Recommended: Spongebob squarepants character analysis

Do you ever wonder what type of characteristics of a fictional character you have? Everybody wants to know themselves. Everybody wants to know what other people see in them or what they think when they look at them. The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Bugs Bunny from Looney Tunes for his seriousness at times and goofiness, Marvin the Martian for his quietness and cleverness, and SpongeBob Squarepants for being so gullible. Although Bugs Bunny is a rabbit who is one of the main characters in the Looney Tunes cartoons, that doesn't mean we don't have similarities; we both are sometimes serious and at the same time goofy.The audience is first introduced to Bugs Bunny in a cartoon called “A Wild Hare.” He was …show more content…

The audience was first introduced to Spongebob Squarepants in 1989. Spongebob started becoming a series in 1996. Spongebob was created by Stephen Hillenburg. Spongebob has this sort of childish behavior that makes him be gullible. He believes everything they tell him. Spongebob Squarepants gullibleness separates him from all the character. That makes him very unique because he’s not like the rest. He's very optimistic, good-natured, and naive. The audience gets to love spongbob because of his enthusiasm and gullibleness. In one of his episodes he believes there is such things as a bear fish. He gets really frightened about it because he's very gullible. Spongebob Squarepants has a neighbor that really doesn't like him so sometimes he tells him things that would scare him off because he knows Spongebob would believe him. Like Spongebob Squarepants, I too am gullible at times. I have some similarities as Spongebob. I'm very optimistic and gullible just like Spongebob. Even though I don't get scared when people tell him such and such exist. I would believe that they exist but not be scared of it. When there is a problem i'm very optimistic about it just like SpongeBob is when there is a problem. For some people i don't look like i'm 18 years old. That I still have some childish ways that I do, just like Spongebob. I might seem childish and that I need to grow up, but i see myself as a gullible person and optimistic. To be honest, I don't really mind what they say. There are some similarities with Spongebob and I. As much as Spongebob is optimistic and gullible, i too like that. As for me, I like being optimistic when there is a problem. I like being gullible when it comes to supernatural things like God and miracles etc. I feel like people that are optimistic are people that are very strong. I like those types

  • Napoleon Dynamite Stereotypes

    Movies are a new edition in today’s culture. They are a new form of art medium that has arrived in the late 1900s and were a new way to express ideas and viewpoints of the time. A good example of this is the movie The Manchurian Candidate. The movie had a simple plot a man is kidnapped after the Korean war and is hypnotized to work for the communists and take down the U.S. This movie showed the American public’s fear of communism at the time. If a movie like this can easily portray the fears of the American people at the time then it can easily portray stereotypes of gender. There have been thousands of movies where the male protagonist is a rough tough dude but there is one movie that has that stereotype is broken. That movie is none other than Napoleon Dynamite.

  • Jersey Shore Stereotypes

    901 Words  | 2 Pages

    I chose the show Jersey Shore for my stereotype paper for the fact that I feel as though there are many negative stereotypes against Italian-Americans surrounding this show. Jersey Shore is a reality television show on the network MTV that follows eight roommates that live on the Jersey Shore in New Jersey. The cast’s names are Ronnie Ortiz , Vinny, Jenni ‘Jwoww’, Nicole ‘Snooki’, Mike ‘The Situation’, Paul ‘Pauly D’, Sammi ‘Sweetheart’, and Deena. The roommates spend their days partying, drinking, and dating; and put very little emphasis on their jobs. One of the largest controversy is that they use the word “Guidos” to describe the male cast members while the girls are referred to as “Guidettes”. This is a very derogatory term that was used referring to Italian-Americans as vain or socially unsophisticated in American society. When the show first aired, the director purposely advertised using the promotion, “Watch Jersey Shore to follow eight of the hottest,

  • Stereotypes In Peter Pan

    Native Americans have been mistreated and taken advantage of as time went on in United States history. I remember when I was a kid sitting down eating my Cheetos watching Peter Pan and Pocahontas singing along to all of the songs in the movie. Since taking diversity classes in high school, I rewatched those movies and realized how awful they make Native Americans look and act. It’s been throughout the whole United States history that we have treated them unfairly from the Dawes act, stealing their land, and the way we use them in movies. We have falsely portrayed their views for our entertainment, which is wrong. The Native population are an important part of United States history that has been misrepresented due to pop culture being shown

    SpongeBob is an obvious match for the Greek god Triton. Triton is known for being helpful and friendly because “When the Argonauts were stranded in the desert he assisted them in finding passage from the lake back to the sea” (Greek Mythology). SpongeBob, like Triton, helps his friends in any way he can because of either his naivety or his good natured attitude. Like the Argonauts, Patrick is often unaware of his surroundings because of his almost nonexistent “street smarts”, which is why he requires the assistance of SpongeBob. The physical description of “Triton was depicted in Greek vase as fish-tailed merman, sometimes bearded, sometimes youthful” (Greek Mythology).

    Flappers were women who were characterized by their choice of bobbed hair, short skirts, and their enjoyment of jazz music. Flappers usually had bobbed hair styles, usually wore heavy make-up, loose fitted dresses and to be considered the perfect flapper they usually had a pale skin tone. The roaring 20s was a time of change in which the way society had chosen to view women. This was the beginning of the "flapper". A flapper was a woman who was extremely willing at parties with little to nothing as far as regret went. They’d tend to smoke, drink, dance, drive cars, have casual sex and usually couldn't hold onto a man. Flappers usually feigned to do everything the men would do while attending parties.
