Six Feet Under Update

In the last few episodes of Six Feet Under that I have read, Ruth has been dealing with conflicting emotions that she has for two men in her life, Hyriam and Nikolai. Nate is dealing with trying to keep up with Brenda while trying to convince her that they have a good romance and hope she will not bore of him. Which has become increasingly hard for Nate because even though he loved Brenda, he has to deal with her bipolar brother, Billy.  David is trying to keep his life together as well as help keep his boyfriend, Keith's life from getting to hectic either. And Claire having the better luck at the moment by discovering that she has budding talent to become an artist.

I think that a good idea to bring into my paper would be to bring up how hectic all of the characters lives are, but they are too wrapped up in themselves to notice that their entire family is have just about as much trouble as themselves. Even though they are family they never really talk to one another, and one tries to talk they end up getting shut down, this is usually Ruth. I think it would be interesting to show how disconnected an entire family can be even though they all live under the same roof.
