Analysis of the Relationship Between Brothers Charlie and Raymond Babbitt in “Rain Man”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing the relationship between brothers Raymond and Charlie in “Rain Man”. The story “Rain Man” was originally conceived by Barry Morrow and written as a screenplay by Ronald Bass and Barry Morrow for a movie directed by Barry Levinson and starring Dustin Hoffman as Raymond and Tom Cruise as Charlie. The novel “Rain Man” was written by Leonore Fleischer and based on the screenplay by Bass and Morrow. Regardless of the source, the story involves the developing relationship between the central characters of brothers Charlie and Raymond. Charlie, a self-obsessed, materialistic car salesman who had long since abandoned a relationship with his father discovers that upon his father’s death the inheritance has been left to a brother he never realized he had, Raymond. Raymond, an autistic savant has been institutionalized since he was a child and considered a threat to the young Charlie. Charlie “kidnaps” Raymond from his institution and the remaining story is based on their growing acceptance and relationship as they drive across the country in six days. The development of both characters is unique but dependent on the growth of the other. Charlie becomes more sensitive to Raymond’s needs eventually realizing that he values the relationship with his brother more so than money. Raymond also lessens the restrictions of his routine only to realize that the brother he once believed he had harmed is allowing him freedom to discover new aspects of himself he never knew were possible.

Article Review of “Behavioral Counseling to Increase Consumption of Fruit and Vegetables in Low Income Adults” by Steptoe et al (2003)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper reviewing Steptoe et al (2003) trial “Behavioral Counseling to Increase Consumption of Fruit and Vegetables in Low Income Adults”. Investigators Steptoe et al (2003) conducted a randomized trial to study the effect behavioral counseling had in regards to increasing the consumption of fruit and vegetables in low income adults. The investigators were successful in outlining their assumptions for the study, participants, methods, assessment and measurements, results and conclusion in addition to including the limitations of their study. Using 271 participants aged 18-70 years old from a deprived ethnically mixed inner city area, the investigators conducted brief individual behavioral counseling sessions with groups based on the stage of change model as opposed to time matched nutrition education counseling. Assessment of self reported number of portions of fruit and vegetables as well as plasma carotene, tocopherol, ascorbic acid concentrations and urinary potassium excretion levels were taken at baseline, eight weeks and 12 months after the counseling sessions. Overall, it was found that consumption of fruit and vegetables increased in the behavioral (by 1.5 portions) and nutrition (by 0.9 portions) groups as well as an increase in the plasma carotene and tocopherol concentrations but the carotene levels were has a significantly higher increase in the behavioral group. The percentage of persons eating five or more portions per day increased by 42% in the behavioral group and 27% in the nutrition group. The investigators were able to surmise from these results that “brief individual counseling in primary care can elicit sustained increases in consumption of fruit and vegetables in low income adults in the general population” (Steptoe et al, 2003, p. 855).
