Censorshit..haha.

Censorship? No thanks. Did they censor Fifty Shades of Gray? No. Why censor The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?? There's my argument. 

Think about it, the book was written in the 1800's. When slavery was happening, and people said "nigger" all the time.I think most, if not ALL high school students know what it means, and I agree that it is sometimes hurtful to say directly to and African-American person. But, AGAIN, this book was written over 120 years ago. It's stupid to go change one of the most well known pieces of American literature.

Another argument is that in the article, they say that it might be the first time someone has learned of slavery, and they don't want to use the n-word to present that. If you're in high school, you should know what slavery is. I started learning about it in second grade..... That's seven years ago. I do think it is appropriate for high school student to read this novel WITHOUT it being censored. But, that's my opinion, many other people probably disagree with me 100%. Good for you.... :)

I'm on a Bus!

So, in my English class, we're supposed to write a satirical song about something that bugs us.... soooo... I'm going to write a parody of "I'm on a Boat" by The Lonely Island. It's about being on a bus. Something that bugs me: Illinois. (We're going to Cincinnati...Jessie and I wrote it.)

I'm on a Bus

(Cincinnati!) Oh, dang! Get your pillows ready!
We're about to drive off! (Cincinnati, oh yeah!)

Everybody on the bus sit yourselves down! (Cincinnati yeah!)

But stay on your motherlovin' toes!

We runnin this, leggo!

I'm on a bus!

I'm on a bus!

Everybody look at me 'cause I'm riding on a bus!

I'm on a bus!

I'm on a bus!

Take a long hard look at the big charter bus!

Straight drivin on a bus lookin at all the trees

Bustin 55 mph

Eff cars I'm on a bus a charter bus!

Shrek!

Shrek!

Shrek is a spoof (parody) of almost all of the Disney princess movies. In all of them, the savior is handsome. In Shrek, well, Shrek isn't too handsome... Which the filmmakers did to show that your true love doesn't have to be tall dark and handsome! He can be green fat and ogre-y.

When Princess Fiona defeats Robin Hood and his merry men, this is reversal. But then again, she IS an ogre, as well.

An example of exaggeration is when Shrek and Fiona blow up LIVE animals into balloons.....that isn't possible. Okay.

An example of incongruity is that wherever  they traveled, there was a house for Fiona to sleep in. In the middle of a field? Ok, let's put a house here!...no.

I think parody was the most used satire in this movie because the whole movie is a parody.

I don't think the filmmakers ever made through the satire. They used sarcasm through the entire movie, as well as all of the types of satire.

Until Next Time,

Sara(:<3
