Freaks and Geeks

I really liked Freaks and Geeks! Even though it was only episode that we watched in class, I really liked it! So I'm writing my blog for this week on it. Some groups that were present in the movie were the jocks, geeks, freaks, bullies, and the outkast, Lindsey. When the jocks interacted with eachother they always got along and it was for their benefit that they were friends. They didn't socialize much out of their group except when making fun of the "special" kid which I found very mean. The geeks, Lindsey's brother and his friends were the kids that would get picked on by the bullies. Lindsey, on one occasion, actually stood up for her brother when he was being bullied at school, and the guy backed off. Lindsey was a geek I guess but as a senior she wanted to step out of her little group and meet other, new people, and be different. The freaks, or what she thinks are the cool kids, are the ones that she decided to befriend. These are the guys that go out on the smoking square...rebels. Most of the groups don't really interact with eachother too much, but Lindsey seems to be a part of all of them whether she wants to be or not. The geeks and bullies are an example of a dysfunction, whereas Lindsey and the freaks are a function. This is how the show relates to functional theory.
