adaptations of previous works, the film retains certain elements from the original narrative while introducing elements to present the story in a new way. Most of the characters from Twelfth Night are represented in She’s the Man. Additionally, the focus on humor and commentary on gender stereotypes remain constant between the two works.

August: Osage County Critique I felt that the play over all was well put together. The play takes one extremely dysfunctional family, and uses it to illustrate a plethora of things that can go wrong within a family. The play is filled with dark humor, and has a feel to match. The play starts out with Beverly in his study rambling on about philosophy to a new live in maid he has hired to look after the house. As he rambles his wife, Violet, wakes up, barred out on pills, stumbles downstairs and

the ad is humor as well as shock appeal. When I first saw the ad, I actually laughed out loud. This ad shows a female that is frozen solid and sticking her blue tongue out. The shock appeal is the way that the female looks, and the humorous part is that she is frozen and is sticking out her tongue (Sprite Ice Blue, 2011). I feel that this technique would work well for other products in the beverage category. There are other beverages that are unique like this one, and combining humor with shock
