Life is Funny by E.R Frank 1. There were parts of the book that made me laugh, sad, and have much sympathy for the characters. One encounter is when PPPPPP parents were fighting and PPPPPP dad would beat on his mother. She didn’t any one to know that her husband was beating her. PPPPPP is always around when she is getting beaten by his dad. He tells his dad to stop, but he doesn’t listen until PPPPP calls the police one day to get rid of his dad. Another incident is when QQQQQ is raped by her dad as a little girl. On weekends she would go over her dads and she would come home crying and sick, because of what he did to her. Her mother never really listened to her,…show more content… The book puts you in the position to wonder if it were you what would have done in that situation. Most don’t have a choice. For example GGGGGG has to follow her religion and she can’t talk to anyone outside of the family. What if you were her, and your problem was with another family member and you wanted to get help, but don’t want to shame your family at the same time? Things like this happen each and everyday and some people just put up with it, and don’t say a word.
5. The author was saying many things about life throughout this entire book. It was a heartfelt book that I think everyone should read. After reading this book you will have a different way of thinking about life. You shouldn’t be afraid to speak up and get help if you need it no matter what anyone says. Being a prisoner to life isn’t the way to live; it can be so much more enjoyable with freedom. Talk to someone about your situations if they are willing to listen, because holding things back won’t make it any better. You can take control over your life and choose the way you want to live it. Life is an amazing and beautiful gift, which shouldn’t be wasted living in fear and hiding behind closed doors.
6. I know now that not everyone is living a happy life and that it isn’t that easy just to do that either. It takes time and a lot of courage to do so. I now know that not everyone is striving to be perfect or doing their
to create a very funny barber scene. As the customer is the chair, Chaplin caresses his face with shaving cream as he was the conducter of the orchestra with long hand movements. As if he were playing an instrument Chaplin sharpens his utencils while looking at the camera with a smug look on his face which is funny because the customer is unaware of this and the audience know what he is doing is ridiculous but the ustomer looks angry and confused. Imitation is also a very funny element used by Chaplin…
It’s sort of funny if I think about it. I crush over people I have no chance with and when I try to befriend them, I’m just another person to them. Not another friend, another person. It would be nice if people knew what they meant to me, too bad they wouldn’t care. I should just give up on certain people. I have my best friends, I have the people I see and “talk to”(as in “Hi” “Bye”), then there are those who are around me but I don’t know why. I should focus on my actual friends, not the people…
write and what it should be about. It is so frustrating. Like, what does Linguistics have to do with anything in my personal life? Well I’m not phrasing the question correctly. What I meant to say was, what can I share about the personal involvement of linguistics in my life that would be interesting? Now that I really think about it; there is one thing that I find kind of funny. You see, my dad plays his tone of voice and accent towards a person’s nationality. For example, when he is having a conversation…
Han Nguyen Music 511 Dec 12, 2012 Music Theatre Review I chose to watch and review Funny Girl musical, book by Isobel Lennart, and music by June Styne and lyrics by Bob Merrill. Its original title was My Man. Ray Stark, who was Brice’s son-in-law via his marriage to her daughter Frances, produced the musical. It has screen adaption in 1968 by director William Wyler. The “Funny Girl” showed the career of stage comedienne Fanny Brice – which made Barbra Streisand the 1968 Oscar for Best Actress…
be cruel or sometimes funny depending on whom it is done to, what had happened or what it is, and what the people that had the harm done to, their reactions. Physical harm is usually funny only because of the stupidity of the people who do it. In the “Miller’s Tale” Nicholas puts his butt out for Absalom to kiss, even after they had already done it to him once before. Absalom knew this was going to happen again so he went to the local smith to borrow a brander. This is funny because Absalom is getting…
knows he is in heaven. This moment however also has an element of comedy because he proves that Olivia is the fool not him, it upstages the social order as obviously Olivia is far above him on the social ranking of the play, so this would have been funny to the Shakespearean audience. He does this also with Sir Aguecheek as he is clearly shown as being quite dim throughout the play which is comedy on its own for example when Shakespeare uses made up nonsense words in Sir Aguecheek’s dialogue “Pigrogromitus…
(mental picture, so funny) It is so funny how bad fortune is automatically related to witchcraft, seems barbarous and the opposite of the Enlightenment. How is beating a cat half to death funny, they are helpless animals. The two apprentices were treated so poorly and all the while they were doing all the work, letting their owner reap the benefits Could this signify the old regime while the peasants did all of the work the middle and upper class nobles would live a lavish life free from taxes…

incorporates emotionally true teen life, with his funny-but-serious dialogue, and character development that occurs throughout the film. The Breakfast Club is a group of five students thrown together to endure a nine hour Saturday detention. Although many 80’s films were to made target teenage angst, The Breakfast Club has far more diverse characters that connect with each other on a deeper level. First off, Hughes acknowledges real issues that occur in teenage life. He sets the students as traditional…
The Sign lyrics Shock! I gotta new life You would hardly recognize me I'm so glad How could a person like me care for you Why do I bother When you're not the one for me Oooo, is enough, enough I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign Life is demanding without understanding I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes I saw the sign No one's gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong But where do you belong Under the pale moon For so many years I've wondered…
