HELLO! BLOG READERS OF THE WORLD!!! Sorry, I haven't posted in a bit it has truly been hectic in life and what not. And to professor Herron ( the man who grades my assignments), I am sorry. The next three posts will be of the blogs that I haven't responded to.
So let me begin!
Matthew, the child in my class who either has some pretty stellar socks or not, decided to do his lead blog post on the prayer scene from Talidagea Nights. In the scene, Will Ferrell plays the character of the race car driver Ricky Bobby, who at dinner, takes it upon himself to say grace. Matthew came from the angle that the scene shows how unnecessary prayer is what is making the scene funny. And to an extent, I think that observation is accurate. I mean they scene definitely pokes fun at religion. But what I think was really the deciding factor of the humor was how the wife did not oppose the absurdity of the prayer except for when she took note of how her beloved kept demeaning Jesus by only referring to Him as a sweet baby. I thought that was very interesting and that pretty much stemmed the rest of the humor throughout the scene.
