Community‚ a seemingly nondescript comedy about six misfits muddling their way through community college‚ finding each other in a Spanish study group. On its surface‚ it borrows a lot from recent classics. Lead Joel McHale is another comic anti-hero‚ selfish‚ vain yet charming and unfailingly hot. Like The Simpsons‚ it’s chock full of details for ber fans to obsess over‚ replete with endless pop-culture references. Chevy Chase is the show’s only famous actor‚ and even that is a kind of meta joke

Postmodern literature has its many spokesmen. Many would agree that Kazuo Ishiguro is not the most typical representative of this somewhat anarchistic literary and social movement‚ but he is certainly one of its most subtle and valuable artists. He uses the principles of post modernistic writing in a very meaningful way‚ and only after a thorough analysis can one fully appreciate all carefully constructed and presented elements trough which he successfully delivers his story.

Examination of Postmodern Poetry Fanny Howe’s poem “When I was a child” contains several similarities to Dickinson’s work. Howe’s piece transcends Dickinson’s style in her compressed sentences and metaphysical narrative. The condensed form in which the poem is written is a style first seen in Dickinson’s writing.
