Stand by Me Cmm Theory

1. Describe the reading of Self Concept of Gordies character in the film. How is it different from Chris? The film showcased Gordies thoughts and growth with his friends. From his out-of-door of a young lad, wimpy and afraid, he had managed to mature in to an independent and confident individual. In the aspire-go of the film, he had been described, by himself, as a weird guy, since he wasnt analogous his late brother, who was the favorite. He loved writing and was good at it, but the unfortunate reality he was in was semblance from his p atomic number 18nts, who would rather have a popular shaver with normal friends later, made him diss his own passion.And this approach pattern developed and later on gave him enough fright to accept his invisibility. His coward-ness of going against his father permanently shuts his spill the beans and honorable listen with what his parents had to say. How constantly, Chris, a kid from a bad family, is a hopeful lawyer. But since everyone se es him as a juvenile, he never bothered to live his dream. His tough spirit and leadership skills lead the family gave them courage. I think hes influential like that, though he receipts for himself he wouldnt turn out good he has good intention for his friends.Like how Gordie described him as a peacemaker of the gang. Chris is like the gangs guardian. He always makes sure theyre okay and take con brassr of them unlike how his alcoholic father. Nevertheless, the self-fulfilling prophecy of the two later on changed when Chris and Gordie changed after they found the body. Chris became a lawyer, though hard to get in with his status and Gordie became a writer, much to his joy that he took it. When they changed their views of themselves and how they acted, people had changed excessively with how they viewed them. 2.Choose either one of the characters and by citing specific scenes and dialogues from the film discuss how this character exhibited the Self-fulfilling Prophecy. Chris s ide Gordie Maybe you could go into the College-courses with me. Chris Thatll be the day. Gordie Why not youre smart enough. Chris They wont let me. Gordie What dyou mean? Chris Its the way people think of my family in this town. Its the way they think of me. Just one of those lowlife Chambers-kids. Gordie Thats not true. Chris Oh it is. No one even asked me if I took the take outmoney that time.I just got a three-day vacation. Gordie Did you take it? Chris Yeah I took it. You k un move I took it. Teddy knew I took it. Everyone knew I took it. heretofore Vern knew it I think. Maybe I was sorry and I tried to give it masking. Gordie Tried to give it back? Chris Maybe, just maybe. And maybe I took it to Old Lady Simons and told her. And the money was all there. But I cool off got a three-day vacation because it never showed up. And maybe the next week Old lady Simons had that brand new skirt on when she came to school. Gordie Yeah, yeah. It was brown and had dots on itChris Yeah. S o lets just say that I stole the milk money but Old Lady Simons stole it back from me. Just suppose that I told the story. Me, Chris Chambers, kid brother of the Eyeball Chambers. You think that anybody would have believed it? Gordie No. Chris And dyou think that that bitch would have dared try something like that if it would have been one of those dootch bags from up on The View if they had taken the money? Gordie No way Chris Oh no But with me Im sure she had her eyes on that skirt for a long time. Anyway she saw her aspect and she took it. I was the tupid one for even trying to give it back. I never thought I never thought that a t distributivelyer Oh who gives a fuck anyway? I just wish I could go to some place where nobody knows me. I guess Im just a pussy, Gordie. Gordie No way, no way. I think it was pretty brave of him to say what he has to say, but share his dream with his scoop up friend and giving him his trust, is very admirable. This dialogue further defined his thou ghts and how he had accepted his fate as a delinquent. Everyone saw him as a low life and never bothered to hear his side because he was Chris Chambers, a son of an alcoholic drug addict, so he ever bothered to cope no more. But on the last line, he said I just wish I could go to some place where nobody knows me this simple phrase is also another way of expression I wish nobody would judge me with my family. They dont know the real me 3. Choose any two(2) of the IC Theories we covered in class and discuss how each was made evident in the film. favorable Penetration Theory Gordie Why did he have to die, Chris? Why did Denny have to die? Why? Chris I dont know. Gordie It should have been me. Chris Dont say that. Gordie It should have been me.Chris Dont say that, man. Gordie Im no good. My dad said it, Im no good. Chris He doesnt know you. Gordie He hates me. Chris He doesnt hate you. Gordie He hates me. Chris No, he just doesnt know you. Gordie He hates me. My dad hates me. He hate s me oh oh God. Chris You gonna be a great writer someday, Gordie. You might even write nigh us guys if you ever get hard up for material. Gordie Guess Id have to be really hard up, huh? Chris Yeah. The moment when they had reached their goal, everything had take a shit Gordie like a cake thrown on the face.He mumbles his inner thoughts, agreeing to his uselessness to the family, completely in sad horror about his brothers death should have been his. This kind of talks only happens in intimate relationships shared, like Chris and Gordies relationship, which was built through the whole adventure or quest to go the missing body. Constructivism As time went on we saw less and less of Teddy and Vern until eventually they became just two more faces in the halls. That happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant.I heard that Vern got married out of High-school, had four kids and is now the forklift operator at the Arsenal Lumberyard. Teddy tried several times to get into the Army but his eyes and his ear kept him out. The last I heard, hed spent some time in jail. He was now doing odd jobs around Castle Rock. Chris did get out. He enrolled in the College-courses with me. And although it was hard he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to College and eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just forrader of him, two men got into an argument. One of them pulled a knife.Chris who would always make the best peace tried to wash it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly. The writer or Gordie, now a father and a writer, reflects over what happened to them when they were twelve. His perspective of what happened was unforgettable and had imprinted on his life. Like what Chris said You might even write about us guys if you ever hard up for material and he did, he wrote their experience and described how each one of them had grown and how he could never forget their friend ship. Because only through experience you learn how things are made and how you mature.
