    Johnny Depp is one of this generation’s most talented actor. His character development is beyond compare. Johnny Depp has acted in a plethora of movies, but in Benny and Joon and some others, his physical movements are very similar to some very famous silent film actors. Johnny’s character, Sam, is an eccentric one: he’s awkward, silly, and has a very imaginative mind. Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton acted as fathers to Johnny’s acting, leading him to new ideas, more characters in his career, extreme physical movement, and more explosive entertainment. In Benny and Joon, Johnny Depp’s physical reactive, and emotional acting strongly represents Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.…

    I did not think about the role of Fr. Pfleger as an image of a father for all children who has no father’s figure in the community, that is a good point. The case of John Turner, in Anderson book, is a good example of how those young men in those communities struggle “by the luck of an effective model, or a decent father,” and yet John in his extreme needs, approached to Anderson (an unknown person), looking for an advise of a man, “might I have word with you.” Because Fr. Pfleger lives in the communities for so long, he knows everyone and all the news in the community, he plays not only a role of a “father,” but also as someone with Godly authority. He is a prophetic leader who stands for African American communities in the name of God. Somehow…

    My perception of Jim’s self-concept is that he has a negative image of himself. He feels as if no matter how hard he tries, he cannot make his father happy. He has blocked himself from possibly attaining good grades and achievements. Jim stated “no matter how much studying I do, I am not going to get all A’s. What should I do, I mean how do I convince them that I’m doing everything I can”. He is using his father’s experiences and expectations as a negative example which is not allowing him to see the potential he may have. Instead he should see it as a positive thing, that way it will motivate him and be able to prove his father wrong.…
