In numerous episodes Peter reverts to acting as a child like the episode when Tom Tucker starts to date Peter’s mother, Peter begins to act like a child when Tucker doesn’t allow peter to get ice cream before he finishes dinner. This is an example of the defense mechanism regression which is reverting back to childish ways to cope with stress or pain. When Peter was very young his father was not around much at all and when he was he was always inebriated. Later in Peter’s adulthood he was told that the man he grew up with wasn’t his real father. Not having a father around could have a lot to do with his personality development and his pickup of alcoholism.

In the same episode Cam, the boyfriend of Mitch in the gay couple, starts to exercise because he is overweight. Mitch is overjoyed that he started to exercise, but he wears unflattering tight bike shorts.

A Doll’s House In Henrick Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, the main relationship we see is Nora Helmer and her husband Torvald Helmer’s. Their relationship is seemingly influenced by their era. When first reading the play, one may suggest that the women in this play are victims of this era. As the plot develops, we see that the relationship is also influenced by Nora’s lies, which suggest she was also a victimizer in her relationship, aside from her era. By the end of this play, we see how Nora’s secret changes the relationship between the couple, as she violates the stereotypical role-play as a wife and mother in her era, which generates her inspirational growth.
Brittney Lindsey Professor Howard English 102 29 Mar 2013 Journal 1 In The poem “My Papa Waltz”, the relationship between the speaker and his father is an abnormal relationship, his father is engaging his child in his drunken activities .Before the child drifts of to sleep, he gets the opportunity to dance with his father .The Father is so drunk that the alcohol on his breath second handily intoxicates his son and makes him dizzy along with the fast paced dancing. Even though this dancing is an annoyance to his mother, and the child is well aware of this. The son continues to hold on to his drunken father in comfort no matter what the circumstances are. I feel like the son is gaining comfort from his father because, he may not receive any attention at all from his father when he is sober and this is his only opportunity to bond with his father even though he is intoxicated with alcohol. In “The Secretary’s Chant” The speaker turns herself into a machine in comparison to the objects that surround her in her everyday scene as a secretary.
Alcohol in the scenes at first serves as a way to mask true emotion throughout the evening. But Honey drinks excessively as she is not in her comfort zone, and we are revealed at the end of the play that the drunk young couple isn’t as perfect as they first appear to be.Through alcohol, the characters get rid of their illusions. At the climax of the play, Nick and Honey realize George and Martha invented their son, and vice versa, they realize Nick and Honey are not in love. Familial success in modern society could mean having children or being in love, and both couples reveal their own marital failure. “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” is a play that show the collapse of two marital fantasies.
When his most loved daughter comments on her sister’s reactions about his wishes, he then begins to go insane after irrationally separating his land between two of his three daughters based on their charm bringing terrible consequences for everyone. I would say that’s Lear’s first mistake; separating power and responsibility. His two eldest daughters are prepared to be in control of their own lives (age wise) but not necessarily mature enough. A reason of immaturity from the daughters that Lear didn’t notice was how fond they were of him when he declared his wanting, therefore, they aren’t ready to rule a kingdom. They allowed their father to act as if he is still in charge.
Mid-Term Break The poem is about the death of Heaney's infant brother (Christopher) and how people (including himself) reacted to this. The poem's title suggests a holiday but this “break” does not happen for pleasant reasons. For most of the poem Heaney writes of people's unnatural reactions, but at the end he is able to grieve honestly. The boredom of waiting appears in the counting of bells but “knelling” suggests a funeral bell, rather than a bell for lessons. The modern reader may be struck by the neighbours' driving the young Seamus home - his parents may not have a car (quite usual then - Heaney was born in 1939, and is here at boarding school, so this is the 1950s) or, more likely, were too busy at home, and relied on their neighbours to help.
When Larry gets mad at his parents, he said “they really made my blood boil” (164). It’s humorous because being as a child never know and understand about this sentence. 3. Larry talks like a man, “I pretended to be talking to myself, and said in a loud voice: ’If another bloody baby comes into this house, I’m going out’ ” (166). This’s funny because he’s just 5 years old, but he talked like a man in a movie.
