My Favorite Cartoon ¡V The Simpsons

Watching a hilarious cartoon on television may seem like the most relaxed thing in the world. However, ¡§The Simpsons¡¨ is not only a stupid funny cartoon to keep us laughing for joy but also a clever TV program mixed up with irreverence and slightly twisted morality. I¡¦m not saying that how much influence this show can bring to our reality. But I think it¡¥s very well written. Also it constantly reflects and spoofs our society. The whole story takes place in a mythical town of Springfield in America. Just like an ordinary American family. Homer Simpson, 36 years old, is a safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and also a dimwitted father. His wife Marge, 34 years old, is a homemaker with a real high and weird hairdo. Homer dislike his boss as most people do and he¡¦s always interested in finding a way to get out of working. And Marge is the loving mother who cares for her three precious children and always looks out for them. She¡¦s also very proud of her husband, Homer, but somehow she¡¦s flirted briefly with a number of career ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist.
Their three little lovely children are Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Mostly, Bart is an underachiever and troublemaker. He did lots of childish tricks and never does well at school. But he¡¦s not really that bad like a juvenile delinquent. Once He spotted and named a deadly comet that nearly destroyed his town, and almost snagged the role of Fallout Boy in the Radioactive Man movie. And don¡¦t forget he got a role model for himself, Krusty the Clown, a smoker and a drinker¡K
As for Lisa, She is the studious schoolgirl. Even though she¡¦s only 8, she already reads at 14th grade level. And she is a music lover too, especially her saxophone. She always reminds Bart what he¡¦s done is wrong and this big brother really looks out for her.
Then, there is Maggie. Maggie has done a lot in her one year of life and never gets

    The traits of Maggie were apparently different from Dee in that she wasn 't handed life 's opportunities and when it came to Dee, "that, 'no ' is a word the world never learned to say to her" (73). This statement in the beginning of the story brings an understanding as to the feelings that Maggie has conjured up while living in the shadow of an older sister. Alice Walker molded one daughter from the other, taking the strengths and qualities of Dee and omitting them in Maggie. Although Maggie does have strengths of her own, she is a character that unfortunately has a simple life and has made complex problems for herself. Learning more about Maggie 's character could be drawn from learning about Dee 's character as well. Maggie seems to be the pessimist, although she is only reacting to her sisters dramatic and overbearing presence. This shows true symbolic meaning when Dee arrives at their home and wants to take all of the important…

    Opponents may assert that Lisa Simpson would not fit the role of a president because she comes from a family that is troubled and without purpose. Specially her father, Homer Simpson and Brother Bart, who have brought quite a trouble to her life. Although, their reckless actions have been a challenge they have not affected Lisa, she has learned how to handle the situations. Past all the troubles, Lisa differentiates from her family in many different ways, such as being mature, outgoing and observant.

    Psychology of Personality Bart Simpson is the oldest son of Homer and Marge Simpson on the Fox TV show The Simpsons. At only 10 years of age, Bart has already established himself in the community and in his family as a trouble-maker. He is the oldest child in his family with two younger sister, Maggie and Lisa. To Karen Horney, Bart's experiences with his parents would greatly influence his future personality. Bart's interactions with his father, Homer, provide a perfect situation for the analysis of a parents influence on personality development. Homer's relationship with Bart and the other children is very dysfunctional to say the least. His interactions with his son most often consist of a highly angered reaction to something that Bart has done at which point Homer lashes out, strangling Bart.

The anxiety that stems from these feelings effect one's interactions with other people; whether the are withdrawn, move toward, or move against others.…

    The Simpsons and Family are said to be the one in the same but the two shows attract two completely different audiences. The Simpsons is known to be more family oriented with not many crude jokes and hidden insults that only older generations would connect with. The Simpsons does not use as crudeness in their jokes as Family Guy is known to do. That is why The Simpsons is a show that is appropriate for the whole family to watch together. The only problem with the whole family watching it is that if there are younger kids than they most likely not understand the humor or the political or cultural jokes that are made throughout the episode. That is how Family Guy appeals to younger generations; they use jokes and make fun of political and cultural icons from a more recent time. Family Guy uses current problems in governments, cultures, or media in order to attract the people of young teenagers all the way to people in their 20’s.…
