Weird Tales

The movie Spy Hard with Leslie Nielson is the one movie that I choose to write on. It is a slapstick comedy with plenty of scenes that the director makes the audience happy. The film is written to an older audience, but it will make young kids laugh throughout the movie. Since it is a spy movie, it has plenty of interesting scenes that may not be suited for young kids. Also, there is some adult content throughout the movie. Therefore, it is not recommend allowing kids to view this movie. The Spy

Spending the last two years working full-time at my father’s hardware store has been a period of major personal growth for me. For the first time, I took on a serious role in the business.

Weird Al Yankovic created song parodies while finding humor to innovate ways to accomplish creating a world of laughter. The parodies were hilarious and stayed on one topic, and that is what made his songs so great. Weird Al Yankovic created parodies

Weird Al's funny songs are one reason for his popularity and financial success. Weird Al's popularity came from transforming famous songs into unique and entertaining parodies. He decided to embrace the awkwardness of pop culture and turn it into a subject that people can laugh at. In one of Weird Al's songs, “White and Nerdy,” he sings of the life of a nerdy boy. He dresses up in button downs and wears glasses while acting out stuff that a nerdy person would do. The song, having one hundred and

Amanda DeFrehn Professor T.J. Boynton English 201 1 April 2014 In the book, The Old Weird America, the author, Greil Marcus, interprets Bob Dylan’s album, The Basement Tapes, and its “weird” views on the old America. Marcus compares Dylan’s music to several well-known people’s music and speeches in such a way to support his argument about how past historical events affected the public eye. He believes that the mood, instrumentation, and not as noticeably, the lyrics all lead up to the fear,

The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue impressively. The impressiveness was habitual and not for show, for spectators were few. The time was barely 10 o'clock at night, but chilly gusts of wind with a taste of rain in them had well nigh de–peopled the streets. Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cast his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture

similarities and differences, however, ol’higue/ soucouyant tales most prominently manifest this trend. I will make the claim that two folktales of ol’higue, one from Trinidad and one from Guyana, can be used to examine differences and similarities. From this point, I will prove that each element, whether similar or different, can be explained by historical, cultural, or social factors of its originating country.

The Canterbury Tales. This literature has been around for a very long time. The Canterbury Tales are a very historic piece of literature. He specifically talks about many characters in the stories. He describes them in a way that nobody has done before. However, the way he wrote the stories and described the characters can make a reader not understand them very well. Overall, The Canterbury Tales are very boring, complex, and full of weird descriptions. The chosen topics of the tales were dull and

“Just Kidding” (A Written Analysis of Three Characters I would chose to be in The Canterbury Tales) The words “just kidding” mean so many different things if you think about it. It could mean that they truly are just kidding, it could mean that they aren't kidding but they do feel bad about what they said and they just don't want you to know that you're really telling the truth. How are we supposed to know the difference between the reasonings though? My topic for this essay is to
