To me this commercial is very successful in persuading its audience to vote for him as a nominee for Alabama’s agriculture commission, because he’s been a farmer, a business man, and a marine during the Vietnam War. Secondly, he is responsible and accountable for the state’s wealth, which is five billion dollars, and furthermore, if the citizens of Alabama don’t vote for him, they may be at risk for losing their farms.…
Peter then has to go to jail, translated orally as ‘prison’. The parody of the joke about his shower experience transfers well to French, as the ‘do not drop your soap in the prison shower’ gag is known in both cultures. Back home, Stewie offers his mom some grenades, quoting Forrest Gump’s ‘Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get!’. Unfortunately, the French adaptors did not take the exact quote from the movie: instead of saying ‘on ne sait jamais sur quoi on va tomber’, the baby says ‘on ne sait jamais quelle crotte on va avoir’. However, the new pun and the insistence on Stewie’s way of speaking do play a crucial part in Stewie’s portraying and the quote is still distinguishable. At the courthouse, translated…
If it wasn’t for the fact, that I knew this piece was meant to be a satire and to mock, and make fun of a pro-slavery speech, I would have been very offended by it. While reading this, this part stood out too me, “If we cease our Cruises against the Christians, how shall we be furnished with the Commodities their Countries produce, and which are so necessary for us? If we forbear to make Slaves of their People, who in this hot Climate are to cultivate our Lands? Who are to perform the common Labours of our City, and in our Families? Must we not then be our own Slaves? It really goes to show how lazy slave owners were and how conceded they were. It is sad that they really felt that they were that much better than another human being just because…

He exaggerates the advice he is about to give the students. He lets you believe that he is going to offer you serious advice, but then he gives a humorous one instead.…
This isn’t a chapter about the weather; it’s about our lives. When your personal storm strikes, will you cry out in fear or live by faith? He's walking on the water towards you. The thing you think is about to destroy you, He's using for a sidewalk to save you!…
With the closing of the “post-racial” America of the Obama years and the inauguration of the Trump presidency the untreated wounds of American society have attained new levels of visibility. The “dog-whistle” racism which forms the base of the New Jim Crow is rapidly crumbling, exposing a virulent white supremacy no longer able to legitimize itself behind the fiction of racial “colorblindness.” In such periods of social unrest the power of racial representation is critical. Beyond providing a snapshot of the prevailing attitudes and morality of the artistic culture, in their most subversive form such representations challenge dominant sectors of society to interrogate the myths they have constructed to oppress despised populations.…
Alcohol - The greatest gift in life. The only reason the world spins. Did you know alcohol can lead to the amazing world of addiction? Yeah, that’s something everyone should get into. If you’re one of the many who decides to try it out, you can become an alcoholic very quickly. Once you’re an alcoholic, your world will soon fall in place. Every day of your life, you will have all the time in the world to just sit around, drink, and do anything you want , since you’re probably out of a job by now. Since you don’t have a job, alcoholism can lead to money problems, so go for the cheap beer and find friends with money so they can buy you all the beer you want.…
I honestly don’t think illegal immigrants are hurting the U.S. economy, I think they’re actually helping it out. Majority of the 12 million illegal immigrants are willing to work in low paying and harsh environment jobs, that many US citizens wouldn’t even think about doing. Americans benefit in so many ways by having illegal immigrants doing their cheap labor jobs. Everyone says that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans, but those same people also want to get raise minimum wage to $15.00+/hr. Will those people want to work in those cheap labor jobs? I don’t think so. Everyone complains about illegal immigrants stealing jobs, but isn’t it embarrassing that an illegal immigrant is “stealing” your job. That illegal immigrant…
There are hundreds of homeless people out on the streets of the large cities in this great nation. With low unemployment rate and new jobs being created every day, people are starting to ask why there are still homeless people in the alleys and on the sidewalks of this country. This seems to be a haunting problem even though it would be so incredibly easy for homeless people to get a job. The general requirements for applying for and keeping a job are to have nice clothes to make a decent impression, a home address and some way to be reached in tight situations. That is it!…
If you are depressed, and no medicines are working for you, alcohol just might be the way out. If you need something to do, getting drunk just might be the solution. Bored? I heard being drunk makes everything just a little more flashy. How about a challenge? The way alcohol really blurs your vision, when driving can really spice up your driving life. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try, and try again. After all, practice makes perfect! Recently, more and more drivers have discovered the joys of drunk driving. However, research indicates that consumption of alcohol while driving can lead to victimization of these innocent drivers. Sober drivers who can think clearly and make logical decisions are the leading cause of death for America’s drunk drivers. Thus, sober driving should be made illegal and drunk driving mandatory.…
The commercial begins in the retirement home with the nurse walking into the room to check on the old man making sure that he is going to sleep. The old man acts like he’s going to sleep, but then crawls out of bed.He sneaks out and jumps into a car where his friends are waiting for him .When he gets into the car the old people go party. They go to a teen club to dance and hook up with people, they swim in some random guys pool. One guy even lights a firework in someone's yard! My favorite part is when one of the old man puts his chest up a window showing his nipple to a couple eating in a diner. As they end it off with a late night snack at taco bell promoting their late night hours.…
“Bojack Horseman” has been getting a lot of praises for its satirical theme and invaluable humor. As the show’s last installment recently concluded in July, fans are now waiting for the coming of “Bojack Horseman” Season 4.…
Today, you could attest to saying that times have been rough here in America. With an increase in gas and food prices, due to two major hurricanes (Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas and Hurricane Irma in the State of Florida), the unemployment rate is still at a steady rise, and family’s homes are still being foreclosed. It is particular hard to say that homelessness is decreasing. Although the resulting numbers from the 2008 National Count of homelessness that is done every year in January, showed that there was a 12% decrease in homeless people on the streets and shelters from 2005-2007 and a 30% decrease in chronic homelessness in 2005. The moral controversy of this issue is to ask, what can we do to physical decrease the number of people on the streets and in…
