    Junior confidently explains his hardships and experiences through words and images; however, it is through his drawings that he most explicitly states his conflicts and outlook on the world. At the beginning of the novel, Junior explains, “I draw because words are too unpredictable. I draw because words are too limited…But when you draw a picture, everybody can understand it” (5).

    Thoughtful Laughter In Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club

    Amy Tan uses thoughtful laughter in her novel, The Joy Luck Club, to make a point through laughter or humor. Thoughtful laughter is effective because it grabs the attention of the reader and expresses a point, whether the reader knows it or not. One scene that provokes thoughtful laughter is in the chapter “Best Quality” while the family picks crabs to eat. When there was only two crabs left, Jing-Mei Woo tries to choose the crab with the missing leg, so her mom would have the better crab. On page 227 during the meal, Jing-Mei Woo says “That's the way Chinese mothers show they love their children, not through hugs and kisses but the stern offering of steamed dumplings, duck gizzards, and crab.” The Chinese mothers in The Joy Luck Club show affection to their daughters differently through non-obvious manners, such as showing off their daughters or giving…

    The King Of Comedy Theme

    To be king for a day is the central theme in "The King of Comedy" by Martin Scorsese, a black comedy that features Robert De Niro as Rupert Pupkin, an eccentric wannabe stand-up comic hell bent on achieving stardom. Pupkin idolizes talk show host Jerry Langford (played by Jerry Lewis) the proclaimed "King of Late Night." Pupkin's goal in life is to replace Langford becoming "The King of Comedy" hence the title. He believes himself to be a great comedian telling Langford (Lewis) in an early scene "I wouldn't take up even one minute of your time if I wasn't absolutely convinced of my talent. I'm really good, Jerry, believe me, I'm dynamite." However, this is a fallacy; Pupkin is actually a 31 year old natural-born loser and…

    Maggie Nelson's 'Great To Watch'

    Advancements in technology have produced a world in which one is constantly looking at images or watching a video. Whether for enjoyment or to fill a void caused by boredom many people scroll through their phones aimlessly viewing a multitude of images. Maggie Nelson discusses these notions of spectating in her narrative titled “Great to Watch,” where she presents two different views of what “spectating” really means. She first views it as an action that provides a false sense of empowerment where one passively views through constant scrolling. Later she claims that active spectating gives one a mechanism to become aware of both themselves and the environment. Malcolm Gladwell presents his idea of the environment in his narrative titled “The…

    Review of Mark Twain’s “How to Tell A Story”- The American humorous story

    The first characteristic of how to tell a humorous story is in the teller’s demeanor when telling the story. They must remain serious, straight-faced, dull-witted, etc. as to not lead on to how funny the story may actually be. Twain explains the difference between telling a comic and humorous story with “The Wounded Soldier”. When told as a comic story the reader uses energetic voices to depict different characters and trivial name…
