Sue Ellen Satire

This film used comedy to help scent the different characteristics of each sub-genre. There was classic rom-com comedy of the boy trying to get the girl and failing. The juvenile comedy often seen in some buddy comedies was well. And throughout the movie we saw a satirical take on religion as well as the juxtaposition between reality and the musical numbers in the film.

This article “One and Done” is an excerpt from her book “One and Only” and the reviews of this book come from extremely credible sources such as the New York Times, therefore establishing her credibility. The author’s purpose for writing this piece is to argue that having one child is not “detrimental” to the child psychologically, and only-children are not different than kids with siblings. This piece was written July 7, 2010 so the research and studies are very up to date. The main points of this article started out with the argument of why Sandler herself decided to have one child, and this is based on how “the economy is sluggish… and raising kids cost a bundle. She describes the effects of the recession on the number of children women bear, and points out that women are having less and less children because of their high costs. Sandler then goes on to discuss why people urge families to have more than one child, and she uses personal experience of a cashier in a store to exemplify the pressure of having more kids. Sandler investigates why there is such an aversion to have only one child, “single children are perceived as spoiled, selfish, solitary misfits,” because this is such a believable stereotype, parents are pressured to have multiple children because they “don’t want to do that to their child.” Sandler uses the study by Granville Stanley Hall to act as a counterargument

One thing I personal liked about the film was how the theme binds all these characters together is pain. They’re all damaged in some way and are forced to reach out and help each other when they’ve reached rock bottom. Those moments are the most beautiful to watch because there’s no judgment, just community. I enjoyed that about the movie the most because still today you have a lot of situation where are more likely to judge you then to help. Which I feel is very sad because in today society people will talk about you and laugh instead of seeing what the problem is or possible helping you to correct the problem.

The script conveys solid messages and themes about second chance, never giving up, and believing in one’s self.

Aging can be more than wrinkles, fine lines and grey hairs. In this photo, this woman appears to not feel confident with her age and her appearance. Makeup artists or doctors are on either side of her face, holding up cosmetics as if they were to fix up any of the “issues” that came with aging. “How can I be envious of where you are, when I've been there myself,” (Album 121) expressed Morrie to Mitch. Morrie explained to Mitch how he’d already been all of these ages and how deep down each of those parts of his life are still him in one way or another. He finds that people don't appreciate how the aging process is not only decaying. It is the act of growth in oneself, and people need to understand that than work up on the physical attributes

As Anne Frank once wisely stated, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world” (citation???). She probably was not thinking of satire in entertainment when she wrote this, but I think it fits perfectly. Satire is a technique that aims to reform society, often times through humor (I used parts of definitions from pdf… how do I cite it). There are popular television shows that employ this technique in order to better the world. In Ellen Degeneres’ daytime talk show she satirizes politicians through a skit that pokes fun at people who are against issues such as: gay marriage and reaching across the aisle.

Victoria is in her teens and she face problems with how she looks and her Chinese heritage. She is interested in fashion and make up because she wants to fit in with the society: “Victoria had always liked to dress up”.

She states, “After a while you forget / what you really look like. / You think your mouth is the size it was. / You pretend not to care” (Atwood, 771). Her skin has also aged and is paler; it no longer has “the golden slick / of fresh spread-margarine” (Atwood, 771). She talks about how the clothes she has worn are
