    The Psychological Reasoning to Sam's Behavior in the Movie "Life as a House"

    The Psychology 2 In the movie Life as a House, George 's son, Sam goes through new changes in behavior. When the movie begun Sam was a rebellious young teen with negative feelings toward his father. Throughout the plot of the movie Sam goes through experiences with his father as they spend time together over the summer, which brings them closer together and allows them to have a better relationship. Sam 's acting out and unwanted actions were results of his parents divorce and not having a healthy relationship with his father. In Psychology, the basic concept of Nature vs. Nurture is said to Influence Development. Nature, according to Laura A. King (2010), includes “the individual 's biological inheritance, especially his or her genes” (p.264). Nurture involves a persons environment and experiences. In her book King (2010) also states “early experiences are important contributors to development” (p.266). In the movie you could easily understand the nurture side of Sam 's behavior. Knowing and hearing about what kind of people Sam hangs out with we can kind of understand why he dresses a certain way and why he partakes in certain activities, such as drugs. The people he hangs out with leads us back again to the divorce. Sam chooses to hang out with others like him who fell pain inside. His behaviors are a cry for help. In the movie Sam says “I like how it feels not to feel”. He does drugs to forget his problems and not feel pain. The emotions that young kids and teens go through when parents get a divorce usually include depression, anger, sadness, and the feeling that maybe they could have done something to have made the situation better. While some children and teens choose to hide their feelings, Sam didn 't. He acted out with disrespect and constant anger. “No one knows whether there are actually more depressed kids…

    Short Story Of The Ransom Of Red Chief

    To start off with, Bill and Sam show how greedy they are when they make the idea of kidnapping Johnny to make money for their joint capital. For instance, in the story it states, “Bill and me had a joint capital of about six hundred dollars, and we needed just two thousand dollars more to pull off a fraudulent town-lot scheme in Western Illinois with. We talked it over on the front steps of the hotel… a kidnapping project ought to do better there than in the radius of newspapers that send reporters out in plain clothes to stir up talk about such things.” This shows how Bill and Sam decide to make decisions according to their selfishness which later on leads to failure. Another event that shows greediness by Sam and Bill was when they took the boy and were only going to give him back to his family if they got the money that in no way belonged to they. According to the text is says, “If you attempt any treachery or fail to comply with our demand as stated, you will never see your boy again. If you pay the money as demanded, he will be returned to you safe and well within three hours. These terms are final, and if you do not accede to them no further communication will be attempted.” This states that they only way the boy will ever be seen again is if they get their money and the father does exactly what they say,…
