An Informative Essay On David Letterman's Journey

The famous episode from Seinfeld, “The Soup Nazi”, is loved and viewed by many. In this episode, both George Costanza (Jay Scott Greenspan) and Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld) go to a restaurant that supposedly has the “best soup in the city”, according to the locals. However, everyone calls the owner of the soup restaurant “The Soup Nazi” because of his hard, cold personality and his ability to refuse service to anyone who annoys him.

After joking for a bit and really , his audience’s attention and loosening up, he went into the ending of the body of his speech and continued into the conclusion with what you would normally expect from a commencement speech; life lessons and a few personal stories. Although he did give some good advice, he said “another hallmark of great commencement speeches is deep, profound advice like ‘reach for the stars.’ Well today, I am not going to waste your time with empty clichés.” Instead of using old clichés and timeless words of advice such as “reach for the stars” he gave more practical advice, like the advice that your dreams will change some time or another, and “that’s okay.” He concluded his speech by quoting himself from his last program on NBC, by saying “Work Hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.” I feel that this quote is pretty much self-explanatory, but very true.

Anderson Cooper’s career took him to many dangerous locations around the world such as Somalia and Sarajevo. One of the locations that he has repeatedly been to throughout his career is Iraq. “Of course, if it were perfectly safe they wouldn’t be doing the maneuver, but it’s the best protection they have against getting shot out of the sky by a rocket-propelled grenade.” (Cooper 52) This displays that Iraq is very dangerous and unstable at the time he arrived.

One step forward, a bomb blast back.” (Cooper 51) This illustrates that the status

The Success of The Simpsons In recent years, a certain animated sitcom has caught the public’s attention, evoking reactions that are both favourable and unfavourable, but hardly ever apathetic. As a brilliant, socially aware satire, Matt Groening’s ‘The Simpson’s’ has effectively stirred different emotions from different factions of the culturally deadened American populace and for this alone, it should be recognised as quality programming. The Simpsons is a brutal satire of our society and our family structures yet it offers several redeeming qualities such as feminism, endurance and most of all humour.

Barney Frank is above courageous. The valiant former U.S. House of Representative from Massachusetts is open to whatever questions, concerns, and consequences are propelled at him. The acme of his political courage is portrayed through his will to be straightforward with his views and ambition. He expresses no enigmas (“Barney… Issue… ”).
