  • What Eating Gilbert Grape Analysis

    Furthermore, public acknowledgment of people with a disability is either ignored or spotlighted so significantly that the person feels like they stand out in the crowd unnecessarily. DiCaprio’s character, Arnie who has autism portrays stereotypical behavioural traits of a person with the disability. Throughout the film, it can be analysed that Arnie constantly fidgets with his hands, cannot sit still and has difficulty following basic instructions which can all be examined as stereotypical characteristics of a person with autism. Obviously Hallstrom had a bias and stereotypically view on the behaviour of those with autism as Arnie behaved like a child, no clear independence as his brother, Gilbert had to wash him and put him to bed every night. Socially, Arnie was in need of constant supervision as he had a tendency to perform acts that were previously recognised as inappropriate.

  • Genie Sense Of Self

    780 Words  | 4 Pages

    As Genie cognitively progresses throughout the years after rescue, she gains the abilities to respond to others and interact with certain objects. Even though she did not properly develop her self identity during her childhood, there is evidence that she is beginning to conceptualize her sense of self during her teen years. Feral children, such as Genie, lack a self concept impairing their development. However, in order to solve this, they must require the agents of socialization, immerse themselves in culture, and undergo socialization methods, such as Mead’s “Stages of the Self.” Through constant nurturing and therapy, Genie would have a chance to develop her sense of self and recovery from her previous, feral state.

  • Born In The Brothel Analysis

    387 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Born in the Brothel, a documentary by Zana Briski, she documented the lives of children who are born and raised in a brothel. Briski’s presence in the documentary and the way she could direct the documentary was an essential component that impacted the way the documentary was portrayed. The way that Briski chose to capture the children in a pure light allowed for the audience to connect with the documentary more. When I was first watching the documentary, I was expecting a very informative documentary that was going simply inform me of the conditions of the brothel and how the children are effected from it. I never expected for Briski to capture the purity of the children and how much hope there was inside of them.
