  • Theme Of Deviance In Benny And Joon

    1275 Words  | 3 Pages

    This lead to one of the biggest questions from the movie, how did he become that way? Hirschi’s Control Theory is a theory that states “that social control depends on people anticipating the consequences of their behavior”(Macionis 248). It was shown in the movie that Sam had a complicated relationship with his family, so his past is a big reason as to why he acts so deviant in the future. On of the four types of social control is attachment. Attachment is family, friends and school relationships. Sam was first introduced as one of Benny’s friends “crazy cousin”. It was clear that he did not enjoy having Sam around. This can reveal that Sam has a weak relationship with his family as a whole because he wasn’t even living with his parents. This would lead Sam to acting deviant without worrying about what they would think of him. It was also later revealed that Sam was kicked out of school based on his actions. Sam never had to worry about his family or school once that relationship broke off. Another type of social control is involvement. Involvement can mean many things, but it’s basically about holding a job, going to school, or participating in a sport. The character of Sam, as stated before, was kicked out of school. So, he didn’t have school keeping him away from deviant behaviors. And then there 's the reveal that Sam can’t write or read well. Sam had made an attempt to get a job at a movie store, but he would 've had to do an application, which required him to write. He was shown to be scared and nervous after he attempted at write on the form. Sam had little involvement in anything because he was a poor writer and reader, which lead him to act more deviant. A final reason as to why Sam acted so deviant, was because had little opportunity in life. He was self conscious about that fact that he couldn 't write, so he never made attempts to move up in the world. He

    Jay used ethos, by telling the audience that she was a psycho therapist who specialized in twenty-somethings. This gave the audience the understanding that Jay has the credibility to speak on this topic. Meg then went on to list various statistics that supported her main points, such as when she said that “we know that eighty percent of life 's most defining moments take place by age thirty five” (TED Talk). These statistics are a clear usage of logos, or the appeal to logic. Many times during the presentation, Jay used the appeal of pathos, by appealing to the emotions of the audience. An example of this, is when she said “... it 's realizing that you can 't have that career that you want. You can 't have that child that you want ... ” (TED).

    The piece that I will be analyzing is called How It Feels to Be Colored Me. This piece appealed to me because she described her point of view through the use of anecdote. Her perspective of being different caught my attention because most articles about being colored are so clique. This one is out of the ordinary because she thinks of being colored as a good thing. The only thing that could be difficult to analyze about this piece would understand how she feels because back then, black people were treated horribly.

After studying Progeria in depth, I not only know more, but also have a greater admiration of the strength and optimism in the families and children with Progeria. Additionally, I have realized how much I have taken for granted such as health, a long life, and ability to participate in activities easily.
