It is the rather negative relationship between Ladybird and her mother that frame the GVV of the movie, and it is Jacks strong and generally positive relationship with his mother that gives the story its quite hopeful GVV, especially at the end]]> 2021-02-26 09:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244518554 https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244518596  for both texts the main relationship is between mother and child. in Room it's an overwhelmingly positive relationship, the vast majority of the time they have a happy, healthy, mutually beneficial relationship. when there is conflict though, it's big. i think this in part comes down to age again, but Jack reacts strongly to any sort of conflict. when learning about Outside or when Ma wants to be outside more, he doesn't like it and makes a fuss about it. 
in Lady Bird, the relationship is vastly negative - Lady Bird and her mother don't get on well and both of them act quite childish in arguments. there is only once a moment of happiness between them, when Lady Bird comes out from Kyle's house crying but their relationship is so negative ]]> 2021-02-26 09:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244518596 auggiedoggie79 https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244518827  Ladybird and Jack are similar in that the main relationships in their stories, their relationships with their mothers both affect the GVV quite significantly. The most prominent difference is that Ladybird's relationship with her mother for the most part is negative and causes them both a lot of stress and upset. Jack's relationship with his Ma is positive and they both depend on each other a lot, emotionally and from a survival aspect. Jack, being five and also trapped in Room for his entire life, gets all his ]]> 2021-02-26 09:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244518827 https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244519125  The relationship between jack and old nick is on the opposite side of the spectrum to the relationship of Christine and her father in terms of what they are to each other, old nick sees jack as nothing more but a trophy and harbors very little care for him and jack who sees old nick as the devil and hence is terrified of him, because of jacks outlook we see old nick as a symbol of despair and hopelessness, a near unconquerable force, compared to the relationship between the selfless and caring father of Ladybird who will do almost anything to better her position  even though suffers from depression and ladybird does things that are cruel and make him feel ashamed of himself which promotes an optimistic outlook on most of their interactions]]> 2021-02-26 09:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244519125 https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244520268 the mother-child relationship is the central relationship for Room and for Ladybird. the two are on either extreme of positive and negative in my opinion. 

in Room, due to the circumstances, Jack has become so attached to Ma that he struggles to go even a very short time without seeing her or even being the tiniest bit far away or seperated from her. whilst the relationship as a whole is overwhelmingly positive, at times they can be so close that is has a negative effect on one or both members of the relationship. 
in contrast, the mother-child relationship in Ladybird is a near complete opposite. the two butt heads at every given opportunity and just can't seem to get along. whilst the two are almost constantly fighting, this leads to a few very sweet moments between the two where they put their differences aside and at these moments there is a huge sense of hope for the two
 i find it interesting that there is a so positive it can be negative and so negative it leads to positivity dynamic in both texts

Similarly Joy feels immense fear for her child and responds to this by being entirely self sacrificing.]]> 2021-02-26 09:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhswan/rps3bwi0xmv7v0to/wish/1244534667
