Satire Essay On Prom

When it comes to prom girls have to be sure they get a dress and make sure no one gets the same one as them, there’s an after party to figure out, there has to be groups made for pictures and there needs to be a decision on tables and all of this, of course, is on top of the fact that everyone wants to go with a date and if you don’t have one then you probably won’t go. As a girl, I get drama but the prom drama is not worth it. It is not worth getting upset about. Prom is going to happen regardless if you and your friends go or not, if you fuss about it or not and if you deem prom worth it or not. Although, I do believe the fussing and fighting that prom brings is not worth it, prom overall is still worth it to

A relationship? Something meaningful? Forever? HA! All ploys and devious schemes devised by horifically cruel creatures, in order to have their every wish granted for all of eternity. These terms were created to destroy our lives, they were created by the most evil and demented of all creatures, The Female. Ask any boyfriend, or should I say "slave", and they will tell you that the Female is a very mean creature that gets her every way without any questions. They turn us into their servants and force us into a permanent relationship, or a permanent "slavery", as I prefer to call it.

While many will agree that Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is critically acclaimed to be one of the most entertaining and well-liked pieces that he has written, there tends to be a discrepancy over how the characters in the play are portrayed when it comes to the importance of gender roles. After reading James C Bulman’s article over the Globe’s more recent performance of Twelfth Night and Shakespeare’s original written version, I realized that there are many ways that this famous piece has been portrayed and each has its own pros and cons.

To sustain someone’s interest is a difficult task. It is important to do so in just about every aspect of life. On a day to day basis, one must sustain the interest of many different people. It is especially important for writers to be able to sustain a reader or viewer’s interest. In Jonathon Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” and the well-known movie Mean Girls, both writers use a variety of satire to attract and sustain the reader’s interest.

When I arrived here at college I was extremely disappointed with the selection of food here in the cafeteria. I frequently found myself eating only hamburgers and pizza over and over again, simply because I did not like the other choices. About four months into the school year I had do go to the doctor for a virus and when the nurse weighed me I was a little surprised by what I saw. I had gained a little over ten pounds, close enough to what some refer to as the “Freshman 15.” It is a common fear among college students that they are going to gain fifteen pounds during the course of adjusting to college life. However experts have stated that the idea of the so called “Freshman 15,” is not that accurate. Every college student is obviously

The main social group portrayed in the cartoon “On Satire” by Joe Sacco, published in The Guardian, is the cartoonists. “On Satire” portrays other cartoonists as obnoxious, insensitive cavemen who often cross the line between satire and just outright offensive mockery of the religious beliefs of Muslims. The purpose of the cartoon is to ridicule the black and white way of representation/depiction of all Muslims as terrorists. Also he is aiming to get governments and news outlets to consider ways in which to stop terrorism by understanding where they are coming from instead of just eradicating all Muslims and hoping that terrorism dies with them.

The film that I chose to write about is a Paramount Pictures presentation titled Mean Girls, starring Lindsay Lohan and also featuring a handful of Saturday Night Live cast members, including Tina Fey the author of this picture. The reason behind choosing this film is because it has a unique style of introducing characters, transitioning between scenes, and various tools to help spice up the film. Being one of my personal favorites, Mean Girls is a comedy about a home schooled teenage girl who enters high school for the first time. She tries to figure herself out by where she can fit in and who she needs to become friends with.

Plip Plop goes the pitter patter of the rain on the freshly cut grass on the sidewalk leading to the inside of the school. I walk slowly to my locker as my friends and I talk about the football game that was going to be playing after school. I open my locker and grab my books out of it. I shove my fat backpack and heavy jacket into it and run before the first bell rings. I plop my books onto the desk next to Samantha Miller, the most popular girl in school. She instantly starts talking. Especially first period. Social Studies is the worst to have in the morning. Getting up early in the morning, to come to school all groggy only to hear about a bunch of old dead people who apparently just couldn’t stop asking for freedom. Like STOP LIVING IN THE PAST.

Ever since 1997, South Park has revolutionized the cable TV scene as a profane and obscene program that isn’t afraid to mock religious, political, and cultural topics and not get away with at least offending somebody. Throughout its twelve seasons, some of the most prominent events in pop culture have suffered the wrath of ridicule from the show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and succeeded in making millions of Americans laugh until they cry. The creative genius behind these cultural and controversial statements has exalted the series to iconic status in our entertainment industry for its satirical voice in each episode. Throughout its ten years on air, South Park has broken multiple political,

During the Age of Enlightenment, people began believing in and relying upon rational thought instead of religious dogma to explain the world. This newfound emphasis on rationality promoted a breadth of freedom in speech that was previously unknown, a fact which was utilized by philosophers such as John Locke, Rousseau, and Sir Isaac Newton. In addition, the Age of Enlightenment produced famous writers who didn’t agree with the irrational politics and old traditions of their respective countries, and instead relied upon wit and satire to expose the corruption and poor human condition existing around them. These Enlightenment writers use irony in their satires to get their interpretations regarding the human condition across.

In Shakespeare’s play, Twelfth Night or What you Will, the characters are involved in a plot complete with trickery, disguise, and love. Each character is defined not by his or her gender or true identity, but by the role they are forced to take because of the complicated situation that arises. Unlike their gender, the speech the characters give an insight to their true personalities. In the Twelfth Night, the character Duke Orsino uses flowery and over-dramatic language, long poetic sentence structure, and melodramatic metaphors to display his overemotional romantic nature despite the different emotions in his various speeches.

The most prominent separation between the two adaptations is the final climatic scene on prom night. The two major distinctions are Carrie kissing Tommy and killing her gym teacher in De Palma’s version. Carrie kissing Tommy is significant, because it is an act of betrayal against Sue, a fellow female. In Peirce’s version, Carrie also gets swept up in the moment and is about to kiss Tommy, but stops herself as a gesture of respect for Sue. In De Palma’s version every woman is for herself and ready to terrorize or betray any woman to get what she wants. The lack of diversity in female characters leads to a message that all women are innately selfish and destructive people. Even as an adult, Ms. Collins laughs at the pig’s blood being dropped on Carrie. Although it is highly unrealistic that an educator, who has been supportive and protective over Carrie, would laugh at such a childish and reprehensible act, De Palma includes the gym teacher’s betrayal and consequential death by Carrie. The adult female is then labeled as the same antagonist as the adolescent girls, cementing De Palmas message of the horror of femininity. Peirce’s version circumvents this portrayal and shows a concerned Ms. Desjardin. Carrie in her anger is about to strangle Ms. Desjardin, but she realizes her genuine friendship and spares her life. Through the chaos and destruction it is a moment of kindness, which mirrors Peirce’s adaptation in general incorporating moments of kindness and respect between

When I look back on this day now, I still remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I was so proud, and happy to be able to celebrate such an amazing day with all of my friends and family. I know I will never forget how embarrassed I was walking across the stage in front of all of those people, feeling famous after taking so many pictures, making our final memories together at our graduation parties, and then being a nervous wreck when it was time to go out into the world without my best friends at my side. High school graduation day was a very emotional day for me, but it was by far the most exciting day I have ever experienced in my
