Can you please help me answer these questions for a final paper. I need these questions completed by tomorrow

1. Write a 6 sentence summary about the movie “Like Water for Chocolate” produced and directed by Alfonso Arau.

2. Describe the family’s dynamic in three sentences (include with the description of family structure): Poor, Immigrant, Divorced, Newlywed, Violence-prone, Parenting Issues, Marital Issues, Crisis, etc.

3. Description of the Family’s Structure. What is the name of the family in the movie? Who are the members of the family? Are they Traditional Nuclear, Nuclear, Single parent, Dual Worker, Dual Career, Cohabitors, Homosexual, Blended, First Marriage, Single Career, etc? How are the members related to each other: blood, adoption, surrogacy, guardians, foster, etc? Are bonded pairs homogamous or heterogamous? How do we know this?

4. Choose a theory by which will increase our understanding of the family. (5 points) for example: Conflict (Feminist, Queer, Quare), Consensus (Order/Structural- Functionalism), Symbolic-Interactionist, Social Exchange (Utilitarian). Describe reasons for choosing this theory in a short paragraph. (3-5 sentences)

5. Separation, Divorce, Remarriage. (5 points) Is anyone in your movie family divorced or separated? (Identify them.) If not, simply state that questions on this topic are not applicable to your family, give the reason, and move on to the next topic. If divorce does exist in your movie family, answer the questions. Does your together exhibit any of the correlates of divorce (age, race, gender, education, SES, etc.) If so, which ones? Does anyone in your movie family suffer from the social stigma of divorce? (Identify) Is your movie family a blended family? If so, what are the problems typical to blended families, that your movie family shares? If your movie family is divorced, are they suffering from economic problems?

7. Conclusion of the four theories presented early this semester, which theory best helps you to understand this family and to explain its behavior? Give reasons. What recommendations would you make to improve this family? What suggestions would you make to individual members of this family if they were real people you could talk with? What did you learn, in general, from this project?

I really need and would like help with this final paper. Can you please help me answer these questions by tomorrow.

Answer:
Realistically your best option is to search for the following.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the summary, watch the movie or read a detailed synopsis of the plot. Then, write a 6-sentence summary of the main events and themes.

For the family dynamic, analyze the relationships, conflicts, and interactions between family members in the movie. Are they poor or wealthy? Are they immigrant or native to the country? Do they experience violence or abuse? Do they have parenting or marital issues?

For the family structure, identify the name of the family and the members. Determine the type of family structure (traditional nuclear, single parent, blended, etc.) and how the members are related to each other. Are they blood relatives, adopted, fostered, or surrogates? Determine if the bonded pairs are homogamous or heterogamous.

Choose a theory (conflict, consensus, symbolic-interactionist, social exchange) that best explains the family's behavior and conflicts in the movie. Explain why you chose that theory.

Determine if anyone in the movie family is divorced or separated. If so, identify the characters and examine the effects of divorce on the family. Determine if they experience any of the correlates of divorce (age, race, gender, education, SES). Identify if the family is blended and the problems typical of blended families that the movie family shares.

In the conclusion, explain which theory you believe best helps understand the family's behavior and conflicts in the movie. Provide recommendations for improving the family and suggestions for individual members. Discuss what you learned from the project in general.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need clarification, please let me know.
