Along with the town, Homer's father thought they were wasting their time with their rockets. He wanted Homer to be a coal miner just like everyone else but Homer knew he didn't belong there. As time went on, some people from town became interested in seeing the homemade missiles launch into the sky. The boys became popular and were known as the "Rocketboys" around town. When Homer and his friends fired one of the first rockets off and it crashed into one of the company buildings, Homer's dad said not to shoot anymore rockets on company property.
Afghanistan is a type of explosion laboratory because there are always rockets and bombs blowing up houses and buildings.

All the explosions from the fireworks make him remember the explosions from the bombs and shells from the War. In the beginning of the poem the author shows us the anticipation of the children and Uncle John before the fireworks are set off. The fireworks would have been set off in size order, the little ones first then they would have set off the bangers. After the little ones were set off, Uncle John wouldn’t be enjoying it so much now because, the big huge bangers were going off and reminding him off his past in World War 2. The first sentence in the poem describes the cardboard boxes as ’cardboard buds’ and the fireworks as buds then they begin to flower.
The concern is dramatized in the neutral tone and precise detail of imagery used in the narration of this short story, intensifying the horror of the use of nuclear weapons. The story starts off with a happy family living in a wonderful electronic house until “And then one day s the world shook and there was an explosion followed by ten thousand explosions and red fire in the sky and a rain of ashes and radio-activity, and the happy time was over.” We know that the family has died but it is not said in the text as it is obvious in the way this text is constructed. This house this family lives in is no ordinary house. Even thought the inhabitants don’t exist anymore, the house still functions to its capacity. The house does everything for them, cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner, and warms up the beds before they go to sleep as well as normal everyday chores.
Before this incident people thought that greasers were only ruffians, idlers but Ponyboys action, changed everything society was no more talking mockingly and bad thing about Greasers.

When one of the “socs” member and Randys girlfriend, Cherry says to Ponyboy that things are rough all over she means that Socs have more important problems that Ponyboy could never think about it.

Woody Allen opens with facing “the cinema audience directly and tells them that two jokes summarize his life. One is the classic from Freud and Grouche Marx: “I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member.” In the other joke, a tourist at a Catskills resort complains about how terrible the food is. “And in such small portions,” her listener adds. As Allen explains, life is like that: “full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness and it’s all over much too quickly.” At the end of the film, Alvy Singer (the character now distinguishable from Allen) recounts another joke in voice-over. A man tells a psychiatrist that his brother thinks himself a chicken.

The theatre is grand, red, empty and silent. Nothing else is heard except for the conversation between Chicken Little and his father. Their words broke the silence and filled the empty space, as though metaphorically they have broken through the communication barrier and filling the wide, empty gap between their hearts.

Is comedy getting too cruel? Was Ricky Gervais's Golden Globes turn funny, or just mean? Is comedy getting too cruel? Comedians Steve Punt and Shappi Khorsandi debate what is a joke too far Depending on your sensitivity level (and, more likely, your nationality) Ricky Gervais either bombed or did brilliantly when he hosted the Golden Globes last weekend.
