Number of words: 756 | Number of pages: 3.... make ends meet. As soon as I was old enough to understand how life was for me, I went to work. At the age of 6 I was out on the streets offering my services to any whom would need them. I can still remember my first job cleaning up after horses. I would stay in the stables all day long digging up the foul-smelling mess of the animals. Oh, how the days went by. After many years of the same cleaning I decided it was time to move on. Now at 11 I started in the construction of houses. Digging and moving wood and blocks I became almost an expert. I had definitely found my calling in life. I had developed a fine grasp of the d .....

The Simpsons
Number of words: 360 | Number of pages: 2.... The cartoon though is what helps achieve many of the
humorous aspects. For example a spill of nuclear waste would not be very
amusing in a show with real people.
The show has the assumption that it is OK if your family argues all the
time. It shows this by the little arguments that the family constantly gets

example is when they're eating at home they use no table manners whatsoever and
when they go to church they try to be like normal families. There are times in
the show when they step away from comedy and give a meaningful message about .....

mob’s emotions in order to get what he wanted; he did not care who he was
hurting. .....
