Colonial America has had its patches of conflict and strife. From the struggle for independence, to trouble with native peoples, to sickness, the colonies were no stranger to hardship. One of the most infamous historical events within the colonies was the Salem Witch Trials. Cotton Mather’s account of “The Trial of Martha Carrier” gives insight into this dark period in American history, including the root of the conflict that sentenced so many women to be executed in one short year.

Chris Lilley's Summer Heights High is a highly controversial mockumentary that showcases 3 different over exaggerated characters. One of them is Jonah Takalua, a stereotypical Tongan delinquent. Many have praised his work, saying that it is a clever use of satire to convey important criticisms of today's society. However after learning about satire myself throughout this unit I have determined that Summer Heights High is an unsuitable and highly ineffective show for teaching satire in secondary school due to the high levels of crude language and stereotypical humour shown in Jonah that conceals the satirical techniques used. Jonah has been represented extremely ineffectively through the poor use of the satirical techniques of exaggerated caricature and ridicule which certainly have the potential to influence students negatively. Lilley’s social criticism of the view that all Polynesian students are seen as trouble makers, is lost by his overemphasis on the very behaviours he is satirising.

The power of comedy is that it takes contemporary issues and stretches them to the extreme and then puts the exaggerated picture of who we are as a society back in our faces. Back a while ago, comedian great Mike Myers played Pitka in the movie flop "The Love Guru". During a number of scenes, Pitka would make comments, realize that they were catchy, and then quickly tack on and little "TM" to his statement. The idea was that he was trademarking everything clever that he said. Ridiculous? That's why it's comedy.

The poems “I hear America Singing” and “I, Too” have different perspectives on the American lifestyle in the 1800s compared to the 1900s. When reading the poems it is obvious that the poem “I, Too” is replying to “I hear America Singing” because Hughes’s poem matches in accordance with Whitman’s opinion. The poems are similar while also having challenging views that contradict each other in terms of tone, position in society, and discrimination.

From neuroscientists to comedians themselves, O’Hara litters the article with reliable experts to ensure the points made in the article are diverse and rooted in credibility. Without these resources, saying that “[c]omedy is more than just a pleasant way to pass an evening”(2) would be disregarded as a matter of opinion. By supplying each point with an array of examples, O’Hara manages to show the reader that many beside herself share her points. After planting a statement, O’Hara makes sure that she backs up her claims with plenty of evidence. When examining how comedy changes people’s views of certain minority groups, O’Hara lays out two different examples of real situations where this is put into affect. She touches on the homosexual community, disabled community, and even on a man who shared his experience from being a policeman “to expose nonsensical policies”(5). By both using multiple resources and sharing numerous examples, O’Hara successfully convinced the reader that comedy does indeed hold a very significant place in our

The original “Dixie” is a song written in the nineteenth century about the magnificence of the southern United States. The poem itself is about a woman’s lover being hung and the protagonist grieving over the ordeal, all while taking place in Dixie. Hughes usage of the word “Dixie” so often in the poem might imply that the protagonist blames the south for the death of her lover; if they were somewhere else, such as the north, the death probably would not have happened. These contrasting meanings has a huge effect on the reader, if, that is, the reader is familiar with the original
