Emmy, Ferrell and I took the category “humor” to define and focus on. Humor is the quality of being entertained and amused. This show, Daria, did not display conventional forms of comedy. It used dry, satirical, and sarcastic humor. After watching the show, the definition of humor was altered for me because it allowed me to see different types of humor. This show is a more alternative form of comedy. Many of the jokes are outdated. It manages to get the point across in a humorous way, while still being relatable.
I have been stereotyped many times due to the color of my hair. I have dealt with the “dumb blonde” jokes since elementary school. Being short, blonde, and a cheerleader, I was the perfect candidate for the ridicule. Thinking the offensive and demeaning comments stopped with the students at school, I didn’t think too much about it. It wasn’t until I had these remarks thrown at me by two different teachers, one my 7th grade year and the other my 8th grade year. Granted my ADHD prohibited me from succeeding immensely in school, but that was no reason to discourage a girl who was trying her hardest simply due to her hair color.
When sending a professional email, it is important to speak in such a way that the reader knows that you see them as a superior. After giving the email a subject, you then starting the body with a proper introduction, one must type “Dear ….”, using their correct title as well. The paragraphs should be rich in detail, yet concise and to the point. This allows the recipient to understand the purpose of the email, yet it doesn’t draw everything out, making it difficult to follow. After including supporting details and intriguing information, it is time to the end with a polite conclusion and signature. Mention phrases like “Hope to hear from you soon” or “Thank you for your time”, even “Have a great day!” will suffice. Sign your name, including a number to reach your, as well as an alternative email.
The movie I have chosen is Frozen. Personally, I believe this movie is on its way to becoming a classic one day. I had hardly any negative feelings towards this movie until reading a few negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes that I truly began to see the errors that occurred throughout the film. A common disappointment shared amongst the critics was the fact that it was a “conservative Disney film”(Damien Straker, Impulse Gamer). This left many critics bored and unamused. Other critics considered it appealing to many ages and claim it “succeeds because of it’s great story and it's catchy musical numbers”(Matthew Toomey, ABC Radio Brisbane). I understand where both critics are coming from, considering it is both similar and different from other, more stereotypical Disney princess movies. Overall though, I would have to agree with the positive reviews considering it has a phenomenal soundtrack as well as an entertaining storyline.
