Nicole Kozik-Ayers Gina Crawford English 101 18 February 2018 The Fosters Essay My favorite genre is to watch is American family drama, particularly the show The Fosters. I am a fan of this show for many reason, from the characters to each theme of each episode. This show purpose is to follow the lives of the foster family throughout each blended theme from each episode. This show is relatable in many way because each character of the foster family deals with the adversity of everyday social norms. The Fosters is my favorite Television show because of how it portrays issues and social problems going on in our society and the way it teaches life lessons. First, I watch The Fosters because I enjoy watching each character. The main characters of the Foster family consist of Stef, Callie, Branden, Mariana, Jude, Jesus, and Lena. Stef is a police officer with Mike,which they used to be partners till they had issues and got separated from their job. Lena is a High school assistant principal, which is the high school all their children go to. The roles of each character consist of, Stef Foster (Mom),Lena Adams/Foster (Mom), Jesus Foster ( Adopted twin brother), Marina Foster (Adopted twin sister), Brandon Foster (Stef's son), Callie Jacob (Foster Sister, Jude's sister), Jude Jacob/Foster (Adopted, Callie's brother), Mike Foster (Divorced Stef, Brandon's father), and Anna Gutierrez (Mariana Jesus's biological mom). Additionally, the blended themes of The Fosters are interesting. The show is interesting because of how the purpose of the show follow the lives of the foster family. The show features a lesbian couple with a mix of biological, adopted, and fostered kids. The show follows the family's daily struggles from teenage kids to fostering new kids to mending broken relationships. Each theme however always has a life lesson or relatable in certain aspects. People who watch this show, I feel can learn a lot, especially teenagers. Finally, the characters from The Foster family deals with the adversity of everyday social norms. It is fun always watching this show because of how important it is. For example, This series deals with gay rights, feminism, first loves, how to come out to family and friends, how to follow your dreams, suicide, and mental illness. My personal favorite episode is called Lucky because, finally after all the false-starts and scheming and long-lost fathers and everything else, Callie is adopted by Stef and Lena. It is the moment that the entire show had been building toward up until that point, and it was so incredibly worth it. Also.The Fosters is a very relatable show. It proves that family is what really matters in this world and that every family looks super different from each other, but that's not a big deal at all. You might have a huge family with tons of siblings, you might be an only child, you might be living with some foster siblings, you might have two moms - it's all good . Everyone struggles the same way, everyone goes through times good and bad, and what your family looks like on the outside isn't the most important thing. No matter what episode you watch this show is worth the watch. For many reasons, The Fosters is my favorite television show. These reasons consist of sexial orientation of Stef and Lena being a lesbian married couple as well as their son Jude who came out as gay at a young age. Their are also some episodes where some of the non main characters are transgender. High school life is big in this show. The show is relatable to a lot of teenagers based on what is experienced going through high school. One reason I love this show is because of the cliffhangers from each season always keeps me guessing and wanting to keep tuning in. Overall this show is amazing the I recommend this show to anyone and everyone to at least check it out. Do you understand your feedback?
