How are relationships between stepparents and stepchildren generally depicted in fiction or film?

Some children don't like their stepparents. It is the same with the stepparents. Some children like their stepparents but their stepparents don't like them. Some stepparents like the children but the children don't like them. There are many possibilities with families with the word step in it.
When Hamlets dad died, his mom married his dad's brother which is King Claudius. Hamlet didn't like the fact that King Claudius was now his stepdad in within two months of his fathers death. Hamlet didn't like his stepdad King Claudius. He felt betrayed by his mother because of the fact about the marriage with King Claudius. Hamlet didn't like King Claudius at all but King Claudius I think only pretended to like Hamlet.
These days in movies and real life there are many step's in families. There's a stepmom, stepdad, stepsister,etc. Some like eachother and some don't because either the kids think that the step- would be mean or they had done something to them or they think they won't like them just because. Conflicts and barriers that need to be overcomed by step- are that they need to overcome the that they will be a family now and that they have to like eachother in order to get along in the house. Some of my friends have a step parent of step siblings. They come to school everyday talking about how mcuh they hate them so much and that they wish their step- would just go and go away. I haven't had experience but I have listened to my friends stories.
Some kids don't like their step- because they miss their real parent. If it is a divorce then most kids are so mad that they say they don't care about the new parent and to go away that stuff. I've seen movies and I have heard about my friends step parent or brother/sister stories. They don't sound pretty. In movies they end up getting along but sometimes in real life they don't.
The advantages of having a new step- is that you get to start over your family and try to have it the way you dreamed of. You get to meet a new one and welcome them into your family. I mean I wouldn't mind having a step-, but they better be nice or I will go kung fu on them. I don't care who it is I will go angry on them if they aren't nice to me and my real siblings. They are the guest.

"Madness is great ones must not unwatched go."

The quote "Madness is great ones must not unwatched go" when I read that I think about what it means. What it means is that he is saying that the great ones should always be watched no matter what. The great ones in the Hamlet days were the King and the Queen. He says that they should be watched at all times.
I think that would be true in any age because each age we have had, there is some kind of leader. Those leaders need to watched who knows maybe because they could get assassinated or do something betraying to their people. When we didn't watch our great ones carefully they each dropped dead. For example, Martin Luther King got shot.
He was one of the great ones. He gave his "I have a dream" speech and many people came and gathered just to hear it. There was Abraham Lincoln. He was a president. He got killed while he was watching a opera I think it was. He wasn't watched carefully.
King Cladius when he says "great ones" he means presidents, senators, vice presidents, or just anyone that is important to the economy. The ones that helps keeps the economy stable while they are leader to protect them and watch them. King Claudius was a king back in his days. There was a thing known as murder and assassination. He was afraid he would get killed also.
After all Hamlets dad did get murdered. King Claudius was afraid of revenge, he didn't want to be killed but he wanted to be king. He just said that quote so it'd make him look all brave and not afraid of anything. He wanted it to look like it was just a simple order for his soldiers and knights. I believe it is so true though. If u don't watched your great ones then who knows what could happen. Society today keeps their looks on their great ones by guarding them and protecting them when they go out and stuff. President Orack Obama, he had a bulletproof thing on. He is one of the presidents most likely to get assassinated because he is the first African American president. Who wouldn't be jealous of that?

Are u a thinker or a doer?

If you ask me, I think that I am a little bit of both. It just depends on the situation that I am in. Many times I am a thinker though. Like when something is really like oh my god I can't decide I think really hard about it. Times when I am doer is when I am really sure it will work out and nothing will back fire at me.
I like to be different from people. If everyone liked the same thing it would be boring. I like some things that people like but then again I like other stuff that people would think eww or something. Not all people like the same stuff and want to be the same. They want to be a one of a kind thing. Unique is what they call it.
I have many situations on when I am a thinker. There are times when I am shopping and I can't decide on which item to buy, I think about which item would be more usefull and last for me. I am a doer when like I know something is absolutely right. I am also a doer when my friends like someone and I know that that someone likes them back. I hook them up is what I do. Most of the time I am a thinker. I got to think before I make the decision.

Should Parents spy on their kids?

I think that parents should spy on their kids. If they don't then they won't know what their kids are doing. Some kids don't are very bad. They don't listen to their parents and they think they don't need parents. I have friends who hates their parents and doesn't even want to go home by the thought of their parents being home.
I have mean thoughts about my parents to because of spying and everything. I hate them sometimes when they get on my frickin nerves but then again I still love them. If parents don't ever spy on their kids then who knows how the childrens would be now. Kids like to do bad things. It is what they think is fun. Only a little percentage of kids like to be good or be on their parents good side that I know of.
What if a kid was doing drugs right in his room and his parents didn't check up on him. Kids could be losing their virginity in their room and their parents wouldn't know because they are not spying on them. That is very bad. I think parents should spy on their kids like when someone they don't trust is over.Kids don't like their parents spying on them because of privacy invasion but then on the other hand if you really think about it, it is a good thing. I think that each parent should at least spy on their kids like once in a while. I don't agree with the whole 24/7 spying but like once in a while, that is good. My parents don't invade my privacy all the time. There are times when I think they are but really they have a good caru

Fatherly Advice (Hamlet)

Hamlet is getting advice on what I believe parents give to all their children. I have gotten advices very simular to those advices hamlet recieved. Before I was adopted I did many bad things. I stole food in order to survive. My old mom was never home to take care of me and my sister. The only thing my sister got from my mom was a heck of a beating. All she would do when she was home was lock us in our room. I was only 5 my sister was 6. My sister couldn't give me advice because she didn't know any. No one taught us. At the age of 6 the cops come and tell us that we have a new home.
When I got adopted, me and my sister went shopping for our first toys and got everything for our rooms. We got our beds and clothes and everything. Since I was so used to stealing food, when me and my family went to a food store I jacked a candy bar. My sister knew this and told on me to my parents. I was glad she did because if she didn't who knows what could have happened. They bought the candy for me and later when we got home they sat us both down and gave us a whole bunch of advice. From then on I knew what was right and what was wrong. They told me that stealing is not good and if we ever need anything they will be there for us. They also told me about everything else that I needed to know about. Cheating, Lying, Sharing all that talk that each child should know from their parents.
Hamlet is getting advice about being true to himself and not being someone he doesn't want to be. He is being told to be his one true self. Don't be who people want you to be. I have gotten those advices from my parents also. I think everyone that has a parent has been told advices some time in their life. It doesn't matter who gives it to you. It could be a father, mother, sister, brother, grandma, friend and many more. An advice is an advice. Most of the time it can be very helpful. I have given advice to my younger brothers and I have usedadvices.

Revenge

I truly believe that people still does revenges these days. Many people have thought of it or they went through with a revenge. I have gotten my revenge on my sister when I was like in 8th grade. It wasn't like a killing revenge. I would never kill someone just for revenge that is just plain stupid.
What she did to me was like yell and me and embarrass me in front of her boyfriend and my family so I later went in her room and hid some of her stuff. I moved her things around that she uses everyday that way she can't find it. I thought it was funny thing to do to her at the time. I was also mad to. So when she wasn't home I went in her room and moved all her stuff around and messed up her bed and everything.
Later when she comes home from going somewhere she goes in her room and thinks it is all normal. Her room was already messy. I just made it messier. Well that night when she was looking for her stuff she couldn't find it and she was searchin like crazy. She kept asking me and her boyfriend if we have seen her things. I just said no and when she left I would start giggling and grinning saying bad thoughts about her. I said things like that is what you get for messing with me b**** stuff like that.
Even though there isn't much news about revenge there is revenge. There will always be revenge as long as humans live. Revenge isn't a good thing but each human has had a revenge thought. It doesn't have to be killing revenge. It could be an embarass the person revenge or something like that. Killing revenges aren't good. Revenges are a good thought but everyone has them.

And There was One

I do believe that Naughton is right in a way. The part where he says "Detroit actually has parts worth saving." If the whole American car company goes bankrupt then how would it be for them in Detroit and some of the people who actually owns one of their cars. Just because if isn't you suffering doesn't mean that you shouldn't be worried because there may be a chance that this banruptcy could happen to your car dealership. I also believe that the whole American economy is just going down. It is crashing, possibly another depression who knows.
I think that instead of making the whole company go bankrupt to at least save a part of it. It doesn't have to be a whole lot but maybe some. If they took out a whole lot then that would be a crisis for the people who owns and are a part of that company. I don't drive yet luckily but I will soon in like a couple of months. My dad is getting me a Honda Civic possibly. I'd be prepared if I were a driver though because you never know what could happen.
If they ask for another bailout then that would be worse for the economy by the look of it today. We already had that other bailout and that caused the economy to go way down I wouldn't want to imagine another bailout. When I read Naughton's article it sounds like to me that he is for and against it. He has pros and cons but the same amount of each. That is how I am thinking as I read this article.
