No Wonder They Call Me A Bitch Analysis

Good nutrition is a significant part of a healthy lifestyle and is a principle being taught every day around the world. The dilemma of hunger is faced by many countries; according to the World Food Programme, “795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active lifestyle” (“Hunger”). In Johnathan Safran Foer’s article, “Let Them Eat Dog,” published in the Wall Street Journal, he argues the ridiculous nature of the American cultural taboo of restricting society from the consumption of dogs for food. Foer begins the article first by talking about the reluctances of the consumption of dogs regardless of it being legal in the majority of states within the United States (Foer 689). He then discusses the positive effects of the removal of the taboo of the consumption of dogs such as the solution for hunger in the world and the depletion of natural resources. He effectively convinces his audience of this ridiculousness by allowing the audience to form their own opinions based upon logic rather than emotions. Foer accomplishes this notion by using logical, pathetical, and ethical appeals to allow his audience to make educated opinions about the arguments presented and why they outweigh others.

Laughter has the power to unite people, as Bakhtin writes, “Laughter liberates not only from external censorship but first of all from the great interior censor” (Bakhtin 94). Laughter acts as a powerful force that alleviates pain by destroying repression and turning fear into grotesque ridiculousness while also uniting people to see the positives in negative situations. Moreover, it applies to social and political issues as a satire of political figures, which acts as a weapon against the government. For example, many people use satire to alleviate the fear and anger that Donald Trump is the current US President by ridiculing and criticizing his ideas and mindset. Thus, laughter liberate us by freeing us from

In this research essay, it will be about how the research on dementia has helped me understand the short story "Babysitting Helen". Have you ever with Alzheimer's, and wonder what It is? The research on dementia helped me to broaden my understanding of the short story "Babysitting Helen". It taught me that Helen's odd behavior, her memory loss, and the stress on caregivers is a normal part of living with dementia. In the short story "Babysitting Helen" Helen was laughing at things that aren't funny at all and was so amazed by the rabbit in the commercial with the drums. While Helen and Trish were watching Tv, Helen would be laughing bits on parts of the show when nothing funny is happening at all. Also when the advertisements and commercials came on Helen would say "Would you just look at that!

Humor is used by Ken Kesey very prominently especially when the patients do not seem to have the ability to laugh at anything nor find anything funny. The patients live a very dull life in which they repeat their monotonous cycle of life in the ward. They no longer have known what it is like in the norm because of the Big Nurse wears them down with the oppressive nature of the Combine. For example, on their fishing excursion McMurphy “knows [they] have to laugh at the things that hurt... to keep the world from running plumb crazy… he’ll let the humor blot out the pain” (Kesey 250). Accepting the absurdity and adopting a sense of humor is important to get through the negative and spread laughter and joy rather than accept the dull fate of ordinary life. McMurphy acts as a savior who brings happiness and vibrant life to the patients by exposing them to laughter and humor. McMurphy gives confidence to the

What would it take for someone to eat a rack of perfectly smoked baby back ribs covered with an amazing barbeque sauce? Consequently, what would it take for someone to eat a medium rare rib eye steak topped with a stunning red wine sauce? For the majority, there will be no hesitation or even a second thought to devour either dish. Conversely, what would it take for someone to eat dog? In the reading "Let Them Eat Dog", Jonathan Safran Foer, the author of two bestselling, award-winning novels argues, "Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity". Ultimately, Foer thinks that from an economic standpoint, its time to admit that dog is a sustainable food source for the human race, through several strategies such as quotes, statistics, cultural differences, humour, imagery, and credibility.

Margaret Atwood "Bread" (1983) is the Prosecution intends to shame those who are suffering and helps the tragedy through their indifference. Her argument is secretly and emotionally .Her language is initially sly and goes down smooth, but later renders her unaware reader intoxicated with empathy. The essay utilizes artful literary techniques to accuse her reader of inhumanity, of caring too little about other human beings. She presents her logic slowly and strategically, leading her readers—comfortable and unaware—to self-incrimination: from admitting to seemingly harmless practices of everyday life to being shamed by their complicity in the world’s suffering. Atwood’s accusation addresses the heart of contemporary global conflict, illustrating

While Zoe leaves her ultrasound appointment, she recalls a joke that she finds hilarious. The joke is about a man who goes to the doctor and is told he has six weeks to live. Horrified, the man tell the doctor he wants a second opinion. The doctor then states, “You’re ugly, too.” (372) A possible reason that Zoe finds this joke so amusing is that she herself is considered almost pretty. (365) She might see herself as the man in the story, who when asking for a second opinion gets told that he is ugly instead of getting any actual advice. Perhaps since she is not beautiful, every time she asks for advice she is dismissed. Zoe also likes jokes that are predictable and funny. (376) This could be because one can guess the outcome, whereas in life one cannot. She cannot predict the outcome of her ultrasound and instead must wait for results, which she puts off for even longer. Life is not the same as a simple joke. It does not always have a beginning, middle, and an ending that makes everyone laugh. Sometimes life just has a beginning and an end. Sometimes the end is tragic and awful. I think that Zoe is aware of this, and this is one of the reasons that she loves jokes so much. They are predictable and safe, much like her life turned out to be. Jokes are sometimes disappointing, which is how Zoe feels about her current

Laughter proves a vital role in helping the patients deal with their problems. Not only does

One of the most valuable aspects of personality is humor – we value one’s sense of humor and make friends often based on finding certain things funny. But how and why do we consider things to be funny at all? Human beings have strived to uncover fundamental truths about human nature for centuries – even millennia – but humor itself is still yet to be pinpointed. Henri Bergson is only one of many who has attempted this feat, and his essay Laughter: an essay on the meaning of the comic from 1911 breaks down comedy into what he believes to be its essential forms and origins. While Bergson makes many valid points, Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times that was brought to screens only twenty years later seems to contradict many of Bergson’s theories, while Bergson seems to contradict even himself over the course of his essay.

Because they have been desensitized to human suffering, the citizens of the World State find it funny—even entertaining.

Have you ever wondered why dogs eat poop? Even though it seems pretty disgusting, and might make you feel sick to your stomach, it is actually a common habit of many dogs. About 16% of dogs eat poop (Hart 1). Coprophagia, the term for poop eating, is very common in dogs and can be caused by medical,  behavioral, and instinctual reasons.

Many question if humor should be used when discussing serious topics such as rape, The Holocaust, and offensive language. By taking away the seriousness out of these topics through humor, allows readers to take their focus away from the negativity to

Another positive for freedom of speech for comedians is that the jokes made can lighten the mood of the subject. A comedians function in society is to challenge authority, and talk about subjects that may be unacceptable (Hartsell). Comedians are expected to go too far, but when they do, they are disapproved for it. Although, the audiences may only laugh at a joke because of how awkward it is going to be if no one did. “People like to mask their feelings due to not wanting others to really know how they feel—so people may laugh in times of nervousness because they are trying to balance their anxious feelings” (Kaminski). The uncalled for joke may trigger feelings of anxiousness and nervousness. Simultaneously, stand up comedy takes dark subjects and makes light of them. “In 2014, Louis CK remarked on NPR that comedy is intended to ‘go to a scary place and laugh’, to defuse and demystify that fear. It is part of the darkness, uncertainty, and ineffability of this ‘scariness]’ that allows comics to connect with a deeper, human truth” (Henry). By doing this, it makes the subject manageable. Making the subject manageable lets the comedians restrict what they say about it, which will affect the response of the audience. In support of freedom of speech, comedians boost the mood of the subject from a dark place to a wittier
