The Dream Team Character Analysis
The movie, The Dream Team, is about four different men who are in a mental institution. The four men are all sick with some mental illness. The four men are Billy Caufield, Henry Sikorsky, Albert Lanousi, and Jack McDermott. Dr. Weitzman has a group of these four men to bring out their real selves. He wants to bring the group to a Yankees game as a field trip out of the institute. Dr. Weitzman ends up in near a crime and ends up back at the hospital. The four men are wondering around New York City having a weird time.
The character that I am analyzing is Henry Sikorsky. To me, I believe that Henry has an anxiety disorder called Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Two different types characterize OCD. One is based on truth, and the other is ritualistic.

    Character Analysis: Chris Mccandless

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    The True Dynamic Duo Character Analysis

    What qualities do those with strong bonds posses? In order for a meaningful friendship, one must be able to make someone else’s goals a priority. To stand by a friend through opposition is what the core of friendship is. Others will come and go but strong friends overcome trials and tribulations together. The theme of friendship is prevalent in two classic and beloved books. Mark Twain does a great job of painting a picture of a strong partnership between Huck and Jim in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Their quest for freedom links them together which later develops into a bond between the most unlikely of friends. John Steinbeck introduces a not so typical form of friendship between Lennie and George in Of Mice and Men.…

    Clinical Characteristics & Biological Explanations of OCD

To be diagnosed with having obsessions, the patient must have recurring, persistent intrusive thoughts that cause marked distress or anxiety, and must have insight into the fact that the thoughts are a product of their own mind. To have compulsions, the patient must feel the need to repeat physical behaviours, which occur as a response to an obsession or in accordance with strictly applied rules, and aim to reduce distress or prevent something that is dreaded. The patient must recognise that the obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive.…

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Essay

    OCD causes anxiety and distress based on uncontrollable thoughts and images that feel both intrusive and unpleasant to the sufferer. The ideas are often unrealistic, but are fantastically persistent and extremely disturbing. (Robinson) These thoughts and images compel the person to perform ritualized activities in an attempt to relieve the obsessive notions that will not stop playing in their mind. Like a jackhammer on concrete, the thoughts progressively get louder and louder and are impossible to ignore. The obsessive rituals are developed to decrease the amount of anxiety experienced by the OCD sufferer, but fail to reduce the distress to any significant degree. (Robinson)…
