Another type of political comedy that is often undervalued today is political cartoons. Prior to the television becoming a mainstream medium, political cartoons constituted the majority of political comedy.

At the beginning of Sarah Polley’s 2013 Stories We Tell, a quote by Margret Atwood appears and states that, “In the end, we’ll all become stories” (Polley). This quote leads to the main message of the film involving storytelling and the profound significance it carries in life.

plays and they hear “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan. It’s the famous commercial that tugged at everyone’s heartstrings back in 2007 (http://www.redbookmag.com/life/pets/news/a41805/sarah-mclachlan-aspca-commercial/), but the reason for its popularity can be described with the elements of an argument. Indeed, an argument is being made with those sad puppy eyes, and it is one that’s being made to appeal the crying audience.

never had any interest in the Terminator until I saw Daenerys Targeryan as Sarah Connor in the latest Terminator: Genisys. To add to the recipe, Arnold Schwarzenegger being funny is something to look forward to. The trailer is very inviting with a preview of the twisted plot, you will want to add the movie to your weekend to-do-list. The Terminator: Genisys takes us back to 1984 where the T-1000 from Skynet is sent to kill Sarah Connor. John Connor sent his right hand man, Kyle Reese, back in time to

Clean is a song anyone

While trying to widen their reach to more people and raise their credibility, the ASPCA uses singer, Sarah McLachlan, as their narrator which spreads their audience range and adds a face to their cause. Using Sarah McLachlan as narrator and as a supporter, the ASPCA builds their credibility by giving their audience a face that they can recognize and trust. The fact that the commercial says she is a supporter
