Ansari's Ironic Analysis
Ansari investigates the sensitive subject of romance and presents his findings with a very light and humorous tone. He incorporates numerous personal comments and anecdotes associated with the topics, which reminds the reader that even him, being a famous celebrity, goes through the same struggles as everyone else, making the book especially more relatable. Examples of this tone are evident throughout the entirety of the text, for instance, he says, “Nowadays the Internet is my chubby friend. It is the whole world’s chubby friend.” (page 126).

    Casablanca - Dis-Illusioning

    The classic and award winning movie “Casablanca” has become favorite move to many generations all around the world. And although it shows some great acting and wonderful directing viewers have to be aware of the obvious as well as hidden messages of this classis. The movie glorifies Myth # 3, suggesting that your true soul mate should know what you are thinking or feeling, without you having to tell. There are other different myths in this movie but this one in particular was obvious to me throughout. The film was very well made for its time and it became a classic, regarded by critics as one of the best movies of all times, but it is not perfect. Its underlying messages suggest that people fall in love without knowing too much about each other and without communicating properly. Hiding your thoughts seems somehow interesting and creates suspense. But that can work only on the screen; real life can get very complicated and messy if we follow the same rules.…

    Situational Irony

    Throughout the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, General Zaroff, who hunts humans for pleasure, shows an important trait of pride from his behavior. General Zaroff expresses his pride when he had an absorbing conversation with Rainsford, who is also a big-game hunter like General Zaroff, about being a superior hunter. “Hunting had become too easy...there is no greater bore than perfection” (Connell 12). Zaroff reveals his narcissism by saying that he is too perfect to hunt animals. He claims that the animals are no challenge for him anymore by the fact that pursuing them started to bore him. General Zaroff shows to be prideful when he believes that no one can conquer his new game of hunting. “‘And if they win?’ The smile on the general’s face widened. ‘To date I have not lost,’ he said’” (Connell 16). General Zaroff demonstrates his vanity by indicating how he never lost to any human during his hunts against them. When his smile widened to Rainsford’s question, Zaroff demonstrates vanity by indicating how he is proud that he never lost to any human during his dangerous hunts against them. “I give them three hours’ start...If my quarry eludes me for three whole days, he wins the game” (Connell 16). Giving his quarries a head start, Zaroff is confident and prideful that he is going to triumph in defeating them. Zaroff also shows his pride and egotism by stating that his game of hunting is amusing, and how killing humans isn’t murder. “You will be amused, I know. I think I may say in all modesty, that I have done a rare thing. I have invented a new sensation” (Connell 10). By claiming this, Zaroff is arrogant enough to say that Rainsford will be amused with his new game right off the bat even though he did not even tell him yet. “I am strong. Why should I not use my gift? If I wish to hunt, why should I not?...a thoroughbred horse or hound is worth more than a score of them” (Connell 14). General Zaroff claims that killing humans isn’t murder…

    Irony in Jekyll and Hyde

    Verbal irony presents itself well in Stevenson's story (Stevenson 1-78). "I am quite sure of him," replied Jekyll, "I have grounds for certainty that I cannot share with anyone." (Stevenson 30). Jekyll is speaking about his good friend Mr. Hyde, whom no one knows is his divided "other" personality (Stevenson 30). Literally, Jekyll knows Hyde very well, but cannot disclose certain personal information about Hyde's life that he does not wish to share; yet the reader finds out later, that Jekyll is merely looking for a loophole in order to diverge from talking about his evil alter ego (Stevenson 30). Stevenson puts subtle details into the things his characters say and do, and one who is smart will catch the verbal ironies that sprout from these sayings (Stevenson 1-78).…

    Hook Ups Culture

    As we take a look back to the olden days, love and romance has truly evolved. From the cinderella fairytale of waiting for her prince charming, to our now strung out and modern princess who waits for no man. Such scenes of romance and friendship has been shown in our media as form of entertainment for the mass. The future of nostalgia is on the rise; and from the time that we were young, we learned how a good friend and lover should act; such the case that now with reality tv shows we tend to compare our friends to them. Certain shows like jersey shore had morphed are views on life, and has influenced the culture of ‘hook ups’: sex without commitments or any further relationship. As an academic, this study will focus more on how “media twists love to look like a flurry of overwhelming passion”, while influencing the action of break ups, because of unhappy ideals based on what they seen in society by media.…

    Dramatic Characters In Kisten Miller's Mobile By Kirsten Miller

    My term project’s concept is centred around two women who were once really close friends, but now only communicate through the phone. The emotional relevance towards the audience is that everyone has experienced a disconnection with a good friend. Therefore, the audience can connect on some level towards the characters in our term project. The target audience for this project is for teenagers and adults. The stylistic elements that we wish to explore is that of a dramatic nature. The reason why we chose to base this project in a dramatic style is due to the emotional reason of the entire short story that our term project is based and adapted from. Through this adaptation, I have thought about how I will define my role, develop the motivational force of my character and how I will act for the medium of stage. Our term project is adapted from the short story Mobile by Kirsten Miller (written in 2006) (Jacana.co.za, 2018).…
