    The Wonder Years Satire

    Many shows struggle to capture the feeling of nostalgia and wonder that the The Wonder Years expertly tackled throughout nearly its entire run. The show follows it’s main character Kevin Arnold and to a lesser extent his friends Winnie and Paul as they go through Junior High and High School. The show starts in the year 1968 where the pilot introduces the audience to the Arnold family, a 1960s Nuclear family reminiscent of familiar sitcom families like the Cleavers (of Leave it to Beaver fame.) Like those shows, The Wonder Years focuses on its youngest cast members but unlike those shows, The Wonder Years…

    Personal Narrative: Surviving Lunch

    My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, my stuffy nose runs. I grasp the cold metal handle of the school door, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustomed to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated area backstage. We struggle through multiple doors and long curtains until we reach our destination. The first aid kit mends our minor cuts and bruises created in the process. Gathering our senses, we collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to the classroom assigned to us. The first performance is in an hour and a half,…

    Out Of My Mind And R. J. Palacio's Wonder Book Analysis

    Even though it seems like Sharon Draper’s Out of My Mind and R.J. Palacio’s Wonder are extremely different, if you look beneath the surface, you see that the novel’s themes are very similar. This is despite the fact that the main characters have different afflictions, they’re treated very differently, and they aren’t even the same gender. Despite all of that, they both share the theme of not judging a book by its cover. Out of My Mind also has an extra theme, which is that you can do great things, despite your disability.…
