan: “By seeing beyond what is visible to the eye. Now there are those, of course, who do not share my perceptions, it's true. When I say that all my woman are dazzling beauties, they object. The nose of this one is too large; the-the hips of another, they are too wide... But I see these women for how they truly are... glorious, radiant, spectacular, and perfect, because, I am not limited by my eyesight. Women react to me the way that they do, Don Octavio, because they sense that I search out the beauty that dwells within until it overwhelms everything else. And then they cannot avoid their desire, to release that beauty and envelope me in it.” Perception is the process in which you select, organize and interpret sensory stimuli in the world around you. This helps you determine how you interpret and evaluate experiences and people you encounter in life. In this movie we can see the Dr. Mickler pays close attention to everything Don Juan tells him. He is learning Don Juan’s perception of the world. This gives the doctor the ability to change his way of thinking and keeping in mind the relationship with his wife. Every session with Don Juan has an impact on the doctor and his wife, helping him revive the relationship and finally opening that new chapter of their marriage. Overall I enjoyed watching both movies. In conclusion, Blue Valentine is a good example to show the romantic relationship stages and also illustrates some conflict styles and conflict resolution ideas. Don Juan De Marco is a movie a little hard to follow, especially for the kind of language used by Don Juan. This movie shows two relationships between the Dr. Mickler and Don Juan and the relationship between Dr. Mickler and his wife where listening to Don Juan’s stories affect this relationship and help revive the doctor’s marriage. Also like I described it above, it shows a good example of the perception of love.
Another similarity in the book and movie is that the characters have to go against their morals in order to decide what to do in certain situations. An example of this in the book is when Skip realises he would have to trespass and steal in order for him to keep himself and his friends alive. Or in...
The complication between characters is especially shown in Anna and Sarah’s relationship. In the movie Anna is mad about Sarah coming to stay for a month. However, in the book she says “I wished everything was as perfect as the stone. I wished that Papa and Caleb and I were perfect for Sarah” (21). In the book Anna has no trouble liking Sarah, but in the movie Anna has a hard time letting go of her real mother and will not let Sarah get close to her. It is not until Sarah comforts Anna after a bad dream and tells her “when I was ten my mamma died” (which was not told in the book) that Sarah and Anna have a close relationship. After Sarah and Anna reach an understanding, Sarah tries to help Anna remember her mother by putting her mother’s candlesticks, quilt, a painting, and her picture back into the house. They also put flowers on her grave together. However, Anna and Sarah’s relationship is not the only one that takes a while to develop.

What is the meaning of the word “relationship”? Most of us hear this word every day, in other words “a state of affairs existing between those having relations and dealings. There are four types of relationships: couple, family, and friend. Most of the relationships can be difficult, romantic relationship seem to be the most complicated types. Sometimes two lovers can care for each others, yet they cannot talk to each others. When a problem occurs between two people for a long time, it most likely will get to a fight and most of the time to end the relationship. While watching The Break-Up movie, showed a lot of elements of the interpersonal relationships. The movie talked about two couple stayed together for a long time. And they started to fight about minor stuff that leads to end the relationship.
...re the reader is not able to make any solid connection with any of these characters. It is arguably only through the stories foreshadowing where both authors prepare us with little details like the mileage of the car written down by the grandmother in O’Connor’s story likewise the boys preparation of the stones in Jackson’s Lottery that would inevitably help the reader to comprehend how both these author’s reached the horrifically shocking climatic endings in both short stories. I believe the authors similar use of these three variables help the reader to understand the message being delivered through these stories of the human condition and its effects on a society that only embraces its traditional moral beliefs and values.
The writer’s descriptive writing style to create an imagery of the novel’s setting and the emotions of how each character is going through in their POV is an artistic masterpiece. The miniseries adapts from that novel, and while there are many similarities, the film offers some new scenes that were originally not from the book and vice versa. Elizabeth Strout’s Olive Kitteridge directly focuses on the key negative themes such as depression, suicide, familial and romantic relationships and their conflicts, and aging in time. The film adapted from the novel and combined some of the chapters together to create a new episode that separate itself from the book completely.
Directed by Rob Reiner, When Harry Met Sally (1989), begins as Harry Burns and Sally Albright, two University of Chicago graduates, leave for their post-graduate lives in NYC. During the trip they both discuss various things, relating to themselves, and men and women in general.

They meet again a few years later on an airplane, where they discuss Sally’s one-month relationship, with Joe, and Harry’s upcoming marriage to Helen. Six years later, they meet again, this time at a bookstore, where it’s revealed that Sally and Joe broke up, as did Harry and Helen, who are now divorced. They soon form a friendship and go through a rollercoaster of emotions trying to figure out their feelings. Eventually at a New Years Eve Party, they reveal their love for each other.
... class. This book was actually one of most interesting books I’ve read while I’ve been in college, and this course kept me interested the whole semester. The things it has taught me about the meaning of reading and evaluating other people and their personalities and who they really are. It actually came to mind a couple times, maybe I want to be a psychologist and help people with their problems. It just really amazes me how Perry’s dad can literally be the cause of four innocent lives gone. Throughout reading the book and watching both films, I began better at reading people and observing their personalities not only with the characters in the book but also outside the classroom and in the real world. The fact that everyone has a story and reasons they are the way they are. Perry had a story that no one knew about, and it has just taught me that everyone has one
"Interpersonal attraction refers to positive feelings about another person. It can take many forms, including liking, love, friendship, lust, and admiration" (spark notes). Sometimes these kinds of relationships can happen between individuals that people meet throughout their daily lives. For any relationship to exist or last,last there has to be effective communication. Communication is a major factor used to either build up or tear down interpersonal relationships. Also, having effective listening skills helps the relationship become stronger. In the movie, 50 First Dates, there are many instances where interpersonal relationships are illustrated. This paper will discuss the different types of interpersonal relationships that are found in the movie, as well as how important communication is in a relationship to keep that bond strong and last.
After watching the movie “The Break Up”, I can say that the protagonist Brooke Meyers and Gary Brobowski are a couple that live together in a condo where they share everything and care about each other. From the beginning to the end of the movie the couple experience different changes in their relationship, which start when they met in a baseball game, and end up when they decide to break up. This movie have clear examples of the different stages of interpersonal relationships, and how they affect us and our lives.

Love comes in all forms with no discrimination to sex, age, and ethnicity. The human kind is constantly searching for it, and chasing it, and many times scared to let it go even if it is harmful. In order to understand what is love we must solve the mystery of why humans are so fascinated with love and will do anything to get it.
There are many ideas in this world that you can turn into separate categories. Examples are types of teachers, types of books, and more. In this essay the reader will be able to learn the differences between three types of movies. These types of movies include, romance, horror, and comedy. Now, there are many upon many romance movies but how do we distinguish them from one another? Is it the sex scenes, the lovey dovey affections we see between the characters? We cannot know for sure. Horror movies are downright the best (just kidding, people prefer other types rather than horror), yet again, how do we distinguish these movies from others? Blood and gore? Or simply a mental beat up that the audience gets? Finally, it’s the same way with comedy
