Moving forward we will focus our attention on Australian comedy movies, their particularities, nature of the humor. As a source for the study we chose two movies, family comedy-drama Red dog directed by Kriv Stenders and different comedy-drama Muriel’s Wedding. Red dog, more comedy or drama?

I was trying to sleep on the night of November 9th, 2016 when I heard screams coming from my floor in my dormitory. Not screams of happiness, but screams of pain, screams echoing the feeling that chances to better the nation were thrown to the wayside. That night, Donald Trump, a joke throughout the election cycle, was elected the President of the United States. The next day, a gray sheet of cloud covered the skies, rain occasionally pattered on the roofs of buildings, and trees looked lifeless.

On June 30, 2017, I interviewed my grandmother Nancy Fabrizi to talk about some cultural differences she faced when coming over from Abrizzi, Italy in 1949. I chose to interview my grandmother because she came to North America when she was only 14 years old and she came during a time where there were many cultural differences between Italy and North America. Nancy and her uncle decided to start fresh and travel to Canada from Italy on a ship to hopefully have a better way of living. Little did Nancy

On most Tuesdays, freshman Amanda Moeller tries to wake up around 5 AM to have a decent breakfast, study her scriptures, and get ready for her first class. December 5, however, didn’t start out quite as she planned it. With the time reading 6:10 AM on her alarm clock, Moeller had to forgo her typical schedule just to make it to class on time.

Throughout the daily course of one’s life, he or she enacts distinct social roles in order to effectively communicate with others. Whether talking to a parent, a boss, or just a friend, one partakes in the act of code-switching, formally defined as changing from one variety of language, dialect, or behavior to another as the situation demands (Lavenda & Schultz 2016, 33). However, these episodes of code-switching can be influenced by many factors that may affect one’s ability to do so. I interviewed

These two types of people can be further characterized into two groups: those who do not change are weak, and those who do change are strong. Charles Darwin established a theory that states how what makes a person
