The Simpson

The Simpsons have been one of the most popular TV shows since their debut on 1989. It was created by Matt Groening and now it is directed by Al Jean. The Simpsons have been on air for almost 2o years and have almost completed 400 episodes! They are now presenting the eighteenth season and have really good episodes. The Simpsons have won many awards since they were presented, 23 Emmy Awards, 22 Annie Awards, a Peabody, a Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, a 20th century greatest achievements, the best century program, Bart was named on the 100 influencial people, and many other awards.

The Simpson family is composed by Homer Simpson(father), Marge Simpson(mother), Bart Simpson(oldest brother), Lisa Simpson(middle sister), and Maggie Simpson(baby). These are the main characters of the family, but in some episodes they show other familiares. Every character on the show has a big difference from others. Some of them are known for some phrases they use like Bart's "Ay caramba" and Homer's "D'oh" which is finded on the oxford's dictionary. Even in some episodes, they use famous people as characters, they have used musical bands, presidents, and sports players.

I love to watch the Simpsons when I can. This TV show has been the best cartoons I have watch. The Simpsons are funny and interesting, in the TV show they have done almost everything. When I watch the Simposons I laugh and have a good time. My favorite character is Bart, he makes funny jokes and like to bother people. I also like Homer, he doesn't have very intelligent ideas, but it results into funny problems they need to fix.

I think the Simpsons have influenced in many terms. Many people use their phrases and even musical bands have been influenced by this TV show. I think that the Simpsons will continue for much more longer time than 20 years, and I think this will be the world's most appreciated show ever.

Monsters are Due on Maple Street

Monsters are Due on Maple Street showed a message that "Guns are not the only weapons people have. Suspicion and mistrust can be even worse". In the story, the aliens took Maple Street to free the worse enemy people had and it was themselves. People didn't knew who they could blame for the blackout and the aliens, and they started to look for a scapegoat. Every time they accuse someone, that person blamed another one. Everybody suspected from who they say and ended up killing Pete van Horn and then all the neighbors destroyed everything they could.

I think that the message is right, when people suspect of others it means that they don't trust them. People were blamed even though they weren't guilty. The problem wasn't telling the truth at first, what really started the fight was one blaming another. I think that this story really tells what the author was feeling when he wrote this story. This story reminds me when I once fighted with my sister, I was playing and she wanted to play too, but the game was just for one person. When I went to get her so she could play, the game stopped and then she told my father I did something to her. I had done nothing to her but I was blamed.

Technology would change a lot in the play. Scientist don't know so much of aliens because they haven't seen them or have evidences of how and where they live, so for the play they could put aliens the way they think they are. In a blackout, it wouldn't be possible that battery electronics and motorized vehicles would be affected, only plugs and light could be. For the play, I would continue using the cars blackout because the story is about aliens and that makes the story cooler. I would continue using the town because it makes the story scarier and difficulter for people to get help. For the aliens landing, I would make aliens land at the back of a bush in a little mountain because people can't see them and aliens have a good place to look what is happening. If Tommy was updated for the play, instead reading comics, he would watch TV programs and using Internet to give the information.
