Many people would choose a family member or at least someone they personally know when it comes to talking about influential people in their life. For me, I have many people who have influenced me in my 17 years, but I want to talk about Tina Fey and how she has contributed to my development as a person. Many know Tina Fey as a comedian on Saturday Night Live; however, she is also a writer, actress, and very successful woman.

    Personal Narrative: Ms. Lena Parks

    "We admire people to the extent that we cannot explain what they do, and the word admire then means marvel at." This quote by B. F. Skinner shows exactly how I idolize certain people. I admire those who can make me realize who I am, who understand where I stand on and who is not afraid to say what is on their minds. One incredible individual, who I have met recently, changed the way I looked at the world. Ms. Lena Parks has a different air around her that I do not find most in others.

    I Love Lucille Ball Satire

    Satire dates back several millennia, and it remains a tremendously popular form both in print and broadcast media. One of the best-known examples of contemporary satire is the program “I Love Lucy,” which ran during the 1950s. Lucille Ball was one of the first comediennes of America, and one of the first females to be featured on television. Think about the way women were viewed during this time period; Lucille Ball challenged the stereotypes of her sex while being able to poke fun at such stereotypes within her program. Her program poked fun of stereotypes by portraying caricatures--deliberately distorted and exaggerated weaknesses or oddities of characters or objects. Caricatures are common in satire.

In the time when most Asian women did not dare to express themselves, to speak out what was on their mind, my grandmother did.
