Frank has an interesting view on the way man has progressed morally. I think that he says that we don’t really know our morals until we have them truly questioned. In this he implies that the people who have strong morals, not only will stay true to them, but will survive. An example of this is Randy Bragg. Randy, on the day of nuclear fallout, stopped on the side of the road to help a woman. This shows that he has respect for the human race as a whole. The opposite of this was Edgar Quisenbury. Edgar valued nothing but money. In the end, the absence of money caused Edgar to become an example of Darwin’s “Only the strong” theory as he shot himself.
Opinion: Why do you think Frank has confessed at this time? What is his motive? Has he underestimated his brother, or has he estimated correctly?
In the very first twenty-four hours of living together, two middle aged men who have never met before jump from being at each others throats, to being best friends in a matter of only five minutes during the movie. Knowing how people slowly trust one another, makes this movie hard to believe.
They end up falling in love with each other and getting married. They even have a daughter and Anne still does not know who the fat man really is and what he has done with her brother. Anne ends up putting everything together and she realizes who the fat man is and what he has done, the fat man quickly disappears. She put the fact that she married her brother’s killer in the back of her mind and she thought he was okay because he never killed anyone again. Anne starts to lose everyone she cares about and she gets overwhelmed with her feelings. Even her daughter has enough of it after Anne tells her the story about the fat man. Anne has no one left and it takes a toll, “There was no way to escape this dread anymore, this pendulum between regret and forgiveness” (242). No brothers, no parents, no husband, and now no daughter.
...uous activities he took part in at Jack’s Hobby Shop. Throughout the book, Frank is described as a quiet loner, someone who was out of the social realms of normal teenage life. Frank said “...but they didn’t know what really went on there. They would have been really surprised, especially the girls-- in they’d found out what really went on. The girls didn’t think I knew anything about girls.” (201, Vonnegut). When John asked him what he really was doing there, Frank simply said, “I was screwing Jack’s wife all day.” (Vonnegut, 201). This was Vonnegut’s way of using satire and irony to show that people make skewed judgments on others based on nothing more than what they want to believe.

In conclusion, Marty becomes a better person after he has companionship with Claire. He has started a relationship with her due to the attraction theory, his and her’s self-concept is raised, and although he and Claire broke the rules of self-disclosure, they became better people. Marty was happier as well as Claire when they met each other. This classic love story describes how people can change once they interact with other people. Moreover, this is an example of how human beings in general need interaction to be normal functioning citizens of society. Having relationships, can make a person feel better about him and can possibly revolutionize or emerge a personality that was quiescent due to lack of interaction. This movie demonstrated many facets of interpersonal communication.
we know about Mr. Frank, but also shows us another side of him that we
You get to learn that they all have secrets and are monsters hidden inside as the story suggests a multitude of time. Some character does not change as much as others like Elise or show slight development such as Frank, when he shows a little humanity by not charging Elizabeth with assault. Anne shows character development when she smiles and considers the future when Tom told her about the child’s gender. At the end, they both work together as a team as they understand each other and how they feel about the issue. Tom learns he can’t control his power and Anne learns to accept it if they are honest with each other. ¬¬ Tom is affected by Elise because she makes him uncomfortable with her seduction. He avoids her to a great degree and sometimes makes excuses to get out of the situation except when he is not thinking and agree to get pie pans from her. Other characters do not get much of a reaction from him such as Frank. Frank is himself in both the internal and external sense in his vulgarity so Tom is not disturbed by him and because he does not affect his lifestyle at all. The biggest surprise was Elizabeth because she affected him in the end only because she has threatened his family by thinking of doing terrible things to
MR. FRANK is a chilling and compelling, psychological thriller that delivers an unnerving and lurid tale. There’s a sense of style that makes this plot feel like an Alfred Hitchcock film or Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode.
The relationship of brothers usually lasts forever, but in Louise Erdrich’s short story “The Red Convertible”, the relationship of the main characters Lyman and Henry takes a turn. Erdrich takes her audience through the experiences these brothers face and how they must come to terms that their relationship has changed. Knowing that it will most likely never be the same both Lyman and Henry try to fix their relationship until eventually one falls because of the experiences he faced in life. While Lyman may think the red convertible will save his and Henry’s relationship, Erdrich makes it clear that it will not through the characterization of the brothers, the plot of the story, and the symbolism she uses to tell her story.
He starts to really care for Dwayne because they both have depression in common. At one point in the movie, Frank and Dwayne were having a conversation and Dwayne mentioned he wished he could sleep till he was 18 so he could skip all the bad parts of high school. Frank then quotes a French writer, “When it gets down to the end of your life and you look back at all those years that you suffered, you will realize those were the best years of your life because they made you into the strong person you are now”. Frank and Dwayne then continued to talk about the struggles of life. Is seems to me the way Frank can reflection on his own depression can really help others. It shows that he understands what he did and that he will handle it differently next time. There were no blatant biological and psychological stressors that influenced Frank’s depression. There was no indication of past family medical problems that would have made him susceptible but according to Beck’s therapy Frank probably inherited a genetic disposition that made him susceptible to depression. If Frank wasn’t predisposed, he could have handled all of the bad events without getting mad and impulsive. He could have had a positive outlook instead of going into deep depression and trying to kill himself. The social-cultural/environmental stressors were the primary influences that cause his depression. He believed he was a full grown adult and was supposed to have his life together but it was the complete opposite. He had a romantic failure, a career disappointment, he lost his job, his homosexuality stigma, and then he lost his apartment. For most of the movie he was handling his depression really well, but it wasn’t until he ran into is ex-student/lover that his improved mood started to spiral back downward into a depressed mood. This showed he still has
Consequently, Eveline is unable to act out on what she truly believes will be best for her. Eveline’s glimpses of her future with Frank serves to provide examples with how her dreams will be fulfilled if she chooses to go away. By dreaming of her future with Frank, readers are able to gain perspective through how Eveline currently sees how she is being treated in her hometown and how she would be treated with Frank. For instance, Eveline describes how she wouldn’t be “treated as her mother had been” once she marries Frank (29). The addition of this line indicates Eveline’s mother was treated poorly, and Eveline is aware of her fate if she stays. Additionally, the way Joyce portrays Eveline’s father compared to Frank shows the differences of the two men in Eveline’s eyes. Frank is described as “kind, manly, [and] openhearted” who will “save her”; however, Eveline still feels “in danger of her father’s violence”, and Joyce includes extreme differences, such as the dangers of Eveline’s father compared to the safety of Frank, between the two characters to clearly emphasize the perspective Eveline has on each of the characters (29-32). Evidently, Eveline constantly daydreams of living in Buenos Aires and being treated with respect, however; the memories of her father are, for the most part, aggressive and insensitive. All of these hopes and dreams Eveline spends thinking of will eventually become a missed opportunity due to her constant state of paralysis. All this time, readers have only seen the flashbacks and dreams of Eveline’s, but readers don’t experience much action from Eveline. As time continues to move forward, Eveline gets trapped beneath her fear of breaking her daily routines despite her unconventional feelings towards her father and home. Joyce’s style of writing
By not taking that opportunity, Eveline probably missed a life of exploration with Frank. Eveline would have had the chance to know what independence feels like and she would have had the chance to experience individual freedom. Instead, her life afterwards is a life of regret and imprisonment with her family. Being an only child, she is bound by her family’s actions and their duties. Eveline has taken on an incredible part of the burden in keeping the family together. Her father is an overbearing and unfair man who takes his daughters earnings for himself; and rather than appreciating her sacrifices, he ridicules her. As she now lives with her dad and her two brothers, she feels tired and frustrated with her dad’s commands and her everyday life. Everyday, she sadly waits for frank to come back into her life once again and fill her life with happiness. Eveline may possibily in the future live her freedom when her controlling father passes away, but perhaps it will become too late for her to experience the freedom she wanted.
