1. HUM110HM—Assignment 2
Directions: After watching the "Water Park" episode of
Malcolm in the Middle, write an
essay that answers the following questions.
1. Integrity is an extremely interesting concept. When we use it
to refer to a building or
a bridge, we are referring to structural issues: the building or
bridge's ability to
withstand not only normal uses but also extreme circumstances:
storms,
earthquakes, and floods, for example. When we use this term to
describe people, we
can mean their ability to maintain their moral standards even in
the face of
temptation. What is your definition of integrity?
2. Using your definition of integrity, analyze the following
parts of the episode:
a) Hal and Lois's decision to procure a babysitter--any
babysitter--for Dewey so that
2. they can have fun at the park.
b) Hal's decision to smuggle a pint of rum into the park.
c) Hal and Lois's decision to ignore their two sons and
concentrate on each other.
d) The behavior of the attendant at the top (entry point) of the
monster water ride.
e) The decision by Francis and Spangler to deliberately lose
each game of pool that
they play against each other.
f) The fact that after the elderly babysitter is taken away via
ambulance, both the
emergency medical technicians and the neighbors fail to realize
that Dewey has
been left home alone.
