Clean by Amy Reed

         Clean is a good book based around a group of teenagers who attend rehab for their drug problems. The only thing the group of five have is the hate for the rehabilitation center and their addiction to drugs. This book is a good insight towards rehab centers and how teens deal with their addiction. Amy did a great job giving each teen a memorable attribute and creating diversity among them. Each of them have distinctive backgrounds and if it were not for their addiction  they probably would not have met each other. Christopher is a fairly normal kid, he attends church and helps his obese mother who ends up addicted to crack.  Olivia is the neat freak of the group, she was taught that being perfect is everything. Her obsession turned into OCD and a case of anorexia. Kelly is the  popular girl in their group she is pretty and addicted to alcohol, sex and cocaine. Jason is a cool kid and he is an alcoholic. Eva was crushed by her mothers death and her father was dull, out of grief got addicted to painkillers to numb her pain. This book is put into the perspective of all five teens and third person when they are all together. It has a good flow and is well written over all.

Beautiful By Amy Reed Review

       In the book Beautiful Cassie moves from a small town to Seattle. Cassie makes a change from the dorky kid at school to the to cool for school kid. Being cool isn't everything she thought it would be. Amy Reed did a good job on making it easy to read between the lines. You can tell thought the book Cassie did not like who she became.Cassie is on a downward spiral and her life is quickly changing around. Teens can easily relate to this book. Cassie lies about the truth of who she is just to fit in. sometimes you dig a whole to deep you can't get out. Along her journey Cassie stumbles upon a group of people she calls her friends. Non of her new friends know what she is like or who she really is. it is the perfect opportunity to start fresh. Her new group of friends introduce her to a new world of things, things that are not always  good. She sticks with them because they are her new friends and she is now considered a cool kid.  But is being considered cool all that matters when is sends you on a spiral heading downwards?

Final Humor Assingment

Sorry, My Comic Life will not upload :/ To me humor is anything and everything that is funny, from puns to irony. Anything that can break the ice and make someone chuckle is a joke no matter how bad the joke. In our project we used exaggeration, puns, and play on things. Poking fun about something ridiculous is funny, that’s what most comedians do. They make fun of outrageous things such as fur coats like Jody likes to wear. It is rude comedy but it is the easiest form and it makes people laugh. Exaggeration made this project easy because you just pick out flaws and take it to the extreme. I did not particularly find this project too challenging. Some of the hard parts were making jokes that were funny. A lot of people perceive different things as funny, one person may think irony is funny and on may think farce is far greater. Trying to include everything was the biggest challenge, but we felt exaggeration was the funniest.

Humor Assingment: Flipped

My book Flipped is of the Farce variety in the comedy world. In the book Bryce the small minded boy goes from hating July with a passion to passionately liking July. After admitting to his best friend Garret that he now loves the girl he hated Garret states Bryce has flipped. July no longer likes Bryce because; she thinks he is not greater than the sum of his parts, after an incident. The irony in this book is what makes it farce. This book may not be Haha funny but it is ironic how he disliked her from the start and fell for her at the end. I found it funny the way things flipped around, then worked out in the end. Both July and Bryce got to see each other in a different light. I thought it was also funny how Bryce was knocking July's door no longer than a week after he said how can anyone like July Baker. The whole book is an ironic mess.

Third Satire Post

How to trick people into thinking you look good, take Snooki for example.

In this Video here --> .... Jenna Marbles questions what Beauty is thought of today. Who would have thought being an Oompa Loompa was hard work, apparently it is easier than it looks. It is funny how Jenna Marbles sarcastically teaches her viewers how to "look good". She over exaggerates everything thing in this video to make it funny.



In this next video here -> ... <-- This video stereo types dog lovers. It over uses phrases you might here a dog owner say. If you are dog perso don't be offended because you would have most likely used one of these phrases, that is what makes it funny is because it is true. Depending whether you find exaggeration funny you will most likely enjoy this video.

Second Satire

Thanks google for making me look lazy. I think I deserve some recognition for taking you for a run when you wanted to walk, I have your health in mind. Dragging you through the dirt is one of my tactics to get you to take a shower. You may not know this but I am very smart a lot more than you think I am. I know you did not through the ball it is still in your hand fool. If you need any help with herding sheep I am all for helping and receiving treats. I do not mean to brag but! I bet my tummy can hold more treats than yours, wanna have an eating contest. I'll definitely work better the eating contest and my nap, maybe if it is not too hot I will help. For today I think i will just lounge around and eat treats on the porch and watch you work all day, Have fun :)
