When I sat down to write/think of something that is an example of parody/satire, I admit it, I had to look up exactly what they both ment then I went from there. Once I found the definitions of both, I read Andrea's example on parody of "Oprah out of control". It helped me get a clue to what I was looking for.
After analyzing everything, a movie popped into my head that would be a great example!! It is one of my favorite movies and it works perfect. It is a funny movie that makes fun of a serious series of movies. The movie is Austin Powers. All the Austin Powers movies are a play off of James Bond movies. In the movies he acts like James Bond and goes on little missions. Eventually there is "the girl" that keeps him from finishing all the way, and then the "evil/bad guy" that gets in his way. All in all it is a funny movie that makes fun of a serious movie that has been popular since 1962 when James Bond first came out.

This is very true. Austin Powers is a great example for this assignment. I am sure that a lot of the people in our class understand this satire also. If you had a chance to do a parody/satire what would you rewrite and how would you do it? The example that you have is very good but you should expand on the topic more. Give exact examples and comparisions from each movie. It seems like you understand the topic very well though. You showed this in your writing and the only thing that I can say is maybe expand on it more and explain it a little more so that others can understans parodys and satires as much as you do.
