Tales from the pizzaplex Frailty
the 5th level!
this morning i was in my CDE110 class. we watched a 1973 short movie called Cipher in the Snow... the main focus of that short movie is this young boy and how it seems like nobody really cares about his existence. it made me realize that being neglected like that can result to a sudden death of an individual. the boy chose to die and my instructor told us that it is really happening in our society. there are people out there who choose to die rather than to live in this cruel society. they might not really like to die but they think it's better compared to being neglected, an outcast and treated like they're not really existing.
and then we also got to discuss about the five levels of friendship that Robert Selman came up with. according to Selman the five levels of friendship are:
Momentary Playmateship (3-5 years old)-- it is based on proximity
One-way Assistance (4-9 years old)-- it is based on "what you can do for me?"
Two-way, fair-weather cooperation (6-12 years old)-- they're friends until they can no longer cooperate.
Intimate and mutually shared (9-15 years old)-- it is based on possiveness and loyalty. there's a need to have a constant communication. most girls tend to only do well in pairs and they are mutually exclusive for each other. while most guys tend to be part of a large group.
Autonomous and Interdependent (12 years old and above)-- they don't have to agree on everything. they can have diverging interests. and most importantly, they don't have to have constant communication.
and all our relationships fall into any of these levels. the relationship for each person can be in any of the spectrum.
-----------------------------------------------------------
as we we're discussing about these levels of friendship,four names came up to my mind immediately... CJ and Ronald, my friends in PI and Jessica and Cassie, my friends that i haven't met in person.
CJ is my sis gaga. i met her when i was in my sophomore year. we didn't actually became close friends until our junior year. since then, she was my "living diary"...well that's how my other friends refer to her coz i can cry and laugh with her anytime. she knows everything that's happening in my life since we've been friends. i became too dependent to her. i had this feeling that without her i would be nothing. i didn't even realize that she would have an impact in my life until the day she gave me a letter before i leave PI. she said she is very thankful to me because i became friends with her. she didn't expect to be friends with me because i am so different from her. i was the crazy and loud girl while she's the studious, shy girl. but the truth is, i am the one who is very thankful to have her as my sis gaga. i didn't also expect to be friends with her but i guess i am lucky to be able to have that special relationship with her. i know it's been three long years since we last saw each other. there was even a period where i thought she totally forgot about me. but our friendship is the proof that distance doesn't mean it's over. i always try to keep in touch with her through instant messages and i'm glad she's also making an effort to make our friendship last long. i hope our 'sis gaga' relationship will be forever. through thick or thin, we'll be sisters! i love her so much and i want her to know how much grateful i am to met her and be her sis gaga. =)
Ronald is my guy best friend. i met him since i was in elementary. we did a lot of childish things a crazy kiddo can think of. he knows a lot about my life, even my heartaches because he witnessed all my embarrassing experience regarding crushes and love. he was there laughing at my kagagahan but i know he's there because he cares about me. Ronald has been an amazing friend especially during my last two years in PI before we moved. we we're partners in crime and kalokohan. we were the ones who cracks the jokes in the class, more like the center of attraction attention and i was the one who loves to make the drama while he's the one who's best at teasing and comforting me. i haven't told him how much thankful i am to be one of his friends because i always feel like our friendship is just because we're classmates. i often doubt his kindness towards me. i often feel like he doesn't like me. but that's not the real deal because i know he also cherishes our moments together back then. even until now, he is the only person who constantly check on me, idk if it's because he misses me and my crazy drama or because he is just bored. but whatever, i just know he is my guy best friend and that'll remain forever.
Jessica and Cassie are the first two people i met online.haha cool right? making friends online =) anyways, i haven't met them in person but there's something inside me telling they are my friends. they are special and they already have a special place in my heart. i love how we have lots of common interests and that they don't judge me. they have been really good to me. i am indeed very thankful to be friends with these two amazing girls. i wanna thank them for their concerns, the time they spent chatting with me until 3am, their updates about the boys and most of all their "jia yous". i really appreciate it because with that "jia you" i feel like someone believes in me. those encouragements and concerns will always be well kept in my heart. thanks girls! i hope to meet you in person one day. i hope you both will not get tired of me and my craziness. let's be friends forever =)
----------------------------------------------------------------
now, i am thinking about my relationships with my close friends and i don't really know if i can categorize them each but i am sure that i managed to have a relationship on the 5th level. and i am thankful for having them as my friends and being a part of my life. i would love to tell you guys that i'll always be here for you too. i love you and i will always be grateful for being blessed with such good friends like you. i would love to keep in touch with all of you and have a long-lasting relationship with each one of you. thank you so much guys! without you i'll be alone, helpless and an outcast ;) thanks for the encouragement, concern, love and memories! let's make more memories together!!! <333

Trish’s conflicting viewpoints on Simpson and Jessica
Jessica and Simpson near the end of the series are working toward a common goal, killing Kilgrave. It’s Trish’s reaction to them and their goal that shows us what type of people they are and their differing viewpoint on the job they “have” to do. For Jessica this job is essential and the whole reason Kilgrave is doing any of it is to get to Jessica. For Simpson It’s because he wants to be the knight in shining armor, the hero.
When Simpson tells Trish that Kilgrave isn’t someone you can capture and that he must be removed Trish responds by saying that he can’t be the one who decides that, that he is being judge, jury, and executioner. There are other people that need him alive like Hope. To her his crusade isn’t in alignment with her moral code because he isn’t seeing the entire picture, like the casualties of Kilgrave’s antics, he has laser focus on killing kilgrave no matter the sacrifices. This was perfectly displayed when he told Trish about his marines saving the barbies. They all burned, but the barbies were saved. He doesn’t really register the losses that come about due to his quest. When his war buddies get killed he is initially upset, but immediately brushes it off and agrees to be a test subject for the super soldier pills so he can go back to his quest as soon as possible. He even tries to remove Jessica so she can’t hinder his mission any more. He also places blame of everything, but himself when things go wrong or he does something deemed wrong by Trish. To him the ends justify the means. By the end he can’t even tell that he’s doing something immoral to achieve his goal.
When Jessica comes to the conclusion she has to kill Kilgrave it it under worse circumstances. Hope has just died in her arms and any illusion she had that she could stop him without becoming what Kilgrave made her, a murderer. Trish supports Jessica’s conclusion and does everything she can to support her. This is because Jessica understands the casualties that Kilgrave has cause and realized that there is no other way. When Jessica Kills Kilgrave he has become so powerful he cannot be contained. Throughout the season Jessica constantly puts the blame on herself for everything kilgrave does. She constantly tries to put just herself in harms way to reduce the casualties. The ends don’t justify the means. Jessica knows this and Trish knows this. Jessica believes the deaths that Kilgrave caused should have been avoided and due to her he has only grown more powerful and that is what eventually drives her to permanently stop him, not the illusions of heroism that drive Simpson.
The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree...or Does It? (Jessica Jones season 2)
Anyone who has watched season 2 of Jessica Jones knows the importance of mothers and daughters holds. Throughout the season Jessica struggles with comparing herself to her mother whereas Trish believes she is nothing like her mother. Ironically the opposite is true for each of them.
The comparison between Trish and her mother never really dawned on me until the scene where Trish wakes up in the morgue and is mad at Jessica for stopping the experiment on her and she ends up saying that Jessica is a disappointment, she has all this power and does nothing with it. This sentence mirrors something Dorothy says once before in the show. Looking back the two seasons have been building to this revelation. The first season does it incredibly subtly, but looking back after the revelations of this season it is obvious.
At the beginning of this season Trish is on a ratings high talking about the street level heroes within the city. She talks about Jessica on her show against Jessica’s wishes, though she didn’t say her name she said she grew up with a superhero which makes it obvious who she is talking about. She coerces Jessica in every way she can to take on the case for IGH and discover what happened to her. She does this under the guise that it will give Jessica closure, but in reality she wants jessica to find the truth so she can go public with it and rise in the ratings. This is similar to the methods her mother uses in season 1. Her mother does Trish a favor and immediately tries to “casually” bring up something Trish can do for her.
Trish throughout both seasons tries to live vicariously through Jessica because Jessica has powers and the ability to fight the “bad guys”. Trish isn’t complacent with what she is doing to help people and wishes she could engage in a more radical, hands on form of justice. Dorothy was living through Trish throughout Trish’s entire childhood. Putting her in the limelight and getting her public recognition through any means necessary even at the expense of Trish’s mental and physical health. Trish may not realize it, but she is doing the same thing to Jessica. Trish pushes Jessica towards danger in both seasons and Jessica suffers incredible trauma in both.
Also Trish only says she is proud of Jessica when Jessica is doing what Trish believes is right this is briefly shown is season 1 when Trish tells Jessica she is exactly the hero she wanted her to be when Jessica decides to go through with a self-sacrificial way to stop Kilgrave. Throughout season 1 Trish rarely tries to talk Jessica out of anything when Jessica is trying to stop Kilgrave the only time she really tries to nudge jessica into making a different decision is when Jessica tries to run from Kilgrave instead of face him. She also has no qualms with killing the antagonist of each respective season, which goes along with her the ends justify the means mindset. Dorothy has the same mindset in her thinking towards her relationship with Trish. As long as Trish gains and maintains fame and popularity Dorothy believes she is a good person and mother because no matter the means she obtained her desired end goal.
Jessica on the other had has been proven to be a polar opposite to her mother in just about every way. Jessica’s mother is a sociopathic serial killer who blames everyone else for her actions and views the past, before the car accident, in an extremely negative light. Jessica on the other hand blames herself for all the bad things that happen to the people around her even if she couldn’t stop it. She blames herself that her mother is after Trish, she blames herself for Reuben’s death, she blames herself for the car accident, etc. Jessica also feels extreme guilt for every life she takes and in every situation the choices were limited. Reva-Kilgrave made her kill Reva. Kilgrave-no jail would have been able to hold him and he would not stop until he had Jessica. Dale- granted she was in his apartment, but he was beating her and wouldn’t stop so she lashed out without thinking of her strength. Dale’s death was the only one that was avoidable, but it was entirely out of self defence and accidental. Jessica is literally blinded by nostalgia and views her childhood and herself before the accident through rose tinted glasses. Jessica believes she is a bad person. She views herself in a negative light, but she always ends up doing what is right. She gets lost along the way and is conflicted about her choices, but she comes out the other side making the right choice even in lose lose situations.
Jessica believes that no matter the ends if the means were horrible or inhumane it doesn’t make you a good person. Her mother believes the exact opposite, if the ends were as desired the means don’t matter. This is shown through their conflicting viewpoints on Karl. Karl was experimenting illegally on humans with inhumane methods on people who couldn’t say no due to their varying circumstances, but his experiment were in gene splicing which could lead to curing genetic diseases and disorders in people after birth and heal people who look to be lost causes. Jessica believes he isn’t a good person and should go away for what he has done. Her mother believes that Karl is a good person even before they enter a relationship and wants him to be free.
This shows the duality within characters related or not that have inadvertent similarities and staggering differences.
