The Simpsons: The Secret To Successful Marriage

"The Simpsons" basis, a father, a mother, and three kids, is far from unusual. The "typical" American is a blue-collar worker not unlike the father, Homer, who works a mindless job at the local nuclear power plant in the Simpsons' hometown of Springfield which is basically Anytown, USA. Marge, the mother, is a fairly typical housewife besides her large blue beehive hairdo. Bart, is the rebellious older son; Lisa, the under-appreciated middle child; and Maggie, the adorable baby. The Simpsons don't live in luxury, but they are a generally happy family that encounters the problems of everyday, and not-so-everyday, life, something that millions can relate to. But there is something that sets "The Simpsons" apart from the

On the other hand, later, in the middle of the book, Mother Maria Marthe reveals she was never planning on paying Homer to begin with, even though, these were the terms Homer thought he would originally be working on. After this, Homer went through a short time truly considering leaving the nuns, because he thought the work was so unreasonable for one man and outrageous, since he wouldn’t receive any benefits. The audience soon realizes that he actually continues and accepts help from other volunteers. From experience in my life and those of others, I can say that sometimes doing the right thing or completing a task you do not want to do like finishing your homework can sound hard and miserable at first, yet we soon realize that when we do the task, it does not only benefit ourselves, but those around

Today’s society lives in a world that would cause much confusion to others in the past. The people who are “known” are not necessarily people who are loved. Many so called celebrities have just as many haters and they do fans, but that does not stop them from becoming a household name. For example, the Kardashians are a household name across the world. Many people love them, but just as many people love to hate them. Even though, people do not like them it does not stop the family from being one of the most known families in the world. Even if someone has a strong hatred for the family, it does not mean that their name won’t ever come out of their mouth. The love hate relationship society has with the Kardashians reflect how in this society

On one hand, Christians would see the fact that the Simpson home burned and that Homer was saved by Flanders as divine retribution and a second chance by God for Homer’s refusal to attend weekly services. On the other, atheists would say that the fact that Homer saw God in his dreams would be simply another instance of people using easily explained natural phenomena to reinforce their biases and confirmation bias when Homer reinforces his belief in God by being saved by Flanders (Confirmation Bias). Nevertheless, the show accommodates many different cultures and beliefs. Pinksy says “individually, family members represent a spectrum of belief, from Homer's fear-based neo-paganism, to Marge's true belief, to Lisa's disenchantment with mainline, socially conscious Protestantism, in favor of Buddhism” as well as the fundamentalist Flanders family. He also adds that “other, non-Protestant denominations and faiths also figure in episodes—Catholicism, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism (but not Islam)” (Pinsky). Regardless, the show has been criticized by Christians since its

Homer wasn't interested in marriage in any way with a possibility of being gay, in any case she couldn't risk loss again. The story tells us Homer's final resting place, giving us a conclusion to all of Emily’s strange activities. In the story the town saw her hair go grey, when she died her hair had grown iron grey. “Invisible dust dry and acrid in the nostrils, we saw a long strand of iron-gray hair” (Faulkner). The strand of Emily's hair found on Homer is a time-teller making it known that she was with him even years after.

It is shown and based on research that Homer has Intermittent Explosive disorder. Intermittent Explosive disorder is a condition that is characterized to unable resist aggressive behavior which can cause assault or property damage. Signs and symptoms in this disorder are irritability, rage, aggressive impulsive acts, racing thoughts during aggressive acts, despair and remorse after actions, and can cause divorce, job loss and suspension from school.
