    The document analyzes two scenes from a movie involving a mother character. In the first scene, the mother repeatedly sets boundaries with Denny, such as not mentioning her on the radio, but Denny ignores these boundaries. The analysis suggests the mother could improve communication by directly addressing Denny's disrespect and evaluating if the relationship is worth the effort. In the second scene, the mother yells at her daughter in the kitchen when asking for compassion. The analysis says the mother's non-verbal communication was maladaptive and she could have handled it better by cooling off first and explaining her anger was misdirected.

    Movie Analysis

    I selected the mother as my character.

    Topic 1

    The mother repeatedly sets boundaries with Denny such as the scene where he says he is

    going to mention her on the radio, and she tells him she does not give him permission to do so

    very clearly. She sets boundaries like this with repeatedly like very directly asking him to leave

    their property. Denny however repeatedly crosses these boundaries. I feel that she could improve

    her communication mainly by following up with him about this disrespect and telling him that it

    wasn’t acceptable to ignore her boundaries. If she recognizes when she is setting the boundary

    that he isn’t perceiving her to be serious, she ought to try communicating her boundary a

    different way that he might perceive better. Ultimately she ought to evaluate if her relationship

    with Denny is worth him crossing her boundaries and/ or the amount of work it takes to convey

    those boundaries, and if not, she ought to deal break with him and end their relationship.

    Topic 2

    I am selecting the kitchen scene where the mother got in the oldest daughter’s face about

    wanting compassion from her was an example of maladaptive behavior. While her verbal

    communication was reasonable, asking for the benefit of the doubt as she is going through a

    rough situation, however her non-verbal communication like getting in her face and raising her
    voice unnecessarily was maladaptive as she was taking her anger out on someone, particularly

    someone who wasn’t a part of the problem. There are a few ways she could’ve handled this

    situation better. Firstly, she could’ve taken a step away from the situation to cool down before

    responding in a more constructive manner. She could’ve voiced her frustrations better by

    explaining she wasn’t upset with her, and that her anger was misdirected. Lastly, when she sat

    down with them to tell the daughters that the father left, she could’ve explained that she might be

    volatile for a while and that might affect her communication (meta-communication).
