TERMS

SATIRE:

I chose this for satire because it used comical relief in order to change the way we are with financing and managing debt. In America, we've spent trillions of dollars that we don't have and in the meantime, we just pass on the debt to the next person. It's funny because we all know it's true too.







FARCE:

I chose this for farce because they're mocking the book Twilight. Also, being a vampire is very improbable. Not to mention, it is both improbable and dramatic because you don't just run up to a stranger and suggest that you two fall in love.

ANECDOTE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3G3fILPQAU

I chose The Notebook as an example for anecdote. It's a story of two young people that engage in a Summer romance, but realize that thier love is real and neither of them wanted it to end by the time Fall came around. The narator is Noah as an old man, and he's telling it to Allie as an old woman. Noah and Allie were the young ones in love, but Allie has Alzheimer's so she doesn't remember. I thought since it was two stories in one, it was a good piece of work to represent an anecdote.

PARODY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OG8faNTcwo

I chose the parody of Britney Spears' song "3" called "Speidi-free" as my example of a parody. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag from MTV's reality show The Hills got married and instantly it was on every television channel. YouTuber VenetianPrincess made a parody of that, even though it is a serious matter.
