I’m not a writer, I’m a monkey! I’m supposed to be swinging on tree branches and digging up ants, not sitting under fluorescent lights ten hours a day (Ives 1635)! Similarly in the movie Office Space, the main character Peter cries, “Humans were not meant to sit in little cubicles starring at computer screens all day filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements”(Office). Mike Judge has experience directing actors in the movie Office Space who go through the same kind of frustrations the characters in the play experience. For this reason and others mentioned prior, I know he would be excellent at highlighting the satirical situations involved in Words, Words,

The Monkey King’s arrogance and feud with the King of Heaven had landed him under a pile of rocks for 500 years (Yang, American Born Chinese 84). His only way to freedom came from a humble monk sent by the King. The Monkey Kings charge was to reconcile the fact that he was indeed a monkey, to accept being the monks disciple, and to “return to your true form and you shall be freed” (Yang, American Born Chinese 145). He stubbornly refused, causing the monk to be in grave danger. As a last chance at freedom, the Monkey King returned to his true identity, saved the monk, obtained his freedom, and happily served the monk and the King of Heaven faithfully.
I shouldn't do ****. I don't care about them they all could die and it won't affect my life. I know a lot about them but I don't need to think about them. They're just a waste of time koalas are stupid they don't help me with **** so why should I help them. If they all die there will be more room for the panthers and all the other hard animals.
Once the narrator arrives in the room he learns that his teacher is a mind-reading gorilla. Although this would normally scare most people off it makes the narrator more intrigued. The reason that Quinn uses a gorilla as the teacher is so that his message would get to the readers more effectively. The whole point of the novel is to make the narrator realize that are world is full of takers and leavers. The takers are the people who use all off our natural resources and never think about the consequences of their actions.
The tail is used in almost every move they make, climbing trees, grasping branches, balancing and even protecting themselves from predators. (PIN) I really noticed how much they value their tails, as I observed them at the Los Angeles zoo, Their tails are very unique and are not found in any old world monkeys. Hey have long fingers which resemble hooks are used to exactly as that, they hook and grip branches. The cool thing about the spider monkey is that they have little to no thumbs. Nature has selected out the thumb in order for the spider monkey to swing through trees since they are closely 100% arboreal as well as 100% quadrapedal.
Donnie Darko shows how the monstrous can be represented or misrepresented depending on the interpretation by the viewer. This is a film filled with elements of science fiction, horror and drama but does not come under one genre. Its appeal is in its eccentric way of telling a story, and its ambiguities of both the characters and the exploration of determinism and free will, sanity and insanity, loneliness and love. However it also rejects most common conventions having the main monstrous figure -Frank the bunny- also the one responsible to get Donnie (the protagonist) ready before the world ends, thus saving the original world by causing the destruction of the tangent world. It uses the story to convey its meaning primarily through dialogue and meticulous editing and leaves the majority of the interpretation of the film up to the viewer’s imagination.
The boys aren’t mature enough to realize that they are stuck on an island, nobody knows where they are, and they are probably going to die there. All the boys other than Ralph, Piggy, and Simon are completely oblivious to the fact that they need to be rescued, or they will die. All the others care about is having fun, hunting, and acting like a little tribe of savages. Hunting is what’s most important to most of the boys. If Jack and his hunters would have been taking care of all of their responsibilities instead of just hunting all day, if they would have just been watching the fire they could have gotten off the island before anybody could get hurt, before it was a game of life and death.
Humans are so firm in their belief that they themselves have the power to change their lives, but this power is imaginary and they are simply taking the only path they can because we are all “bugs trapped in amber”. Human beings are slaves to predestination. The Tralfamdorians again express their disbelief in free will at the end of Chapter Four, when Billy how he got on the Tralfamadorian saucer. The plunger shaped alien expresses, “It would take another Earthling to explain it to you. Earthlings are great explainers, explaining why this event is structured as it is, telling how other events may be achieved or avoided.
