I posted earlier about this essay I have to write but I didn't know EXACTLY what I was going to be writing about, but ANYWAY. Ok, I had to watch American Beauty and do a charactor analisys on one of the characters in the film. I chose to do Ricki Fitz. Now, I need some help comming up with some reasons why some people may think of his as not a good role model. I came up with he's a fake (one way towards his parents and behind their back is totally differnt), and he's a drug dealer. WHAT ELSE IS THERE? I have to have three more (6 total) points of why some people may think he's not a good role model. HELP ME PLEASE IF YOU"VE SEEN THIS MOVIE.
I don't think there's anything wrong with these things per se, but some people might...he was sent off to military school (assumingly for being "bad")...and he encourages his teenage neighbor to run off with him to New York.
good thinking :0) Thanks SO much for replying! I think some people may think of his aas a hero, but my essay is on his "bad" qualities....your saving my grade girl!
he "convinces" jane to run away.
he picked/had a key made of his fathers locked cabinet (no sense of others' personal belongings/private property).
set the lawn on fire in jane's name/obsessive (though he says he's not)
THANKS!
he sits around videotaping garbage instead of picking it up and throwing it away.
