Douglas Stout: Salma HayekThroughout our entire life, it is impossible for one not to experience caricatures in their life. Caricature artists have been a subject of some radio broadcast and television news. Their works always captured not just the mainstream media but the ordinary people.

Different intended purposes are on the heads of caricaturists. They make their caricatures almost everything that they can think off. For some who wanted to expose something of great value they create caricatures in a humorous or comical way. Through these, targeted audiences will have a good grasp of the issue they try to convey.

Depending on how artist make their caricatures, their intended purpose will be understood. Negative aspect of caricatures should not always be interpreted as sole cause of creating this piece of art. There are various interpretations of caricatures, therefore it should be understood in different ways. Those caricatures that heavily targets political persona are satirical in nature.

Shows About College Shows


2011

There are plenty of tv shows written about college kids. My favorite is probably the short lived Undeclared, written by the now famous Judd Apatow. But there are also a lot of shows that didn’t start out that way. Boy Meets World, for instance, is totally about a middle schooler, but as the show progresses, the kids inevitably get older, and we’d start to suspect something was up if they didn’t age accordingly. Hence, we have the college years, the years when William Russ and the lady who plays Cory’s mom sort of disappear, the years when Angela and Shaun are living together and Cory has to deal with co-ed bathrooms and other college aged stuff. But the show never really delves too deeply into debauchery of college life, and parents make appearances, like when Cory and Topanga’s faucet breaks but Alan Matthews (Russ’s character) won’t fix it for him.
