    The Misfits Book Report

    In the book The Misfits, the events in the book largely affect the characters and how they feel about themselves. At the beginning of the story, Bobby believes that it is best to not make ¨waves,¨ or draw attention to yourself. He also thinks that people are dealt a hand. Some people get a royal flush, and others get a pair of deuces, and some get a string of cards that no matter how they are played will never add up to a winning hand. He thinks even if you try and never give up, and if you look at the bright side of things, you probably won't get anywhere. But, as he later learns through a series of events, it will pay off to try and to put effort in a cause you believe in.…

    The Misfit Character Analysis

    From what I see, a large portion of O’Conner’s work take after a comparable example. The principle character are stuck in a trouble situation and toward the end they see the light of God's ways and have their recovery. Christians have frequently commented her works for being corrupted however in reality she utilizes these situations and portrayal to express the force of God in a positive light. The shameless character of the Misfit is skillfully portrayed, just like the "enlightened" character of Grandma. Most of these characters always go through some kind of change in their daily lives. An adjustment in their perspectives of the world and in their observations about existence and passing. Such character in this specific story is Grandma and, as I would like to think, the Misfit. I imagine that…

    Social Misfit In A Literary Analysis

    The significance of literature serves as a gateway to learn about the past and expand knowledge and understanding of the world. Literature holds the power to expand minds by raising questions such as: “what are the goals of this work? Why is it relevant today? What is its purpose?” The answer to these questions and others similar to them exist in a gray world where answers are just as unique as a fingerprint. But some minds might not open to thoroughly experience the wide world that is beyond them. Generally defined, the term social misfit refers to someone who does not in--an outcast. Social misfit is applied in regards to people who either do not fit in but try to do so; or, towards someone who does fit in with society on purpose. In A Confederacy…

    Sociological Theory Of Deviance

    Deviance, social sanctions, and the control theory are other sociological concepts observed in the film. Deviance depicts an action that disobeys social norms. Every character in the film is seen as deviant by either their actions that forced them into detention, or executed actions during the detention. For example, Claire is deviant because she skips class so she can go shopping, and during detention, she instigates a relationship with John. Allison appears in detention because she was bored on a Saturday, and during detention, she steals Brian’s wallet. Andrew is deviant when he smokes since he is a varsity-lettered wrestler. John is incessantly deviant because he challenges and argues with Principal Vernon, does not partake in school clubs…

    Describe and Evaluate Psychological Definitions of Abnormal Behavior

    According to the science of psychology one’s behavior needs to follow a certain criteria in order to be deemed “normal”. If one’s behavior does not match the criteria, their behavior is seen as undesirable and wrong (requires change). For this physiologists need to be able to view a person’s behavior and be able to tell the difference between normal and abnormal. Whilst defining the “normality” of ones behavior physiologists need to be careful to remain objective and as free of any bias as possible, furthermore their experiment to determine ones behavior needs to be repeatable and reliable.…

    Deviance and Social Control Experiments

    An interesting assignment was assigned to us this week, one that I was excited and a little nervous to get started on. Our society is quite dependent on what is “normal.” Normal is following a routine, one that was set only by you and no others. Normal is to dress in what is considered socially acceptable, not garb that would throw you into a social outcast setting. But what happens when you defy these norms and start to step out of the box?…
