ENG 102-2. The Graduate

First week we began to examin the adolescence and the article of Nichol.
The article talks about the devaluation and pejorative perceptions of youth as in the movio "The Graduate". It was my first time watching the movie. The main character Benjamin has some issues with his family and his future. In the first scene of the movie we can see the struggles that he has the transition between youth to adulthood. Ben's family organizes a party for him and for celebration of his graduate and at that party there are only the friends of Ben' parents. In other scenes we can see that Mr. Braddock forces his son to decide his future. He is not listening his son in other words he is not let Ben to talk and not let him to express his feelings and ideas. Sonja was gave us a little part of the conversation between Ben and his father. In that conversation we can see it easily. Also the realtion between Ben , Elaine and Elaine's mother is too weird. I can't understand Elaine too. Why did she run away with Ben? He is wrong and she knows it but still she left with him. He had an affair with Elaine's mother and this didn't stop her. I just can't understand their love.
