John Quincy can be classified as primary deviance since he never killed or hurt anyone. He only caused this lockdown because his son had been dying and desperate times had called for desperate measure. John was a struggling hard worker father and husband. He lived by each paycheck he received, with his son Michael and wife who worked at a super market and barely made minimum wage. Everything seemed to be a normal, John taking his son to school everyday, attending the regular Sunday little league baseball games. Until on tragic morning, the family was out for another one of Michael’s games when he collapsed on the field.

In the beginning of the movie, it showed his car being towed since he did not have enough money to pay the bank. The car being taken away, should his family was in poverty and barely made ends meet. Even though both parents worked their jobs none of this was enough to live comfortably. There debt created tension in the family, because the mother now had no car to travel to work. She yelled at John in the opening scenes, stressing John out telling he better fix it. The second example had been when John’s son had first fallen ill and the parents found out that their son needed a heart transplant. This had hocked and confused on what the couple should do to cover such an expensive treatment. John ended up selling many of their precious and valuable items to cover the cost of the surgery. Ultimately, this was still not enough or even close to the cost of undergoing the operation. John was still frustrated and lost even more hope when he found out his insurance was not able to cover the …show more content…
He knew that holding people hostage would get him in deep trouble with the law, he still decided to go through with it because he son’s health means everything to him. At the end of the movie, John had almost taken away his own life just so his son can live. The action of deviance was only committed because of the strong love and bond John has for his son. He knew that creating a ruckus was the only way to get the media to open their eyes and realize that his son needed a heart transplant. 4.)

However, the recovery and progress was an awesome success story filled with all the elements of an inspirational narrative that not only inspired but educated as

John’s life was no hope skip in the park, he suffered from a horrible childhood and it carried into his adulthood. John still failed and had to live with those failures. The failures act at him from one day to the next, he wanted so badly to succeed in something it drove him insane. His ambition was strong that he tried hard to overcompensate in a spectacular achievement, but when that fell short he went over the edge and started acting in an asocial behavior. When you mix low self-worth and anger you end up with a lethal weapon, a murder. The mystery of who killed Kathy is still up in the air, although there’s enough evidence that points straight to John, as he was the last person to be around her. His rage had grown some much over time that lost control and killed Kathy because that way she could never leave him. By him killing Kathy as sad as it is he would have finally succeeded in something, which leads him to disappear also in order to not get caught.

...ssion and intrusiveness. John’s lack of having an open mind to his wife’s thoughts and opinions and his constant childish like treatment of his wife somehow emphasizes this point, although, this may not have been his intention. The narrator felt strongly that her thoughts and feelings were being disregarded and ignored as stated by the narrator “John does not know how much I really suffer. He knows there is no reason to suffer, and that satisfies him” (Gilman 115), and she shows her despise of her husband giving extra care to what he considers more important cases over his wife’s case with a sarcastic notion “I am glad my case is not serious!” (Gilman 115). It is very doubtful that John is the villain of the story, his good intentions towards doing everything practical and possible to help his wife gain her strength and wellbeing is clear throughout the story.
At the beginning of the play, John only cares about his personal issues and he is afraid of getting involved. John’s fear reveals the theme of, when one conceals one's sins, one leaves one's self vulnerable to one's enemies. When
Society is faced with various problems that hinder the development of its communities. These issues affect the society in a numerous of ways and has a major effect on the citizens of the community as well. Social adversities causes grief and is also the cause of crimes and other miscellaneous activities that occur in inequitable areas. In the film, Fruitvale Station, there are abundant amounts of these adversities and societal issues that are illustrated. Fruitvale Station is a great example of a film that shows accurate social issues that occur in today’s society. The movie demonstrates issues of inequality, racial prejudice, gang involvement and also unemployment. It also shows how the people who are forced to live with these issues, fight for survival to maintain to see another day.
He is constantly belittled and abused by the adults in his life. In the scene about halfway through the movie, John acts out some of the behavior of his parents calling him any and every foul thing but his name, when Andrew expresses his disbelief, John shows him his scar from a cigar burn he received for "spilling paint in the garage."
“[Has] there always been something between himself and the boy that neither of them understood? “No.” he said to himself. “No, it’s your fault. It’s always been your fault.” (76) The Father realizes how oblivious he has been towards Johnny’s needs. It has always been his fault for not being there for Johnny. He does not know a single thing that is currently happening in Johnny's life. John was blind to how important this banquet was to his son. All John did by going was make the tension between father and son grow with a negative impact. His lack of effort towards reconciliation, actions of betrayal and embarrassment are the reason he is at fault. He can not blame Johnny for his actions because having a drunk father who lifts you in the air and then nearly knocks over a table is embarrassing. I believe the point at which John begins to have his epiphany is when he was talking to Johnny on the way to the banquet. “As they passes the schoolyard he asked the boy how the softball team was doing.... He [realizes] the he [did not] even know what position his own son played, or even the name of the team.” (68) (69) That makes it clear that John does not attend any of his sons games. That means he is not getting much attention from his father. His father showed signs of marginalization towards Johnnys needs but seems like he has changed by the end of the
First, he goes up on the stage and makes a fool of himself raising his son’s hand in the air like an idiot. Then he stumbles back to his seat knocking “a vase of flowers and a couple plates... to the floor with a loud crash” (6). He plays this off like a joke not even realizing “[his] boy was sobbing silently” (6). At this point John still finds humor in this whole situation. He tries to tell his son “it was really nothing [and that] it'll be forgotten in a day or two”(7). All Johnny wanted was to be left alone and his father could not even do that, causing Johnny to go “running down the street”(7) It is not until this point that John realizes everything about his relationship with his son was his
Throughout this time the events are so very believable, that John is experiencing all these things, you then discover that most of it was in his mind. Thankfully with his wife's help he is able to deal with this illness and come out okay in the end. He even wins the Noble Prize in 1994. The message I received was to try to understand the different kind of illnesses that are out there, and to be more understanding towards people when they are displaying what I would perceive as strange behavior.
