Stefan Pascariu Comic Satirical Comic Project Proposal

Directions: Complete the following questions – short answers are acceptable. Please get approval from Mr. Stephens before beginning your project.

What I plan to satirize is a person, George Bush. I will satirize and emphasize he is not good at making speeches and that he cannot making connections with either the topics he is talking about, or the people he is talking to. Basically this comic is a parody of one of George Bush's speeches.
 * What do you plan to satirize (idea, organization, person, etc.)?**

While making his speech George starts saying things people do not like, and finally a crowd member throws his shoes at him, forcing him to leave the stage.
 * What is the conflict in your story?**

- George begins his speech - He outlines his "solutions to the problems - Starts to go down hill starts making bad connections - Loses the audience and starts to panic - He angers the crowd and a man throws his shoes at him - He leaves the stage
 * Briefly outline the plot events (bullet points okay)…**

George Bush: making the speech Shoe throwing audience member: throws his shoes at George
 * Who are the characters? (a limited number is a good idea)**


 * State how you will use the following devices (use at least five of the six listed):**

When George says " I love my country of red, white, and blue.", this is not directly saying the United States of America but when he said that he is the president of America, and when he mentions those colors its easy to understand he is talking about this.
 * Allusion**

When George says " mexico spends from 1 million to 20 trillion dollars on tacos every year", this is obviously impossible because even though Mexico probably spends some millions on tacos it is simply impossible they spend trillions.
 * Hyperbole (exaggeration)**

 When George says " one thing i cannot stand is some politician making all the decisions. ", this is very ironic because George is the president and makes all the decisions concerning the war, and many other important affairs concerning the country.
 * Irony (sarcasm)**

 When George says " you shouldn't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for me.", ** this is a parody of the famous quote by John Kennedy "don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
 * Parody

When George says " I only spend some billions, on this conflict.", this is very understated because he says that billions of dollars is not alot of money, whereas in reality this is a vast quantity of cash, more than many small countries produce in a year.
 * Understatement**
