I chose to focus on the lack of knowledge and empathy the people in the town had regarding Arnie and his disability, with consideration of the time era in which the movie was filmed. The way the sheriff handled Arnie while taking him into custody and also the doctor’s thoughts on Arnie’s life span. The diversity issues were present well in the film, I watched the movie when it first came out and I can say now that I have expanded my knowledge I am able to see the issues presented in the

This interpersonal conflict created a negative toll on the two characters and because they lacked the “strategies for managing conflict,” they ended up fighting in the “Pandoran War.” Another example of interpersonal conflict found within the film was when Jake Sully had to tell the Omaticaya clan and the girl he fell in love with, he was initially only there to infiltrate their clan and report to the corporals.

It´s clear that the boy is so stressed by his mom and dad arguing, that he just wishes his dad out of his life so that his mom will stop thrash talking his dad, and therefore he forgot his compass. The father probably just forgot his compass since he hasn´t been able to relate to his son following the divorce. Apart from those symbols Elizabeth Baines also uses female horses out in the wilderness with the father and the son. The horses symbolize feminism, and are strongly rejected by the father, but in the end they finally get their grip on the boy, “For years to come, though, in his dreams the boy will see their wild fringed eyes and feel the deep thudding of their hooves.” (Page 5 line 169-170) Since the father has given up on his son the boy will merely be raised by his feminine mother in the following
