Analysis of Sher’s “Psychological characteristics of children of alcoholics”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page reaction paper to Kenneth Sher’s article “Psychological characteristics of children of alcoholics” (1997). In a analysis of Kenneth Sher’s article “Psychological characteristics of children of alcoholics” (1997), a good description of historical studies and categorizations can be found in regards to mental health issues involved in the study of children of alcoholics (COAs). In his article, Sher comments that despite the growing research in the area, results have been inconclusive and inconsistent and with examination of other research studies this claim has been found to be correct. Because of these inconsistencies, Sher basically does not try and tackle the controversial area of cause and effect of psychological characteristics in COAs but rather decides to adequately describe consistent characteristics found in COAs such as anxiety, depression and impulsivity among others. What Sher does not do extensively however is look at more of the research in the area which compares COAs psychological characteristic with those of non-COAs. When researchers have done this in more detail in their studies, it would seem that many of these characteristics may not be based on the fact that these are children of alcoholics but in fact that these are children of a negative role model environment and were not taught appropriate methods of coping and support.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Brothers Charlie and Raymond Babbitt in “Rain Man”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing the relationship between brothers Raymond and Charlie in “Rain Man”. The story “Rain Man” was originally conceived by Barry Morrow and written as a screenplay by Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow for a movie directed by Barry Levinson and starring Dustin Hoffman as Raymond and Tom Cruise as Charlie. The novel “Rain Man” was written by Leonore Fleischer and based on the screenplay by Bass and Morrow. Regardless of the source, the story involves the developing relationship between the central characters of brothers Charlie and Raymond. Charlie, a self-obsessed, materialistic car salesman who had long since abandoned a relationship with his father discovers that upon his father’s death the inheritance has been left to a brother he never realized he had, Raymond. Raymond, an autistic savant has been institutionalized since he was a child and considered a threat to the young Charlie. Charlie “kidnaps” Raymond from his institution and the remaining story is based on their growing acceptance and relationship as they drive across the country in six days. The development of both characters is unique but dependent on the growth of the other. Charlie becomes more sensitive to Raymond’s needs eventually realizing that he values the relationship with his brother more so than money. Raymond also lessens the restrictions of his routine only to realize that the brother he once believed he had harmed is allowing him freedom to discover new aspects of himself he never knew were possible.
