2. Relationships Between Parents and Children Relationships between children and their parents. Diverse parents and their kids react differently from each other: –M–Marlin and Nemo: Marlin is overprotective; Nemo wants to have fun –C–Crush and Squirt: Crush lets Squirt go on adventures; they are like friends/buddies.

3. Marlin’s dedication to find Nemo In the beginning of the movie Marlin said, “There, there, there. It's okay, Daddy's here, daddy's got you. I promise I will never let anything happen to you... Nemo.” Marlin became an overprotective dad because of what he said. Nemo rebelled and got abducted Marlin could have easily given up

4. Since Coral, Marlin’s wife, died, Marlin has constantly been paranoid about Nemo’s safety. “I will never let anything happen to you.”— Marlin. The above quote sums up how overprotective Marlin was toward Nemo. Nemo is a child so he just wants to explore and have fun. With all of these different views on Nemo’s independence, Marlin and Nemo’s relationship is under extreme pressure. How Marlin and Nemo’s relationship was at first:

5. When Nemo and Marlin were apart, it was as if they replaced each other with different fish.  Marlin found Dory  Nemo found Gill Could it be that Marlin always needed someone to take care of? Or that Nemo just needed a bit of space to make his own decisions? Replacements?

6. Crush and his son, Squirt’s, relationship: Crush is a “cool” parent They share more of a brotherly or “friendly” love Have a lot of fun together Crush isn’t strict or controlling like Marlin
