The film’s heart is the theme of growing up.
Critic Henry Sheehan described the film as a retelling of Peter Pan from the perspective of a lost boy (Elliot): E.T. cannot survive physically on Eartch, as pan couldn’t survive in Neverland; government scientists take the place of Neverland’s pirates.

CHECKLIST FOR PLAGIARISM 1) (x) I have not handed in this assignment for any other class. 2) (x) If I reused any information from other papers I have written for other classes, I clearly explain that in the paper. 3) (x) If I used any passages word for word, I put quotations around those words, or used indentation and citation within the text. 4) (x) I have not padded the bibliography. I have used all sources cited in the bibliography in the text of the paper. 5) (x) I have cited in the bibliography only the pages I personally read. 6) (x) I have used direct quotations only in cases where it could not be stated in another way. I cited the source within the paper and in the bibliography. 7) (x) I did not so over-use direct quotations that the paper lacks interpretation or originality. 8) (x) I checked yes on steps 1-7 and therefore have been fully transparent about the research and ideas used in my paper. CHECKLIST FOR EDITING1. (x) An introductory paragraph clearly introduces the subject. A topic statement is evident within the paragraph. The position taken is clear. If the position is unclear, -put a question mark in the margin.2. (x) The next two paragraphs each have a single or main claim. Note each claim in the margin in a 3-4 word phrase. If you can't identify the claim, put a question mark in the margin. If two or more claims exist and tend to diverge from a coherent thought, put a question mark in the margin. 3. (x) The same thing holds for the next two paragraphs on the opposite side of the issue.4. (x) The four paragraphs above all focus on the issue at hand; they do not wander off into irrelevant territory. If any paragraph wanders, put a question mark in the margin.5. (x) The sixth paragraph weighs the conflicting claims from the four paragraphs above and arrives at a conclusion. Why some evidence is more convincing than other evidence is explained. The ensuing conclusion is clearly stated. Circle it. If you can't find the conclusion, put a question mark in the margin. 6. (X ) The final paragraph returns to what was stated in the first paragraph and, in light of the evidence presented and weighed above, convincingly rephrases the position statement. If the conclusion expected by the assignment is to be 'finessed, justifying statements for the variance must appear here and flow from the explanation in the sixth paragraph of your paper.7. (x) Is each claim in paragraphs 2-5 supported by evidence? Are there any naked claims supported only by variations of"! believe..."? If so, put a big X in the margin beside that paragraph.8. (x) Is each claim backed up by a reference? If a claim stands naked of supporting evidence or argument, put a big X in the margin.9. (x) Does the paper do more than simply but gloriously restate the question? Examine the case study and cross out all ideas that appear in both the case study and in your paper. What remains uncrossed out is your analysis. It should constitute the majority of your paper. If it doesn't, you haven't done an analysis.
