I need some assistance - I chose the character "Margot" (the adopted daughter) to do my analysis on. I've found very little resources to help with my paper. I'm struggling with where to start
Any bit of assistance would be helpful. Like with my last visit, I have a disability that I struggle with writing, but most of the time I can usually manage

*NOTE - I'm not asking anyone to do my work for me. That's not why I'm here.

I've found a lot of blogs, but those aren't reliable resources.

This is the assignment being requested of me:

We have studied many aspects of marriage and family life over the past six weeks. The film, "The Royal Tenenbaums" displays a wide variety of these family situations.

Select a main character from the film, and examine their role within the family and with other characters. Write a 4-6 page (not including cover and reference page) paper describing who your selected character is, and what their role is within the family. Describe their relationship with the other main characters in the film. What aspects of this course (mate selection, sexuality, conflict, resolution, remaining single, marriage, children, divorce, death, aging relationships, etc) apply to your character? Support your analysis with examples from the textbook and scholarly journal articles.

Father:
-Her father always made a point to state that she is the "adopted daughter" whenever he introduces her to anyone.

Margot may feel as though she is not really a part of the family and just an attachment piece to the family when she is continually reminded publicly that she is adopted. This act will intensify feelings of rejection and low self-esteem.

-Her father did not affirm her participation in activities or her achievements. In development terms, he wasn't sensitive to her "childhood development."

There were societies where childhood development was not understood as it is now. Children were viewed as smaller adults and were abused and exploited. Adults, in turn, did not know how to treat children as children thus would treat them like other adults. Margot's father appears to be treating Margot in this manner. He does not affirm her development as a child and speaks to her like an adult. When she participated in the play, she needed to be affirmed of her participation (i.e. parental approval). Her father merely made statements as though he was speaking to his adult peers.

As a child, she appears to be in desperate want of nurturing.

This lack of acknowledgement intensifies the obscure feelings she may be experiencing due to her being adopted. Adoption does influence a child's development. The specific issues that a child will experience when he/she has knowledge that he/she is adopted are: separation, loss, anger, grief, and identity. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the adopted child experiences the "full emotional impact" of being ...
