 * **1. Why did you select this clip? Do you believe this reflects the idea of the American Family in the country’s past? Or, is this a current reflection?**

I selected this clip because Dexter is a show thatportrays what a family should look like, even though most of the time, that's not the case. This is a current reflection of the American Family because many families try to make it seem like their family is perfect. More often than not, their family isn't actually perfect. Dexter actually has a big secret that he is hiding from his family, he is a serial killer who kills people who deserve to die.

**2. What you see: How are they dressed? Who is present? What are the circumstances?** **What you hear: What are the characters saying? How are they saying it?**

**A.** All of the characters are dressed very casually. The kids and the fiance are both treated equally and both looked for for answers. B. Dexter is asking Rita and the kids to marry him and he's speaking very sincerely. But in his mind he speaks that he is playing a role and he must lie to his family.

**3. Discuss the over dynamics of the family. What/ who makes up the family? What does each person’s role seem to be?**

Everyone seems to have an equal role in the family. There is Dexter, Rita, Astor, and Cody. They all make the decisions and all care for each other equally. ||  ||   ||

I chose this clip because it shows how important family was in the past. All the love was so genuine. Everyone cares about each other equally and it shows how important family actually is to everyone. This reflects the idea of the American Family in the country's past.

They are dress casually but it's obvious how different their sense of style is from the present. Girls generally wore dresses more frequently than today. Jessie, Joey and Michelle are in this scene. Jessie misses Michelle and this is a flash back of their love and time together. I hear the song baby love and it makes me feel happy and sad. It shows how much he cares about her.

In Full House, many people make up the family. Everyone loves each other equally and everything is fair. No one can keep a secret from each other and everything always stays happy and loving.

I chose this clip because it shows how honesty use to be the most important thing in a family. Even though Will did something disrespectful, he was sorry and everyone forgave him in the end. This reflects the idea of the American Family in the countries past.

Will was wearing a brightly colored shirt and they're wearing old clothing. Will, Phil, Aunt Vivian, Tiffany, Ashley, and Carlton are present. Will admits to Phil that he had the drugs that almost killed Carlton. Will is apologizing and at first Phil is upset with him but then they all forgive him like a family.

Love and trust makes up the family. When trust is broken, the family is broken. But all of them are very forgiving. The father has the most say in the family but everyone has to care for each other.

I selected this clip because I think it portrayed the present day American Family well. It also showed how important family has always been and it still is. But you can tell that the young girl felt uncomfortable with her parents.

**2. What you see: How are they dressed? Who is present? What are the circumstances?** **What you hear: What are the characters saying? How are they saying it?** There is the mother, father, daughter and the boy "friend". The mother and father are being over protective over their daughter. They're talking about how the father can do anything and he can be intimidating and he's saying it as if he's really tough.

The parents have more of a say than the kids do and they take more control but also how they want to give her a bit of freedom too.
