Witches And Fiction

This chapter was all about Tom's perfection for all the escape stories. He wanted to have rats, and snakes, and sorrowful etchings on a rock. And threatening letters to his own family. Tom requires perfection. All the stuff Tom is doing is to fulfill his fantasy of being in the middle of a fiction story. And Huck goes along with it because he's never had someone to follow, and now he just got one, and he follows Tom like a ducklings to their mother.

Trickery, And Superstition: Alike Or The Same?

This chapter is all about deception, trickery, and witches. Huck and Tom trick Aunt Sally, Jim's keeper, and just about everybody in the house, for them to have a little fun. Morality, deception and outright lies rule the pages of this chapter, and yet the boys keep a straight face and a look of complete innocence, creating an air of dramatic irony that makes the story funny. After finally excavating all the way to Jim's hut, we are waiting to see what other trickery the boys will use next...

The Great Escape

In this chapter we see the imagination of two boys growing wild, thinking on an incredible plan to save Jim from captivity. Huck obeys since, that's what he's always done. And of course, they go ahead and do some morally incorrect things to go with the plan they like. They brake the moral law, yet according to Tom they're not breaking the robbers law. Of course Huck grumbles about it a bit, but lets it go, like he always does. His morality hasn't changed, and it won't change much more for a while.

The King, And Duke, Of Fraudland

Chapters 29 and 30 have something in common with many other chapters we've read recently. The King, and the Duke are frauds, like in the rest of the chapters, yet this time they get caught in the act, and are almost lynched to death. With the omnipresent narrator, we get the dramatic irony part of the story, where we know the rapscallions are setting the town up. As well we get another version right on that same idea, that of situational irony. Since the frauds think they're setting the town up, yet they get fooled, and almost hanged because of their actions.

Corrections for life

One of the most common actions they do is slapping each other for no apparent reason. This is an excellent way to employ farce.

· Today as I woke up, I was feeling tired, and didn’t want to go to school. As I went to go pick up the paper by my front door, I looked up into the sky and saw the clouds. No sun out today I thought. This was going to be a sucky day. Even though all the 33 miners had been freed from the mine already, I still felt dreadful. As I was riding to school I slept. And when I woke up I was already in school. What a nightmare. The sun still hadn’t come out, so that pretty much decided my day for me. And as I’m sitting down in English class I stare out the window, and hope that it’s not going to rain.

Describe this picture

It looks like a team made up of old people just won something, and they’re extremely happy. they have a statue in their hands, and have medals around their necks. It looks like they’re engineers, or workers, since they have overalls on.

Slapstick, It's Hilarious

The Three Stooges is incredibly well acted, using stage fighting techniques to make it as real as possible. We as the audience feel it is an incredibly good act, as it looks like the three stooges are actually fighting, and not just faking. This could really help us in our plays since it would make our acting professional, and realistic.

The English, And Their Peculiar Humor

Since the beginning of Fawlty Towers, everything is a joke, normally it starts with the hotel sign with letters moved so as to say something completely different (e.g: Watery Fowls). Instead this one starts with Basil's wife in the hospital with an ingrown nail. Just the fact that it's an ingrown nail is funny, but it gets funnier as we get further in, watching Basil obey his wife, muttering insults under his breath. It all looks very spontaneous, coming out randomly, as any normal English couple would do. When Fawlty returns, and starts talking to the major, things start getting funnier and more interesting. For some reason, the major's lack of memory is altogether very funny, it also brings some kind of crude humor into the scene. And in the end, the moose apparently talking to the major is also funny. The part that Fawlty Towers incorporates what looks like anthropomorphism, and the fact that the major falls for it hook, line, and sinker is also quite funny. Hearing the moose with an accent adds to the spontaneousness and crudeness of the subject.

I think this part is anti-climactic because he's given a whole supporting speech, the movie's put into slow motion, and he jumps high with the punch coming straight at the other guy's face. And then, the guy dodges the punch, and strikes back, throwing him down to the ground again.

Our Farce In Short

Our farce starts in Canada, where a kid, that just broke up with his girlfriend, arrives at Vancouver intl. airport. His uncle picks him up, and they set course to a skiing village nearby. As they are driving, someone starts shooting at them, but since the car was armoured, nothing happened. The uncle tells the kid that he's in the drug trafficking business, and the kid thinks it's very cool. When they get to Whistler (the skiing village), the kid's father is dead, with a note by his body saying: "let this be a warning." The uncle tells him to ski this grief off, and that's what they do. As they're skiing down, a chopper comes overhead with a spy on board. The spy knocks out the uncle and takes the kid with her.

And that's as far as we've gone.

Mr. bean and his farces

Mr. Bean has always looked like an improvisation skit. He never fails to include buffoonery, in ridiculously improbable situations, for example playing around with his lifejacket inside the plane, when already received strict instructions to use only in an emergency. Mr. Bean always does crude shows, making people laugh with what is in the scene.

Vice City (Hyperbole in The Simpsons)

The Simpsons is a big hyperbole by itself, as it is a satire on American society. All we see are hyperboles of what Americans do wrong. In this case it's something of a vice city (grand theft auto; a video game), Americans can buy weapons really easily, and in some latino infested cities, there was a lot of violence with said weapons.

In this clip from The Simpsons we see Homer trying to buy a gun, because he's angry. And as he starts horsing around with it, the clerk offers him some accessories: silencer, loudener, and an 'rpg' to shoot down police helicopters. Just in this sentence there is Hyperbole, as one can see with the 'rpg'.
