Longer & Uncut

having a disability and joins the special Olympics to attempt to beat the other handicapped people in order win $1,000. However his plan completely backfires and loses every event due to being overweight and the other children having months of training. This shows Cartman thinks of plans but never thinks of the consequences. An example of Cartman being carless, in the episode, Ginger Kids (Parker, Parker, 2005) Cartman delivers a hate speech towards red headed people or what he calls “Ginger”. This shows his carelessness because he gave a hate speech towards red headed people and shows that he will carelessly express his negative opinion towards others. An example of Cartman being rebellious, in the South Park movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (Parker, Parker, 1999), when he told off his teacher in front of the whole class by asking his teacher if he would like suck his balls after being asked if he wanted to go see the principal. Cartman was being rebellious to challenge his teacher’s authority and wanted to show his disrespect towards it. References Julian, J. (2009). Eric Cartman.

One of the main characters, Kyle is Jewish and his friend, Cartman, constantly makes fun of him for…

I am writing to you today out of extreme concern, to be honest, and with deep unease for the youth of this generation. With respect to your show, ‘South Park’ - I find that its impact has a completely toxic effect on not only children but on everyone. South Park episodes are viewed in the millions, and its humor and ideas are communicated worldwide. There is also no age limit to watch South Park episodes, which makes this cartoon even more dangerous. I have found that this show emphasizes on…

Chinua Achebe writes a fascinating novel, Things Fall Apart, in which he explores the struggle of a man, Okonkwo, and his conflict between the pride of his culture and the pride of his manhood. The novel was somewhat similar to what I had expected. From the obvious title, some type of community was going to fall apart but other than that, the other aspects of the novel such as Ikemefuma death, Okonkwo’s exile, and the white man’s church were completely unpredictable. One of the main things that…
