or have lived?
For me, it was White Oleander.
I was an orphan, my Mom left when I was 2, and my father waws a felon. I went through babysitter to babysitter, and a fw homes, including an orphange.
For the entire R%26amp;S section, what movie really hit home with you? A movie that showed you where you live?
The Day After which was a 2 day mini series in the late 1980's. It portrayed life after a nuclear attack and how difficult it would be for the survivors.
Reply:For me it was Office Space. Really hit the nail on the head.
Reply:Schindler's List set me thinking for quite some time.
War Games came out back when I was working on a military facility in the West, enough said about that - but it definitely made a lasting impression on me.
Emotionally probably a different movie - Dolores Claiborne hits my gut like a hard punch, why I'm not sure.

What counseling theory would you use for the daughter in the film, "White Oldeander"?
I am taking a comprhensive exam for my degree in counseling and I have to watch the movie, "white oleander" and counsel the daughter in the movie.
I need theories on what would be the best way to counsel her as well as any information about the falicies of the foster system as described in the movie.
Any help would be appreciated!

Great question!
The daughter in "White Oleander" is sent to live with several foster 'families' in the film after her mother is arrested and then convicted of murder. The child has been victimized by her mother by being the mother's confidante, as well as being taken to the murder scene...yet, the daughter worshipped the mother, as children so often do when their parents treat them abusely.
I would use cognitive and behaviorial therapy with this young girl to help her realize that she does have a locus of control and that she can use it to her advantage. (Although, in the end of the film, she does remove herself physically from her mother's influence, so she is already on the right track.)
As far as fallacies about the foster care system are concerned, I can agree that the illustrations in the film were somewhat overblown and dramatic, but, after all, film is usually an inflation of reality. However, I would not say that the film presented fallacies about foster care.
When the daughter is first taken from her home, the case worker is as sympathetic as possible while still following the confines of the social system. When the daughter is placed for the first time in the so-called "Christian" home, she is inundated by her foster mother's immersion in organized religion, albeit a total hypocrisy on the part of the foster mother. Could this happen? Of course it could, and I feel certain that it does occur, all too often. Additionally, the daughter develops romantic feelings for her foster care mother's boyfriend, who is the only person who has truly been kind to her. Again, this is normal behavior for a girl who has experienced what the daughter has had to endure.
At the second foster home, the daughter is immersed in "need" masqueraded as "love" by her second foster care mother. The two have a lot of fun together and I think this is the first time the girl has felt that she could actually relax and trust another female.
Alas, tricked again! Devastated when her second foster care mother commits suicide, the daughter goes into a home for children.
When the daughter has some say about where she goes next, she chooses the most unlikely woman to be her third foster care "mother" - another exploiter of girls very similar to her biological mother. At that point in her life, even though she has special feelings for a boy who also resides at the children's home, it is evident that she feels she deserves no more than the errant third foster mother.
"White Oleander" is a sad movie that fairly accurately depicts the foster care system. Why would you be asked to analyze the movie for fallacies in a film that is almost directly on target concerning the issue?
Good luck on your exam!

Strong women:
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (she doesn't start out strong, but she gets there)
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan
Powerful books:
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Reply:If you're looking for a young adult book written at about the Harry Potter level with strong female characters I would recommend King Fortis the Brave. Aimee and Gillian are both strong, important characters.
Reply:try Siries of unfortunate events these books are about mystery children in foster homes and alot more i couldnt put the books down
Reply:The Life of Pi made me so amazed at the end. Its really good, one of the few books I read twice. Its about an Indian boy that gets stuck with a tiger on a lifeboat. If you cant stand sorta descriptive writing on dead things and stuff to do with basic survival, then it might not be the best to read, even if its super good.

What is the best way to transport plant cuttings?
I am visiting my sister who lives 9 hours away. I am taking some cuttings from her garden to try to root and transplant into my garden. Mainly I am taking green cuttings from Trumpet Honeysuckle, oleander, and jasmine. How can I keep the cuttings fresh during the long drive?
What is the best way to transport plant cuttings?
I agree with Danette and also put them in a cooler with a little bit of ice. This will help keep them cool, they won't dry out and they will stay moist!
I work at a nursery and our drivers carry a cooler on each trip because customers give us cuttings, so I know this works.
Good luck!
Reply:wrap the stalk or stem parts up in wet paper towels then put handiwrap around that. that should keep um damp untill you get home
leather boots

Good books similar to books by chuck palahniuk?
I need some good suggestions for books similar to the virgin suicides, white oleander, and books by chuck palahniuk. :D
Good books similar to books by chuck palahniuk?
Try Irvine Welsh. My favorite by him is "Trainspotting"
Reply:I assume you mean books that have a "non-linear" writing style, or even a nihilist perspective. I would strongly encourage you to check out Bret Easton Ellis. He is / was the author of American Psycho and Rules of Attraction (both made into movies). His novels have crossover and recurring characters, and tend to be darker in nature . Another author/writer that is more of a non-fiction composer is Chuck Klosterman. His work: Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs is more dark comedy and a "thinking" piece, rather than a lose yourself fiction novel. Good luck.
