“And yet‚ by heaven‚ I think my love as rare…”‚ from William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130 (13). This is one of his most well-known sonnets and it also happens to be one of my favorite poems of all time.

is horrible‚ therefore Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should not be banned. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was and still is considered a satirical novel because of its use of caricature‚ broadside‚ irony‚ and social satire (maybe even a little of parody).

He uses broadside to show the racism in the south‚ There isn’t any book out there in the world that is known

may have not seen. The film did not only make fun of zombie movies‚ it also kept the elements that made any zombie films as scary and disgusting as it could be. Watching Shaun of the Dead‚ I didn’t see anything that could have ruined the film in the parody horror genre that it is. I think it kept every aspect with the focus of horror to scare the viewers‚ while making them laugh at the same time.

were the number of people disappearing in Argentina. After figuring out this the story makes a little more sense. The story itself has many extensions of conflicts. To me I thought the story was a multi-layered metaphor had irony and almost like a parody of what was happening in real life. The whole theme of the story is related to real life time and place‚ this story is like a twist or different way of interpreting what was happening in Argentina during 1965-1979‚ people were disappearing and people

I will be defending Professor Faden. Disney is trying to sue Faden by saying that he was copyrighting his work‚ and how it’s not fair use. I think that it is fair use because‚ he was using it for education purposes‚ non-commercial purposes‚ and parody. Also he was only using small portions of Walt Disney’s work.
