. The use of appropriation and intertextuality in satire:


Choose a novel which you have read, preferably one that would be well-known by the general public, and consider how it could be satirised in the way we have discussed the makers of “The Simpsons” appropriate famous texts.

Write a submission to the makers of “The Simpsons”, “Family Guy” or “South Park” to present your ideas for an episode. Include a brief 3-4 sentence synopsis of the main storyline of the original text, followed by 2-3 sentences which outline the major themes which your episode would focus on.   (10 marks)

The main story line of the new Simpson episode is Bart finds this old dirty donut in the river when he is fishing and then Willy steals it from him and grows old and obsessed with it and then when the evil EPA comes and tries to take over middle Springfield home Homer and Ned Flanders must go on a quest to save middle Springfield and it all ends with the Donut being destroyed in the only way possible being eaten by Homer




The main themes that this addresses is the making fun of all the people that are totally obsessed and that lord of the ring is so easily changed into the Lord of the Donut
