Weekend Update Analysis
The Weekend Update is a scene from Saturday Night Live that shows fake news and satirizes the news industry. I chose to use SNL because as a kid, my parents would let me stay up to watch it with them. Another reason I chose the clip because of my love for sports. The example I chose from Weekend Update, satirizes the sports industry, which I show a lot of Interest in and provided good humor and is a good example of parody and has a lot of exaggeration as well.

    Saturday Night Live Analysis

    The Weekend Update gave the audience a well-earned break from the excess amount of Trump we had seen for the night. The mock news show attacked both political parties by calling out Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, President Obama, and of course Donald Trump. The Update also welcomed a guest speaker, “Drunk Uncle” the self-proclaimed number one Trump fan. The character was spot on in his portrayal of Trump supporters: drunken, insane, and full of hatred.…

    Explain How Sports Have Impacted My Life

    Throughout high school, my life has been consumed by sports. Being a student athlete has made me become the person I am today. Ever since I was sixteen, I have also worked at a daycare in town, TASK. This has showed me how much little kids look up to student athletes. Working at TASK has also showed me how much these little kids want to grow up and be like us student athletes. Without sports and working at the daycare, I would not be the role model I am today. Since working at the daycare, I have realized I want to be the person little girls are talking about when they say, “I want to grow up and be just like her.” Being chosen team captain has made me into the leader I am. I have learned how to push my teammates…

    College Admissions Essay: My Life As A College Athlete

    Looking through the piles of pictures my mom has stored in the closet, I find one common object in every one of them: a ball. In every story I tell, I find myself talking about basketball or softball. When I ask my family or close friends to describe me in one word, athletic is a constant adjective used; most people would be more than happy to be described as such, especially in high school; I mean everyone knows me, right? So, is the name, Gracie, forever connected to how many home runs I hit or how many rebounds I grab? But is athleticism all I have to offer? For the longest time, I would have answered that question with a yes. However, now as I enter adulthood and move on to the next step in my life, I am faced with a big decision: Will I continue to be stuck in this continuous cycle of practice and games, or will I shock everyone and finally decide to close this chapter of my life? Regardless the choice, the decision will define my adulthood just as the decision to be an athlete…

    Mountain Biking Is My Favorite Sport.

    Sweat dripping into my eyes, blurring my vision. My legs feel weak, making it difficult to pedal. I pause and allow myself to take a deep breath before speeding down hill. The adrenaline rushing through my veins, and the thrilling thought of what is to come next demands my body to get ready and keep going. I speed down the hill narrowly missing a couple of big jagged stones sticking up through the trail and trees. The intensity and extremity of mountain biking make it undoubtedly my favorite sport. Furthermore, mountain biking is my favorite sport because it is great for the body and mind, it brings about a challenge, and it allows me to have a positive environmental impact.…
