In February of 2002 I was three, and my family and I had just settled into our new house in West Hempstead. I can still remember the smell of the newly painted walls, the freshly polished floor, and the twinkle of the TV. Are you ready kids “Aye Aye Captain” I can’t hear you “AYE AYE CAPTAIN!” This is the sound that filled me with joy. I plopped down in front of the TV, and on the screen appeared a porous, yellow sponge with square pants. Blue eyed, with three eyelashes on each eye, two prominent front teeth, three freckles on each cheek; he wore a shirt with a red tie, brown trousers held up by a black belt and black shoes.
I can recall the eagerness, the excitement, to watch each new episode every afternoon. Way, way down beneath the sea

They can get mad at one another and make up just as quickly. For example, Patrick, telling SpongeBob it is easy being a fry cook, competes with SpongeBob in the games. They fight each other in a wrestling competition, where Mr. Krabs and Plankton try to convince their employees they are not really friends. In the end Patrick and SpongeBob become friends after they realize each of them has his underwear in the color of the other, and then they walk off into the sunset.
The relationship between Patrick and SpongeBob is something I long for. Patrick and SpongeBob taught me the importance of accepting others – and myself – for who we are. If we follow that rule eventually that special someone will come along, just like Patrick came along for SpongeBob, and be our best friend.
For years, I have spent my days watching this hilarious series. I watched SpongeBob irritate his next-door neighbor, go to work at the Krusty Krab and jelly fish with his best friend, Patrick Star. SpongeBob is my friend, my entertainer, and now my life coach. Now this may seem absurd because SpongeBob isn’t real, but if you think about it, this world would be a better place if he

For example, in season four episode three, when SpongeBob thinks he's lost his beloved pet snail Gary, he accepts the lesson with his usual bravery saying, "You never really know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory." Moreover, SpongeBob taught me to remember my manners, especially in unpleasant situations. For example, in season one episode 18b, when the Eel sits on SpongeBob in the movie theater, instead of rudely screaming at the Eel, Spongebob says, “Excuse me, sir, but you’re sitting on my body, which is also my
The more blunt side to Patrick relates to “The god of silliness and stupidity” (Greek Mythology). If Patrick Star has an I.Q. it is a negative number. Also, Patrick is the reason for all of the problems SpongeBob has to solve for him. Patrick creates mayhem for his friends just like Koalemos creates mayhem for his fellow gods (Theoi Koalemos). The sensitive and caring side of Patrick corresponds with Philotes, “the personification of affection and friendship” (Greek Myth Index). Out of all the factors making up the characterization of Patrick Star, the friendship he has with SpongeBob stands out the most. When talking about what Patrick does when SpongeBob is at work Patrick says, “I wait for you to come back” (spongybob). The only thing Patrick can truly focus on is friendship and loyalty. The personality of Patrick Star works well with Koalemos and Philotes.
Krabs, a character in the animated television series Spongebob Squarepants, to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Mr. Krabs shows OCD in a lot of episodes when he is continuously counting his money at the Krusty Krab. He will sit in his office and count the coins and the dollar bills repetitively. Mr. Krabs values money more than anything, even over himself, and will get angry when someone steals his money. He is always cheap when it comes to his daughter, Pearl, and two of his employees, Spongebob and Squidward, because they get paid low and won’t make a scene about it. For example, when Pearl is celebrating her sixteenth birthday party and she wanted to have the best birthday she ever had, Mr. Krab sent Spongebob to spy on Pearl and see what she wants as her perfect birthday present. While Pearl was shopping with her friends, Mr. Krab saved all of Pearl’s old childish decorations, made cake out of cardboard, and hired Squidward to perform songs from the band Boys Who Cry because Mr. Krab is cheap. Since Mr Krab was cheap, Pearl felt that he didn’t care about her enough. Surprisingly at the end, Spongebob was able to get everything that Pearl wanted from the mall and got Boys Who Cry to perform live for her but it did cost Mr. Krab’s credit card a lot of money which made him
Ricky was the oldest of five siblings with a towering frame, clean shaven sideburns, and a neatly kept goatee; he walked with his shoulder perch back and always had a stern look on his face, despite all that he had a smile that could melt any heart. We grew up in the hills of Jamaica, surrounded by beautiful sky blue waters, tall coconut trees and lush green mountains. At night, the millions of stars were a sight to behold. We siblings would play out in the yard all day until it was as late as 6 pm. Ricky would come riding his bike in the driveway and ask if our homework was done. If any of us said no, the play time that we had looked forward would turn into an unwilling study session.
Mr. Krabs is greedy (and should probably be on the show Extreme Cheapskates), Patrick is unintelligent (almost as dumb and useless as the rock he lives under), Spongebob is gullible, and Squidward is a misanthrope and extremely condescending, Plankton is envious, and Larry the Lobster is a self absorbed jock. The woman on the show are presented in a little bit better light, but still suffer from flaws. Miss Puff lets Spongebob constantly retake the boating examen when he should be failing, essentially allowing him to walk all over her. And Pearl, Mr. Krab’s daughter is extremely spoiled. The only character who is near flawless is Sandy Cheeks. She is independent, an innovative engineer, physically strong, and an extremely compassionate friend to Spongebob. This shows that women can be powerful in a society and is a good model for young developing girls. But, it brings a major issue in. Sandy is extremely accomplished, yet most of the time she is extremely lonely and extremely homesick. This serves as a direct parallel to how women in this day and age who become empowered can be subjected to loneliness and less
I hurried out to take the pup back to the nest, trying not to cause anymore trouble. I took the pup back to the nest and played with his soft fur with he rested in my lap. Time rushed by, and I spent most of my time in the barn with my brown and white pup. I don't think I could ever thank George or Slim enough for the pup. Slim walked in and he said the pup could get hurt if I pet it more, so I went to the bunkhouse. On my way to the bunkhouse, Carlson and I met up, and we entered the bunkhouse together. I went directly to my bed, I was very tired from all the barley bucking I did today. When I went to the bunkhouse, Curley and every man except George, Candy and me left to see a fight. They believed that Curley’s wife was with Slim, but he was in the barn, and she wasn’t in there. I got up from the bunk, and went to sit with George at the table. George brought up Andy Cushman, haven’t heard that name in a long time, but I remember, “his old lady used to make hotcakes”(56). I got distracted and started drumming out a song I heard not so long ago on the table. I really want to move to our own place an’ live offa the fatta the
SpongeBob is an uneducated and underpaid fry cook. His best friend is a mentally challenged pink starfish who doesn’t have a job and lives in a rock. His only other friends are a stingy crab (who is also his boss), a whale who is somehow the daughter of a crab, and a violent (and somewhat crazy) squirrel from Texas. Everyone else hates him because he is annoying and has destroyed many places, including the Krusty Krab and even the entire city of Bikini Bottom a few times. In fact, there’s a national No SpongeBob Day, and everyone celebrates it, including his best friend. However, he still stays happy and optimistic (most of the time). And if SpongeBob can do it, everyone else can. No matter what, every scenario has at least one positive part.
Patrick is Spongebob’s best friend, and together they partake in many mindless adventures, often to the chagrin of others especially Squidward. He has an overly exaggerated dumb persona, but is loveable at the same time. He is Spongebob’s faithful sidekick and extremely loyal. However, he unintendedly takes advantage of Spongebob, eating his food and taking his stuff. Patrick represents that one friend that overstays their welcome at your house, or always makes
Spongebob can be funny but is also very annoying considering his laugh and how every time you see Spongebob he has a problem. Spongebob takes the place of an irresponsible high schooler. Spongebob is very care less he reminds me of some I know in my family. Spongebob
Now the show is just a mockery of the original Spongebob and needs to just end. Spongebob started off his series as an intelligent, yet misguided figure. He was not a character that was consistently making stupid mistakes. He knew what he was doing most of the time, but did make a couple mistakes every once and awhile like every character does. Then after the Spongebob Movie in 2004 he has become a floundering imbecile who is basically too stupid to live.
We’ve all heard of the popular children’s television show “Spongebob Squarepants”, but what you might not know is that each of the characters represent the seven deadly sins. At first glance, it may seem like Spongebob Squarepants offers nothing more valuable than a few laughs here and there. People have failed to notice, however, that maybe their favorite show as a kid is trying to send a message to our impressionable youth. Unless people change their views about Spongebob Squarepants, they will never understand the larger question of “how can I apply this show to my life?” This is not the most controversial conspiracy, but if we can find the true meaning of Spongebob, we can go on with our lives without worrying about what really goes on
I missed him terribly and often asked my mother when he was coming home. Even though I adored having Oma living with us, my heart felt a void that only my father could fill. One morning, as I happened to look out of the window, I saw my father walking beside his bicycle, with one hand on the handlebars and the other holding onto our Grundig radio, which was tied to the backseat. I asked my mother where he was taking her precious radio, not wanting to explain that he was taking it to his new apartment, Mom fibbed and said that he was taking it to a repair shop. To keep us believing that our father was sailing on a Marine ship, he would occasionally come home for a short visit, before “having to report for duty” again. He brought presents from (supposed) far away lands, beautiful dolls with blue eyes blond hair with movable legs and arms. We treasured those dolls, I named mine Princess Irene and Ellen named hers Princess Beatrix; after the princess daughters of Queen Juliana from the
I am pleased to announce that Sponge Bob no longer reins supreme in Charlee’s choice of TV entertainment. I often thought the creators of Sponge Bob smoked a ton of weed whilst working. Provocative and suggestive are understatements in my opinion. America never ceases to amaze me in regards to what becomes popular.
Ohhh who lives in pineapple under the sea Spongebob Squarepants and his best friend Patrick. In the show spongebob Spongebob and his best friend Patrick have some things in common with each other like both of them love jelly fishing, krabby patties, their pets and the Krusty krab. They are very alike in many ways but I wonder how much differences there are between them.I believe that Patrick can drive a boat mobile (car) while Spongebob had to take a class forever and still doesn't have his boating license (driving license) and he took this class for about 1 to 3 years and the same thing keeps happening he crashes the car and then it blows up also they have different pets Spongebob has a pet that he Gary is kinda like a cat it meows and purrs
I grew up in a household slightly different from the average household. This abnormal household showed me that no matter the family unit someone can have a positive influence in their life that will push them to achieve their goals. We lived in Maryland so the cost of living was high my parents had to work multiple jobs. This means my brother and I really had little to none parental or supervision growing up. I am only four years younger than my brother so I would hang with his crowd of friends rather than mine. In my household, my mother’s niece, Monet lived with us she is about ten years older than my brother. When my brother and I would wake up and I would be the only person in the house. I can remember waking up and smelling the freshly cooked waffles and bacon downstairs. Monet was my mother’s brother, daughter. Monet became so close to my brother Avery and I she was almost as if she was our sister. I can remember growing up and she would always say, “You don't have to take the route I took, its many more exits on the highway.” Even though I was young I was not blind to the fact of Monet role in the community and her neighborhood job I never judged her, she did what she had to do to make ends meet. It was an experience every day, or anytime being with Monet. She was so popular around Maryland it was almost like everywhere we went we received respect love. Now that I look back at the past, I see that Monet has taught me a lot that I know and live by today. I could
It was Christmas Eve of 2000: my nine year-old brother was given The Marshall Mathers LP from our uncle. I remember everyone looking around the room – almost completely silent due to the surprise of a child’s gift with the words “Parental Advisory Explicit Content” written all over the cover of it. I was only five so my favorite songs were from The Wizard of Oz and I was clueless as to why this CD was such a big deal, but in the next months I found myself consumed by the man rapping on the speakers in my brother’s room. Let’s flash forward, though. Now I’m ten: the world is no longer rainbows and kindergarten. My world turned dark that year, yet there I was standing tall; putting
