- 16051: Prime-time Animation
- ... is made possible by the fact that it is a cartoon. Hence, it is more acceptable in this form, and that applies to the rest of The Simpsons as well. Futurama is another of Groening's animations. Like The Simpsons, it too "has all the sly Groening hallmarks for subversive, amusing, sharply written pop culture fun. Besides those Planet Kevorkian curbside suicide booths, loopy life in New New York in the ... 3000 includes the Church of Robotology, JFK Jr. Airport and a chain of silicon convenience stores called the Implant Hut (Duffy, )." Futurama, however, takes place well into the future. This is owing to Matt Groening's aspirations to create a farce of science fiction in a distinctively warped animated series (Groening, ). The Simpsons, and the genre of prime-time animations it started, contain many stereotypes on Western and pop culture. Family Guy falls into this genre. "There's dad Peter, a fat quality control inspector in a toy factory where his, um, flamboyant boss lets him get away with sleeping on the job because he's got the hots for him. Mom ...

- 16053: William Wodsworth
- ... and inspiration. Like Wordsworth and his other close associate, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the relationship between William and Dorothy can be seen in each of their literary works. This is no more evident than in William's "I wandered lonely as a cloud" and Dorothy's April 15, 1802 published journal entry. Both of these works describe a field of daffodils, one in poetry, one in prose. The similarities between the two depictions of Dorothy's experience are not difficult to see. For instance, the subject matter, the basic course of events, and some word choices in the two renderings are identical. However, when one looks closer at these two ...

- 16056: The History Of Greek Theater
- ... were depicted and glorified. It was believed that man should live for honor and fame, his action was courageous and glorious and his life would climax in a great and noble death. Originally, the heros recognition was created by selfish behaviors and little thought of service to others. As the Greeks grew toward city-states and colonization, it became the destiny and ambition of the hero to gain honor by ... The second major characteristic of the early Greek world was the supernatural. The two worlds were not separate, as the gods lived in the same world as the men, and they interfered in the mens lives as they chose to. It was the gods who sent suffering and evil to men. In the plays of Sophocles, the gods brought about the heros downfall because of a tragic flaw in the character of the hero. In Greek tragedy, suffering brought knowledge of worldly matters and of the individual. Aristotle attempted to explain how an audience could observe ...
- 16057: What Makes Up A Work Of Literature
- ... A Work Of Literature A work of literature may be defined as a classic because it promotes deep insight into human behavior. Both The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey give a reader a complete understanding of what is going on inside of the heads of the characters. This insight into the characters can be used as a general insight into human behavior. One insight is that a person's physical abilities can be controlled by their mental awareness and stat e of being. Another is that they see themselves in relation to those around them. In The Scarlet Letter, a reader is presented with the feelings of Chillingworth, Hester's (the main character) husband, and Dimmesdale (Hester's partner in adultry), as they are destroyed mentally as well as physically. Chillingworth is afraid of being dishonored by being known as the husband of a ...
- 16058: The Awakening: Chopin Glorifying Edna's Fatal Situation
- The Awakening: Chopin Glorifying Edna's Fatal Situation The title, The Awakening, implies that a rebirth from a stupor into self- awareness is something good. One would expect that someone who was once sleeping is better off and can see more clearly when he is fully awake. But this expectation is exactly opposite to Edna's condition. She is not awake. She is eventually drawn by the sea and drowns herself. She was deceived. Edna fails to see that the connection of a mother to her children is far more important than the enjoyment of a passion which experience has taught her. By the title of this book, Chopin is glorifying Edna's fatal situation. Edna does not exist and never will. It is useless and perhaps dangerous to make judgments about these characters. Assuming that their situations and the outcomes of their behavior are applicable to ...
- 16059: Katherine Mansfields Short Sto
