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…

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

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.

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).

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.
