Scene 3 Lucy’s friend, Connor, makes fun of her dad Sam has trouble reading a children’s book. Uyen Do

Scene 4 The arrest Sam finds out he has the intellectual capacity of a 7 year old. Uyen Do

Issues Sam has to overcome many issues but the strongest one is having his daughter taken away from him. He had to find a lawyer who could get her back for him. Uyen Do

Issues Central theme of the movie being expressed by Rita, “that every parent has felt disabled in some way regarding the rearing of their children and the decisions they have to make.” Every parent including normal ones have trouble raising their kids. Sam has disability so therefore people think he can’t raise his own child. Uyen Do

Relating to Anthropology Scientific Method Nature vs. Nurture Nature-Lucy is born to become a strong and independent girl. She is smarter than kids her age. Nurture-Lucy draws a picture of her family, she draws herself bigger than her dad because she feels that she is the one taking care of him. Uyen Do

Annie thinks that if Lucy is taken away from her father, a piece of her will be taken away also. Uyen Do 1:10 – 2:15

Relating to Psychology Sam has a form of down syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Psychosexual Development Theory (Freud) Phallic (3-6 years)-Lucy develops a close tie with her dad. Uyen & Logan

Relating to Psychology  Perception How the court and outsiders see Sam They think Sam is incapable of raising his own daughter and decide that it is best for her to live with foster parents. Uyen & Logan

Lucy suggests running away and start a new life. She doesn’t want to be taken away from her father. Uyen Do 4:06 – 5:09

Relating to Psychology Id-When Rita tells Sam to lie to Mr. Turner. When Sam’s friend told him to lie when he was recording a message for his answering machine. Superego-He refuses to because he doesn’t believe in lies. Ego-When Sam was in court, he did not lie nor sugar coated his words, he spoke from the heart. Uyen Do

Relating to Psychology  Denial Lucy lies when she was under oath. Lucy was being teased for having a retard as a father, she has become too embarrassed to accept that she is more intellectual advanced than Sam. Uyen Do

Relating to Psychology  The Psychosocial Development Theory (Erikson)  Trust vs. Mistrust Sam took care of Lucy when she was a baby, and Annie plays a small role as a mother although later on, Sam said that Lucy needs a mother for Annie is agoraphobic and doesn’t leave her house. Uyen Do

Relating to Psychology  Initiative vs. Guilt Lucy goes to school and falls behind her class, Sam does not have the knowledge to read her a simple book. When Lucy couldn’t read the word “difficult”, she gives up and it was Sam who encouraged her to read it. Uyen Do

Relating to Psychology  Industry vs. Inferiority The Child and Family Department worries that when Lucy grows older and hit puberty, Sam will not be able to provide her with all the information she will be asking for. Uyen Do

Relating to Psychology  The Moral Development Theory (Kohllberg)  Preconventional Stage Since Sam thinks like a 7 year-old, he is still going through the Preconventional stage where he thinks that if he lies, he will get punished and when he was sitting in the school office with two other students, he was very anxious because he thought he was in trouble. Uyen Do

Relating to Psychology  Only child When Sam took Lucy out to buy a pair of shoes for school, she was allowed to buy whichever pair she wants even if it costs him a lot of money, he just wants her to be happy. She is the center of interest, Sam cares about her a lot. We can see that she has a high achievement drive, she is good at soccer and a very good painter. Uyen Do

Relating to Sociology Sam has a habit of eating at IHOP and when he goes to Bob’s Big Boy where they don’t have French pancakes he begins to feel like his routine is messed up. Uyen & Logan

Relating to Sociology When Sam and Lucy run away, Sam tells Lucy it is wrong- relates to values Margret takes Lucy away from Sam because she does not believe he has the capacity to take care of her- relates to laws Lucy is upset she is taken away from her father- relates to socialization “The Family” Uyen & Logan

Relating to Sociology  The Family Lucy has been raised by her father and the absence of mother affects how she socialize with other kids. She realizes that her dad is different from other daddies. Unintentional and Intentional Uyen & Logan

Relating to Sociology  The Peer Group Lucy tells her friends that she was adopted so they would not think that she is different and befriend her. She wants to fit in with the other kids. More concerned about making friends. Uyen & Logan

Relating to Sociology  Conformity Lucy conform to her friends because she wants to avoid being outcast, and wants to feel the sense of belonging like other kids do. Uyen & Logan

Scene Lucy told her friends she was adopted and was taken away from her father. Uyen Do
