Rocko's Modern Life

Plankton is up to no good. Plankton is trying to steal the secret formula for those mouthwatering Krabby patties, and his plan is working. He frames SpongeBob’s boss, Mr. Krabs, for the crime of stealing King Neptune’s crown. Mr. Krabs has been sentenced to death by King Neptune’s flaming staff, but Spongebob steps into action and offers to retrieve the crown and save Mr. Krabs’ life.…

What makes a good TV show is the characters having depth. One of the deadly sins is being lazy which is being a sloth. Patrick Star would represent sloth because he shows excessive laziness or the failure to act. He lies under a rock for the day and does not do anything. Squidward is illustrated in the TV show as wrath because he has anger and hatred towards his life and most of the time SpongeBob. Gary, SpongeBob’s pet snail, is portrayed as gluttony. SpongeBob over feeds him, but the one time…

Sometime in November last year, it was announced that Harvey Beaks – a Nicktoon centered around a mild-mannered young bird and his two mischievous friends – was being cancelled after just two seasons on the air, with the remaining episodes being moved from Nickelodeon to Nicktoons. The news came as a shock to most of us, including the show's creator, C.H. Greenblatt, who reportedly learned about the show's fate via an official Nickelodeon Twitter post. To make matters worse for the show's fans,…

Krabs and his success over the Krusty Krab whereas planktons own restaurant is a failure. As we get into the personality of Mr. Krabs we find that he is greedy and this obviously drives Plankton mad and plots ways to steal the recipe of the kabbypattie so that Mr. krabs is out of money for him to brag and boast about so stealing the recipe is his main goal in life, to pull down others success. We as humans find this relatable in our times where we would do something great but the next person has…

Children’s Television Show: Reflection Paper I decided to watch one episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog and one episode of Rocko’s Modern Life. Each episodes contains two different cartoons which are fifteen minutes each, totaling thirty minutes each episode of the cartoon.

The introduction was interesting…

countries in the modern world. With a GDP of nearly 53,000 USD (United States Census Bureau, 2013), the US outcompetes nearly every other nation. This profound success is backed by an extensive and rich history, spanning from the time of colonization to modern day. However, the history of the United States is not one that is filled with joyous and pleasant occasion. It is marked by streaks of mistreatment and exploitation, including slavery, racism, and the displacement of the Natives who lived…

Eliot once said, “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.” Eliot 's poem, “The Waste Land” (1922), embodies the essence of this quote; take from what is already there, and place his own updated interpretation for the modern audience to provide their own temporal relativist view on top of the already layered meaning of the original work quoted within Eliot 's poem. The historical…

Like any other countries, Germany has what they call traditional food, or maybe we can say their favorites or go to foods. Sauerkraut and Bratwurst with a type of beer called lager are the foods that most identify Germans. These traditional foods have been adapted among Germans for so many years and do have special meaning to the people in Germany. There are also what we call staple foods in Germany such as potatoes, noodles vegetables, pastries, pork, beef, lamb, chicken, and fish. But of…

the song ends, the speaker likely returns to the flourishing modern world, with the soul of the past as a distant tune in his head. Unlike Langston Hughes’ “The Weary Blues” where modernity is addressed later in the poem, Robert Frost’s “Directive” opens by establishing the burden of this new world by saying “back out of all this now is too much for us”(740). The speaker follows up by describing a place that no longer exists with any completion removed “by the loss of detail” (740). Houses,…
