Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: September 2007

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. The $30,000 Bequest. This story serves as a warning to how slippery a slope greed is. The couple began by only making small compromises of their morals and beliefs, but as time went on they continued to slide further and further into the depths of greed and eventually their own personal hell. Was he wronged by the family as a whole, many years ago and holds a grudge against those who were not even involved?

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: Big Boy from Me Talk Pretty One Day

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/11/big-boy-from-me-talk-pretty-one-day.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. Big Boy from Me Talk Pretty One Day. At the end, he concludes that the real pooper didn't care, so why should he? I think that people should care, just because it is a natural thing that everyone must do does not make it appropriate publicly, the act, the view or discussion of the topic. It doesn't stand alone, most matters of personal hygiene, grooming and bodily functions should all be kept private. Oh - and...

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: Final Paper Topic

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/12/final-paper-topic.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. I (quickly) tried to find an interview with Christopher Buckley after the movie was filmed, about Thank You for Smoking. The following is what I found and I thought the quote about good books=bad movies and bad books=Good movies was very fitting! CG: When you wrote “Thank You For Smoking,” did you see this as something that could become a film? CG: Were you satisfied with the film’s casting? In Case You're Int...

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: Mark Twain - Ramblin' Man

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/09/mark-twain-ramblin-man.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. Mark Twain - Ramblin' Man. A lot of people complain that Mark Twain is too dry, too boring or just simply rambles on and on. I think that's part of his style. Twain does not attempt to do an over-the-top dance (American Psycho, maybe? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Case You're Interested. Main Class Site : Dark Comedy and Satire.

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: Toward a Definition of - IRONY - Takes a Holiday

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/09/toward-definition-of-irony-takes.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. Toward a Definition of - IRONY - Takes a Holiday. I don't think that we are actually required to blog on the Irony handouts, but I figured better to blog unnecessarily and hey, why not get into the habit? With time, obviously, it became appropriate to poke fun at our nation's leadership, security measures, etc. Cynicism, humor and irony: just part of the healing process as far as I'm concerned. Toward a Defini...

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: Importance of Being Earnest

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/12/importance-of-being-earnest.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. Importance of Being Earnest. I thought this play was one that would have been especially good/more entertaining as a performance. The plays on words, Ernest/earnest, etc. would be much more humorous in speech than just being read. This is another example of a story full of absurdities that all tie up nicely in the end. This is one of the many stories we've read where we can see that the author had a very "old-...

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: How Can We Raise Awareness In Darfur Of How Much We're Doing For Them?

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-can-we-raise-awareness-in-darfur-of.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. How Can We Raise Awareness In Darfur Of How Much We're Doing For Them? I thought this was great Onion News Network Video Clip. Find it at:. Http:/ www.theonion.com/content/video/how can we raise awareness in. Then, not surprisingly, the entire team of newscasters is distracted by mention of the new batman movie. The worst part of watching this "spoof" news show debate is that at times, it was easy to forge...

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: The Day of the Locust

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/12/day-of-locust.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. The Day of the Locust. After seeing the terrible ending of the movie, it's hard to focus on the actual book. Somewhat off topic, but there was a scene on the SNL X-mas special that switched a real person to an inflatable doll and as they were beating this doll, I couldn't help but think of the scene in the movie where Homer stomps on Adore. It was just as absurd. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica: Pygmalion

http://wmupatriciaw.blogspot.com/2007/12/pygmalion.html

Bears - Beets - Battle Star Galactica. My blog for English 2070, Dark Comedy and Satire at WMU. What was kind of interesting as supplementary material to this reading was that we read it at the same time that my linguistics course was discussing phonetics, dialect/code switching, and the stigmatization of certain dialects - obviously tying in very closely to Higgin's project. Great job, Patricia. I noticed you were up really early writing these posts. Well, you did it. You get the full 35 poi...Sorry ano...
