Tina Fey's Influenced My Life
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. I have been told that my sense of humor and personality resembles hers, and that is the greatest compliment I have ever received. For a good period of time, I have admired Tina Fey and that admiration has been a large influence in my life. Tina Fey, despite her multiple awards and recognitions, has not always been famous

    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.
