St Johns University Ordinary People Film Discussion Questions
I’m working on a grammar writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
First, watch the film “Ordinary People”. Writing assignment: Pick one character (most likely Conrad) from the film with a mood disorder that you will focus on for this assignment.
2. Write a physical description of this character as he appears in the film.
3. Describe the background of your character, including family, education, development, social adjustment, medical and any other information that is available.
4. Describe the development of the symptoms of the character and how these symptoms impact his functioning.
5. Diagnose your character and specify how the character meets the mood disorder diagnosis that you have given him.
6. Did your character receive any treatment(s) during the course of the movie? If so, please describe them and their effectiveness. If not, suggest possible treatments for this disorder.
