Bob's Burgers Analysis

Throughout the movie, Brian goes through the Identity Foreclosure, Identity Moratorium and Identity Achievement statues of James Marcia’s identity statuses theory. When Brian lives up to his obedient, “Good Citizen,” nerd image, he’s in the Identity Foreclosure status since he unquestioningly adopts his parents’ and society's visions, values and roles. He follows rules, questions rebelliousness and allows others to view him as weak for being a geek. Then, he transitions into an Identity Moratorium status where he delays his commitment to being the Brain and explores “alternative ideologies” and sides to himself when he smokes weed and connects to the troubles and philosophies of the rest of the Breakfast Club (Weiten, 457). Finally, at the end of the movie, Brian achieves the Identity Achievement status where he grows closer to a sense of identity and direction after “thinking through alternative possibilities,” or hanging out with the rest of the Breakfast Club (Weiten, 457). After being accepted by others, Brian builds his self-esteem and values his life despite his failures once and for all.

A short essay “ Guys vs. “Men” written by Dave Barry, presents Dave’s perception on the difference between “Guys” and “Men”. Dave presents his essay in a comical way that generalizes the “men” vs. “guys” and also gender biased generalization. Dave argues that men hold too much of responsibilities and many expectations in which guys do not and they live happier life. One of the methods he uses to support his argument is a comparison. Other method he uses is the description of how he views “men” vs. “guys” and gives his perspective. And the last method he uses to further his argument is the use of hyperbole, exaggeration through out the essay.

Imagine audiences sitting in the movie theater trying to escape from the looming hardships of World War II. They sit and watch as the commercials begin to play when one of the most familiar tunes in animation begins. The commercial presents itself deceptively using the classic Looney Tunes curtain opening and theme music with the simple title of “Bugs Bunny.” The only hint at the true purpose of advertising at this point is the producer listing of the U.S. Treasury Dept. Defense Savings Staff. The curtains quickly open with an approaching Bugs Bunny miming the fife with his carrot as “The Girl I Left Behind” plays in the background. This is all set against a redrawing of the classic American painting “The Spirit of ‘76.” Bugs Bunny then begins to eat the carrot he’s been holding, when he suddenly begins the song “Any Bonds Today?”. Suddenly, the purpose of the commercial is finally revealed to the audience, with Bugs’ song telling people to buy war bonds. All throughout this he gestures, points and moves with an animated flair for the audience. He even exits and reenters frame with an Uncle Sam costume, eventually beginning to act like he’s passing out bonds to the audience. Until, with an animated twirl Bugs Bunny appears with blackface and a different singing voice, a parody of the blackface performance Al Jolson did in the movie “The Jazz Singer.” Finally, the picture pulls in close on Bugs’ face as he wipes away the paint and once the picture pulls back out the backdrop has changed. It shows a combat scene full of planes and ships as Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig appear to help close the advertisement with singing and dancing. As the song ends a simple war bonds ad pulls into frame. It now presents a Minuteman on the left and texts that reads “For Defense Buy United States Savings Bonds and Stamps.” The commercial relies heavily on its ethos and pathos to convince the audience into buying war bonds, using very little logos.

Stewart O’Nan’s Last Night at the Lobster presents the role of women as a guiding force on one’s decisions. O’Nan illustrates many instances in which the protagonist, Manny De Leon, struggles between doing what he wants to do and what is right. Whether these struggles be in regards to trivial or substantial conflicts, Manny repeatedly struggles in making smart decisions. O’Nan utilizes these instances to portray Manny’s inability to decide for himself. The protagonist’s lack of conscience juxtaposes the role of women both within Last Night at the Lobster and in contemporary times.

“Sexuality has an extremely complex relationship to gender relations in general and gender inequality in particular” (W R, 316). The sexual abuse that Tina suffered from when she was young was also another contributing factor. She became numb to the act and treats it as a source of currency to obtain favors; exercising her femininity when it became advantageous to her. She resents people who think low of her because of her sex, as shown in her fight with Frank (B S, 66).

Lena’s character often is the sexual aggressor and in control of the sexual dynamic in her relationships with men. Dirtiness, untidiness, and sloppiness are unconventional expressions for women, who are customarily taught to pluck, shave, diet and douche away the mess. As ____________ wrote, “Women come in all sizes, shapes and colors, but you wouldn’t know it from much fine art or pop culture, which have long venerated certain types of women while relegating others-like black or brown-to margins of

Choosing a topic for this paper brought great difficulty. However, with a brief comparison of the options it soon became clear what the topic was going to be: Parks and Rec. Parks and Rec is about a government employee named Leslie Knope, who aspires to become the first female president of the United States of America. Along her journey, Leslie encounters many obstacles that prevent her from advancing up in the government. The biggest problem she faces is backlash from the

The Breakfast Club is a timeless movie centered around the very relevant concept of discovering your identity and breaking away from stereotypes. It is about a group of 5 defiant high school students who are all forced to spend their Saturday in detention. The five main characters include Claire (Molly Ringwald) the princess, Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) the brain, Andrew (Emilio Estevez) the jock, Allison (Ally Sheedy) the weirdo, and John Bender (Judd Nelson) the criminal. These students have very different personalities and very little in common- or so they think.

Although the film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was meant to entertain a young audience with light-hearted content yet it had such a consequential effect. On June 30, 1971, the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was released. The film was written by Roald Dahl and directed by Mel Stuart. The motion picture acquires several examples of parallels with the Bible. There are five children that possessed the Golden Ticket and each child was faced with a disaster because they did not behave or sin. Even some adults like Mr. Wonka and Grandpa Joe sin themselves. Throughout the film, it shows the seven deadly sins gluttony, pride, sloth, greed, envy, anger, and lust.

Stephanie also mentions how all these shows on tv have the stereotypical females in them and they do that just to catch the attention of the audience more specifically the males. Also little girls ( age group of 7-12 years old) are already buying adult lingerie. I didn't even wear makeup or adult lingerie in my early teen years, the thought

In the film, “What about Bob?” the main character Bob seemed to have issues that interfered with his everyday life. It was a conflict in which he depended on Dr. Marvins approval of each action he would take. Such as, Bob calling the Doctor every minute. Through the Humanistic approach, Dr. Marvin viewed Bobs behavior as a whole and it helped him develop a stronger sense of self. Dr. Marvin served as Bob’s humanistic therapist to help him understand the meaning of life and how to move forward. Treating Bob from understanding to live his present and future life was done by having Dr. Marvin listen to Bob about what he is experiencing and how to overcome his issues. Mid way in the movie, while Bob showed up to Dr. Marvins house, they went outside

The Breakfast Club has multiple different types of people throughout the movie. In my case I thought I related to all of the students in a way. First I related to John Bender when things happened with his dad he has been a person to really defensive, and mean. I get really defensive and can act like a really rude person towards people sometimes, I saw that in him alot. John would also act up because of the relationship that he had with his father. I have to say me and my father's relationship is not the best, But that another story. Deep down John has a heart and cares about people, but he doesn't want to show that weak side, I see that in me.

If you are gay and have a little flare to you, it will usually be turned into flamboyant. The minority, usually African American, turns into the angry black person that believes everyone in the world is racist. Of course, the virgin tends to have a religious background and is seen as naive and closed minded. All the drama is usually stirred up by the drama queen who thinks everyone is out to get him/her or think they can rule the house. The party gets started with the frat boy who frequents local clubs and is the life of the party. If you already have stereotypes formed in your head of these particular types of people, MTV does a great job of intensifying those character flaws.

Lasse Hallstrom, director of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, uses film elements such as the setting of small town Endora, character development of for example main characters Gilbert (Jonny Depp), as well as Alan Parker and Bjorn Isfalt’s sound design and music to position the viewer to be hopeful and learn that change is inevitable by the end of the film. The film follows Gilbert Grape and his family struggling to survive after their father’s suicide with morbidly obese mother Bonnie (Darlene Cates) and mentally handicapped brother Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio) in the small town of Endora. The family feels trapped in this town, in their house, that “nothing ever changes” and that “they’re not going anywhere”.
