Good (Evening, morning), etc., I’m Christopher Power, and I’ll be talking about critically acclaimed and personal favorite Television Show: Rick and Morty. With my interest in the show and the new season airing this year I thought an analysis of the philosophy of Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty chronicle the misadventures of the misanthropic mad scientist Rick Sanchez accompanied by his fretful and naive grandson Morty Smith. The duo split their time between interdimensional adventures across the universe and domestic family life. Rick and Morty follow the fundamental traditions of sci-fi horror, often paying homage to The Ghostbusters, filmmaker David Cronenberg, Nosferatu, and Freddy Kreuger. Although the exhibition pays homage to a vast spectrum of horror and sci-fi, it has a characteristic tendency for a traditional sci-fi sub-genre - cosmic horror. Developed by literary horror enthusiast H.P. Lovecraft, the cosmic horror genre accentuates the horror of what is outside our grasp to comprehend. Similarly to Lovecraft, Rick and Morty utilize cosmos the cosmos as a means to probe into philosophical questions by conceptualizing what hides in the depths of space. …show more content…
The culminated feeling of freight, dread, and disgust that we see as whatever lurks in the opaqueness of space suddenly collides with our reality. Rick’s portal gun continually confronts us with this unknown – as he jumps head first into other realities, the results are often horrifying, hysterical and commonly
I felt like I had temporarily left the practice room and traveled to another realm. I can never remember what happens after I cross over, and the only real glimpse I get of that world is at the threshold. As I close my eyes and let the groove I am playing possess me, I swear that I can hear voices. No, not voices -- music. Gliding across Girl from Ipanema, the airy sound of Stan Getz tickles my ears.
Stephanie McCurry convincingly argues that white females and enslaved Africans were able to form the allied States of America throughout the Civil War era. For McCurry, southern progressive set out to make “a proslavery antidemocratic state, dedicated to the proposition that all men were not created equal” (1). The author’s main point is to determine how white ladies and enslaved African-American ladies and gentleman during the Civil War strained the allied the government, to identify them as government agents. McCurry disagrees that these powerless groups worked out agency during the Civil War because of the general problems brought on by the war
The way I think this quote relates to Long Long After School is that Wes,is almost like inspired by Miss Tretheway’s kindness towards him. The section that states, “the things we value” I believe that in the kind doing of Miss Tretheway’s actions, she really touched his life. Although in the text it never stated that he remained kind we can make an inference; since Wes visited her grave, this shows that she had some sort of impact in his life. “We set our goals and make our decisions” I suppose that throughout the years Wes established his goals and decisions on things that are good. So ”the things we value are the things which we set our goals and make our decisions” means, in relation to the text, is that Wes really valued Miss Tretheway
According to 48 Liberal Lies about American History, Larry Schweikart argues that the founding fathers of the United States truly did want religion to be incorporated into government. James Madison, one of America 's founding fathers, first considered the relationship between religion and government when he saw a group of Baptists in a local jail. He determined that it was necessary for all citizens to have an equal opportunity to practice their own religion, whether their beliefs align with the government or not. Madison eventually paired with Thomas Jefferson, and together their support for religious freedom changed legislation.
Being involved in criminal activity is not unusual, for Doc 's counterpart, Rick. He is readily available to break any laws in the name of science, to flee out of a dangerous situation or just simply on a whim. At the end of the second season final episode, Rick turns himself into the Galactic Federation, and it is shown his extensive criminal record of crimes. Rick and Morty 's personality traits are over emphasized, a common trope among parodies. Rick and Morty have deviated from Back to The Future with the absence of time travel, in lieu, the sci-fi adventures take place across dimensions and planets, not
Hi, Wicliffe As always your writing is succinct and a pleasure to read. I think I used the words brevity and clarity to describe your previous writing assignments and they still apply. Your observation about how insulated America can be is one I have also noted. Most of us learn about cultures through the filter of movies, books, films etc.
Their suction cups were on the ground, and their shafts, which were extremely flexible, usually pointed to the sky. At the top of each shaft was a little hand with a green eye in its palm. The creatures were friendly, and they could see in four dimensions” (Vonnegut 26). The plot is meant to be difficult to understand, and, in conjunction with constant time jumps, it is difficult to follow the plot as well. This is a hyperbolic example of PTSD, as no one suffering from PTSD actually travels to the past, but the onslaught of confusion Vonnegut’s protagonist Billy Pilgrim experiences is meant to highlight the extremities of Vonnegut’s struggles with PTSD.

The reason that Rick went to Casablanca was because he was running from his past. There are many reasons such as the war, a Jilted lover or managing a bar in the middle of nowhere. Rick is seeking refuge and just wants a life without the past haunting him. He does not want to try to look forward into the future.

Picture the life of today: full of suburbia, technological advances, and an abundance of leisure. Now imagine complete economic downfall. All of the amenities wiped away, family members are losing jobs and savings are no longer enough to afford the essentials. This ghastly time of vast recession and despair is known as the Great Depression, and rest assured, it is properly named. Before the downfall in 1929, the public of the United States was whirled in a roaring atmosphere of advancement and jubilation where the attitude of conserving money was a faint whisper in the blaring music.
In Terrance Hayes’s poem “Mr. T-,” the speaker presents the actor Laurence Tureaud, also known as Mr. T, as a sellout and an unfavorable role model for the African American youth for constantly playing negative, stereotypical roles for a black man in order to achieve success in Hollywood. The speaker also characterizes Mr. T as enormous and simple-minded with a demeanor similar to an animal’s to further his mockery of Mr. T’s career. The speaker begins his commentary on the actor’s career by suggesting that The A-Team, the show Mr. T stars in, is racist by mentioning how he is “Sometimes drugged / & duffled (by white men) in a cockpit,” which seems to draw illusions to white men capturing and transporting slaves to new territories during the time of the slave trade (4-5).
The novel Schooled by Gordon Korman is a fantastically fabulous story. The main character is named Capricorn Anderson or Cap for short. He is a flower child,or hippie, and to his luck,Cap gets dropped in the real world at a real school for the first time because his grandmother, Rain,broke her hip. This caused Cap to drive her to the hospital where they said that Cap couldn’t go back to Garland,( The alternative farm commune that Rain has owned since the 60’s to keep the ways of the hippies alive for all this time.)Cap is very different from the other students at C Average because he practices tai chi, a kind martial arts,hadn’t heard of most modern technologies,or wedgies,and is filled with hippie wisdom,causing him to be like an alien compared to the other students. Fortunately, like anyone in a new area,he adapts and changes even in his two month stay.
“The Little Rascals” film is a comedy that was released on August 5th ,1994 by Universal Pictures and produced by Amblin Entertainment. The Little Rascals is a more modified version of the “Our Gang” short film that was written by Hal Roach. It consisted of a number of well known actors such as: Raven-Symone, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Whoopi Goldberg. Although the movies can be seen as a comedy for children and adults, it also has some subliminal messages. Being a young woman in America it is quite hard for me to accept the depiction of the women’s role that is being used throughout the film.
