    Homer's Argument Analysis

    • 1936 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Homer as talking parrot and unintentional Descartes What we are seeing in the example of Homer is his ability to retain ideas about what a work of art is with an inability to discern the difference between the idea of the work of art and the failed DIY BBQ pit project. Essentially, instead of creating works of art after the BBQ pit incident, Homer parrots the idea of art by recreating similar conditions to that of the BBQ pit, which by association in homer’s mind is no longer a DIY project but…

    To begin, McMahon argument that The Simpsons can “educate on what it teaches” (215) in this episode of The Simpsons “Lisa on Ice” occurs with stereotypes on the show. For, example when the school bullies asked Bart “Nice PJs, Simpson. Did your mommy buy 'em for ya?” (Scully, 1994) and Bart’s response was “Of course she did. Who else would have?” (Scully, 1994) This conforms to the stereotype that mothers do most of the shopping in the house. That consist of buying clothes, food etc. According…

    Mr Burns In The Simpsons

    • 625 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This episode is definitely the most favorite episode from The Simpsons that I’ve watched since it tackled a character that I absolutely fascinated about, Mr. Burns. At the beginning of the episode, we saw Mr. Burns’ character a lot as he were dreaming about his past where he left his life of poverty (and his beloved bear, BoBo) to go off and live the life of a luxury with a heartless millionaire. The first scene of him agrees to leave his own family without any hesitation and choose to live with…

    Design In regards to intertextuality, Teddy from my picturebook is the Humpty Dumpty used in the television show Playschool. This served two purposes: Humpty is known to be an incredibly unlucky character, creating doubt in the readers mind even at the beginning of the story that Teddy is the lucky one; and it also creates a connection to Australian children (and even adults) that watch Playschool. Salience and colour were used hand-in-hand in my picturebook through the colour red: it is one of…
