April's Fancy Party Analysis

Improved Essays
A dark, sarcastic intern turned office assistant and a happy go lucky musician turned shoe shine don’t sound like the most obvious couple in the world, but for April Ludgate and Andy Dwyer, it’s a perfect match. Over the seven seasons of NBC’s hit Parks and Recreation April and Andy’s relationship develops from an unlikely friendship, into a crush, and finally in the episode titles “Andy and April’s Fancy Party” (3x9) we see them get married. Their relationship is as unique as their individual personalities, but frankly, neither of them seems to care. Both April and Andy openly express their feelings for one another in interesting ways, but no viewer can contest the fact that they are very much in love. Although they may not look like a conventional

    I selected "Party Time" by Tantra Bensko. The story is about Clyde Hancock's excursion into a strange l little town called Naryway, where a man skipping in the train might be caused to call the police, set the dogs loose, of even split his throat. The man send to be paid to spy on the town's inhabitants, but in this night he runs into an owl who causes an accident when it tries to fly off with him. Ultimately, Clyde is killed by the owl and it is made clear that though this sort of thing happens often in Naryway, no one will remember it as the owl feats on the memories. I chose this story because it seemed interesting and admittedly because it was written in a rather standard fashion.…

    Janie and Tea Cake’s decision to stay in the Everglades during the off season indicates that they are not as poor as their friends. Traditionally, migrant workers move from place to place to find work and do not have the financial means to stay in one place. I am assuming that Janie and Tea Cake are using Janie’s money from Eatonville to support themselves until they can work in the fields again. Mrs. Turner’s beliefs come off as highly confusing and hypocritical.…

    It was effective to use humor in all of the stories but only appropriate in Crane's "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". In Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" an old widow (Emily) dies and the town’s people learn horrible revelations of what Emily did. Faulkner uses humor to describe the unusual way she killed her boyfriend but kept his corpse so she could be with him. The dark form of humor in this story was not appropriate because loving a corpse who you killed is disgusting. Despite being inappropriate, the humor was effective because it matched well with the dark tone of the story.…

    In the story, “A Rose for Emily,” William Faulkner debates with the reader on whether or not Mrs. Emily Grierson is, in fact, mentally unstable. To begin the story, Emily Grierson has died and the “…whole town went to her funeral: the men through sort of a respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house” (Faulkner, pg. 1 para. 1).…

    In the stories, the narrators are faced with situations that show their true feelings, which builds the tension between themselves and their parents. In Confetti Girl, the narrator's perspective about her dad and his intentions creates tension when she shows him sarcasm. Since the dad is an English teacher, he was curious about her own English class and it became the topic of the conversation. He began to teach her about prefixes; the narrator clearly feels annoyed with her dad when she sarcastically replies, “It could have been super-duper or super-loop for all I care,” (paragraph 17). The narrator’s different perspective of the situation caused her to sarcastically remark to show mockery and annoyance with her dad.…

    “Paying for the Party,” conveys the roles and choices made by college students, specifically female students from different classes at Midwest University (MU). The authors Armstrong and Hamilton observe how the decision made by these students may affect their social standings through out and after their college life. Based on a five-year long study the authors interviewed college women who were living in the “party dorm” at MU. They differentiated these women into three different classes, upper middle class, lower middle class, and working class. Then they split each class into four different categories: the first being “primed to party” which were wealthier students whom partying was important, the second were “cultivated for success” which were students who had certain academic goals to achieve and were financially supported by their parents, the third were “motivated for…

Middle-to-upper class individuals’ judgements of lower class people, particularly Manny and his employees at the Red Lobster, emphasizes the natural human inclination to make assumptions based on the superficial characteristics of appearance, profession, and presumed education level. Their unfair conclusions about Manny and his coworkers convey the societal ostracism and limitations that lower class people face. Accumulation of judgments often results in the development of one’s societal status,…
