Comedy of manners

Almost Christmas is such a wonderful movie that I recommend to anyone. This movie is a great comedy to watch with families and friends. Almost Christmas has some great cast members that act their role phenomenally. Scenes in Almost Christmas will have you in tears from laughter or heartfelt moments. I recommend Almost Christmas because it’s a holiday movie, comedy, and relatable. Holiday movies are the best movies to watch. The title of the movie ‘Almost Christmas’ lets you know that it is…

Handicap story by Matisse “Hey! How many trees does it take to screw in a light bulb?” Asked Roger, as he took another shot of whatever he was drinking.”How many?” replied Henry, just as drunk as Roger. “To get to the other side!” explained Roger, mixing up the jokes. They had been in the casino for two hours, twenty three minutes and forty seven seconds; the time was ten thirty four P.M. Lee knew this without a timepiece, and he was thinking of leaving. Lee had Savant Syndrome, so he…

Campbell’s (1989) outline of narrative structure, illustrates the mechanism that allowed of The Simpsons to become so popular. Campbell’s ‘Hero’s Journey’ shows how a character is able to transform throughout a story, journeying into the ‘abyss’ in order to change. This narrative structure appeals to so many as it is the vehicle in which everyone lives. Everyone journeys from the known (Home, Family etc) to the unknown (Work, Stress, Challenges) in order to grow as individuals. The Simpsons was…

Much to thy surprise, my course of events today became larger than expected! Just this morning, my fellow tradesmen and I paraded the streets of Rome, yet Flavius and Marullus, two tribunes, interrupted our celebrations. Marullus, seemingly in bad spirits like a trapped rat, asked me which trade I performed, which evoked me to answer, “Truly, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am but, / as you would say, a cobbler” (Act I. Scene I. Lines 10-11). Much to his surprise, however, I also included a…

The reading discourse community of which I am a member is atypical in the sense that it consist of early 19th century and late 18th century literature. I take great delight in reading books from authors of the aforementioned times for a fair amount of reasons: their elegant style of writing, as well as their expressive nature when conveying matters. If ever faced with the choice of either reading a contemporary book or a book from the late 17th century, I would summarily select the latter. It…

Across the variety of age groups that were interviewed in order to gather data, there were a few similarities that arose. The first similarity was the use of situational humor by almost all of the informants. This consisted of poking fun at everyday life, telling stories that were found humorous, or mentioning things that were may have been out of character and were found to be funny. The use of situational humor is believed to function like other types of humor in that it is conversation filler…

There are no elements of writing that can compare to the brutal twists of irony. It is like a torture device used on the characters of a story for our entertainment. In reality, we have no control over the ironic torments life hands to us, and that is why it is so prevalent in fiction. Not only can we control something so elusive, but we can use it strategically to create tales that shock and captivate an audience. This strategic use of irony in story telling can be seen in Flannery O’Conner’s…
