For instance Pat’s self-awareness is demonstrated very early in the movie when he speaks of finding his wife in the shower with another man and beating the man up. In Quick’s book Pat does not recall this incident until near the end of the book. During a large part of the book Pat tries to recall why he and his wife are not together. It is only while playing a video cassette that he has a flashback to the incident. “Something in my mind begins to melt, and it feels as though I am experiencing an ice cream headache-or as if someone is churning my brain with an ice pick”. (Quick,pg.270). The time that the main character spent in the psychiatric hospital was also changed from 4ish years in the book to 8 months in the movie. This is a significant…

Judith Guest’s Ordinary People conveys the complex emotional and physical hardships that can arise from an unexpected tragedy among a seemingly average family. The development of seventeen-year-old Conrad Jarrett, the book’s protagonist, is dire in determining how his family and friends respond to the death of his brother, Jordan.

Karen’s death is indicative of Conrad’s shift towards dependency on others, anticipated…
