Analysis Of Homer Simpson 's ' The Simpsons '

Homer quit his job, went back to school, and won the County Science Fair. He was sent to Indianapolis for the National Science Fair. His dad was disappointed again that Homer went back to building rockets. He was the only one in town who didn't believe in Homer and his friends. His father helped him out when all of Homer's rocket supplies were stolen in Indianapolis the night before the science fair. His father made him

On the other hand, later, in the middle of the book, Mother Maria Marthe reveals she was never planning on paying Homer to begin with, even though, these were the terms Homer thought he would originally be working on. After this, Homer went through a short time truly considering leaving the nuns, because he thought the work was so unreasonable for one man and outrageous, since he wouldn’t receive any benefits. The audience soon realizes that he actually continues and accepts help from other volunteers. From experience in my life and those of others, I can say that sometimes doing the right thing or completing a task you do not want to do like finishing your homework can sound hard and miserable at first, yet we soon realize that when we do the task, it does not only benefit ourselves, but those around

While Emily hands Homer his glass of water she says “I have been decent except for the fact that you have been telling everyone throughout the town that we were intimate together and that you had no intention of marrying me.”

In one episode, Homer makes an unwitting jab at U.S health care. "America's health care system is second only to Japan's . . ." he says, then adds, "Canada's . . . Sweden's . . . Great Britain's . . . well, all of Europe" (McAllister 1494). In another, Homer tries to buy a gun although he is a felon and a former mental patient on the government's list of "potentially dangerous" people. In a lampoon of American gun control, the dealer tells him that being "potentially dangerous" means only that he must wait a week before he can buy a weapon (Cantor).

Homer is changed by the war, we first understood him to be this immature and irresponsible prankster with no regard to the consequences of his actions. Homer likes stirring trouble and doesn’t care about what others say or think of him, homers attitude changes, he swiftly realizers that he can no longer mess around and cause trouble like he did before the war. Homer must take some responsibility and be accountable for his actions. “Homer was becoming more surprising with every passing hour. It was getting hard to remember that this fast thinking guy, who’d just spent fifteen minutes getting us laughing and talking and feeling good again, wasn’t even trusted to hand out the books at school.” Through unlikely circumstances Homer has had to become a mature and responsible leader for the group.

The media creates television shows that appear to be reality however they are not and when looked at, it is easy to see. I will be discussing the relationships between reality and reality TV, satire, and documentary.

Additionally, when Homer’s father said “I've been mad as hell at you. But it's the first time in your life I've been ashamed of you.” Imperils Homer’s emotional and mental well being a substantial amount. Especially when one knows the odds of becoming successful coming from a town like ‘Coalwood’ is little to slim. The support of family members is remarkably crucial in times of making difficult decisions such as choosing to work in a coal mine or choosing to find another path to success. In spite of this, Homer managed to be persistent throughout his work, and with indefatigability continued to pursue his dream to be a rocket building engineer. When Homer’s rocket got purloined while he was at the ‘national science fair’ his mother defended him by saying “Homer has gotten a lot of help from the people in this town. They've helped him build his rockets. They've watched him fly 'em. But not you. You never showed up, not even once” (October Sky, Elsie Hickam). She had undoubtedly contributed to the process of Homer resolving the austerity between his father. Primarily when she said “I'm not asking you to believe in it, but he's your son, for God's sake. And I am asking you to help him.” That day John Hickam had

Homer is a very small town in Alaska, during this time Alaska was voting for illegal immigration.

On the very first page of Lilies of the Field, Homer's mother describes him as “2/3 amiable and 1/3 plain devil.” After those first few pages, Homer grew gradually and dramatically in the way that he interacted with others. It is noticeable in how he thinks of his work with the nuns. At first, he simply wanted to do them a favor, but it soon changed to wanting to escape, and then finally accepting and enjoying his experience. Even though Homer is Baptist, I saw his spiritual being grow as quickly as the chapel did.

not be as good as we imagined. We are shown quick little images of all

The Simpsons first came to life on April 19th, 1987. It was aired as a

Ni this episode, the show will be turned over from Bart, Marge and Lisa to Homer, the family’s patriarch, who will be busy commenting on the day’s news and answering the fan’s questions rather than stuffing his mouth. How’s that possible? Executive producer Al Jean told TheWrap about how they are planning to pull this off.

When Wally visits we learn that Homer has a heart disease or dysfunction so this maybe part of the reason that Homer is a very slow and enunciating talker. When he gets excited or shows emotion he doesn't take it over the edge, he keeps his composure at all times. So you can say that Homer is calm, cool, and collected. Homer has this way of giving sheepish smiles, and an aw-shucks way of presenting himself, that is a major appeal to the viewer and makes them fall in love with the young character.

suggests that Homer Barron is a fun loving person. While, Emily comes out of the house very few times, and is never seen having fun with people. When Emily proposed Homer Barron for marriage, Homer refuses to marry Emily, as he did not wanted to overtaken by time and become dull as Emily would have wished. Thus, Emily poisons Homer Barron and killed him and kept him forever with her.

Homer is trying to teach his people that anger can lead to rush and impulsive decisions. It is well presented when Paris stole Helen from Agamemnon, which action provoked his wrath and start of the Trojan war. Thousands of Greeks died during that war which was triggered by Agamemnon’s anger. In the Iliad Homer gives a good example of a bad king. Of a king who impulsively started the most murderous ancient war because of
