Ricky Gets A dog November 28th

Season 6 Episode 12 Ricky Gets A dog

In this episode, Lucble and her family end up getting a dog in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs.  However, Fred the landlord at first accepts the dog because he is named Fred.  The only problem with having this dog is that it barks a lot and Lcuy and Ricky must get rid of it.  I feel like I am still friends with Lucy because I too have had to make hard decisions like Lucy does in this episode.  The one thing that makes my friendship a little weaker with Lucy is the fact that she can't say no to anything.  When Ricky Jr.  wants the dog in the house, Lucy knows she must say no but cannot.  This quality makes her very passive.  However, I do like her for being caring to her children.  In this instance, she is caring because she tells Ricky Jr.  that she will consider the matter.

 

On the other hand, I would not want to be friends with Lucy and Ricky because of their weakness and unwillingness to congront a difficult situation.  When Lucy and Ricky must get rid of the dog, they both decide they will leave the apartment before Ricky Jr.  gets up.  In this way, they can have the dog gone without having to deal with Ricky Jr.  This demonstrates weakness because it shows that they are unwilling to do something difficult.  The difficult thing would be telling Ricky Jr.  that they are getting to id of the dog.  If they were good strong people, they might not try and hide from Ricky Jr, but instead explain the situation straight up and try to educate.  Also, I think that I don't like Lucy as much because she and Ricky communicate poorly.  In this incident specifically, they don't communicate which one will leave the house before Ricky Jr.  getbbs up in the morning.  On the other hand, I am a pretty good communicator which means I don't have this in common with Lucy.

 

After watching this episode, I would give Lucy and Ricky some advice.  First off, I would tell Lucy that when there are rules, you sometimes have to say no straight up.  I would let her know that since she is so passive it could result in  Ricky Jr.  thinking she will try to give him whatever he wants.  I would advise Ricky to make sure he communicates with Lucy thoroughly whenever they are planning to do something together.  Lastly, I think that Lucy and Ricky trying to shield Ricky Jr.  is sort of a bad idea.  I feel this way because it doesn't teach him to confront bad situations.

Deep Sea fishing November 28th

Season 6 Episode 7 Deep Sea Fishing

 

In this episode, Lucy goes fishing with Ricky and Ethal.  However, she is somewhat dvcg again in this episoode when she buys a fish instead of catch one for real.  This doesnn't change my relationship with her very much because I also have consiidered and have actually deceived people in many ways.  When Lucy wants to try fishing and Ricky invites her, she argues and says that she'll get and take her own boat.  This behavior makes me think she is a little bit less of a friend because she is rude to her husband.  Plus, it is a behavior we don't really have in common.  If I was invited to do something I wanted to do, I would by all means do it the way it was suggested.

 

After watching this episode I have a courle criticissms and warnings for Lucy.  I think she does need to stop deceiving people, especially when there is a high chance of being caught.  I feel this way because if people recognize that you are deceiving them, they man not like you as much.  When people don't like each other as much, it can result in tention in their relationship.  Also, I would advise Lucy to take opportunities when she gets them.  I feel this way because sometimes you only get an opportunity once in a lifetime.  If you miss out on an oportunity, you will never know what you missed out on because you might never get the opportunity again.  Also, I would advise Lucy not to antagonize a person that is giving her a good opportunity to do something she wants.  This is because the person giving Lucy the opportunity, coner husbthe in this caseae might think she is being disrespectful and ungrateful.  A person might feel this way for a couple of reasons.  The main one is that they are offering her a good opportunity and they are being treated like it doesn't matter what they are doing for the person.  Also, it shows the opportu^y giver that you to eally don't care about them as long as you get the opportunity.  In this case, when Lucy says should will take her own boat, it shows that she doesn't care that Ricky is giving her an opportunity.  to go with him.

Off to Florida November 27th

I Love Lucy Season 6 Episod 6 Off To florida

In this episode, Lucy decides to plan her trip to Florida once again.  This time, she actually succeeds and gets to go to florida.  Given that she re-plans her trip says a lot about her.  For example, it tells me that she is not willing to give up on something and be influenced by someone else.  When I saw this it made her seem sort of like a friend and mentor.  I would call her my friend, because she matches my personality of not giving up on something she wants.  If I was in her place, I would probabbly do the same thing.  On the other hand, she is like a mentor to me parasocially and socially if we actually knew each other.  However, since this is only a parasocial relationship, seeing her on TV leaves me with the ipression that giving up is not the right thing to do.  She has taught me that if you don't get something immediately, it will come eventually.

 

When Lucy finally plans her Florida trip, she gets very excited.  This behavior keeps us as friends because I too would be excited by something I had planned.  I admire her for this trait because it shows enthusiasm.  However, the only trait I don't admire is her arguing in this episode.  I feel this way because arguing is sometimes nonsensical and it sometimes just goes on and on.  When you combine nonsense and excessive arguing, it gets very annoying for other people.

 

After watching this episode, I have a couple warnings ed a couple of positive critiques for Lucy.  One of the biggest warnings I would give her is to try and minimize arguing when there isn't a good reason for it.  However, I think that arguing is sometimes okay if it is short lived and calm.  Another warning I would give Lucy is not being overconfident.  When a person is overconfident, bad things can happen to them.  Plaus, it makes others feel like their advice is useless.

 

On the other hand, I would give Lucy a big compliment for not giving up on her plan to go to Florida.  As I said before, this shows that someone is willing to keep trying and is not about to give up.  It also shows that they understand that although sometimes you don't get what they want immediately, they will get it eventually.  I could actually advise Lucy with my own personal experience in addition to this episode.  I predict that when Lucy gets to Florida, she will have a really good time and have lots of fun activities.  I feel this way, because Florida has a lot to offer when it comes to activities.
