Short essay on representation.


(In this task it has to 250 - 500 words)
The question: Analyse a show that relate to a resemblement of yourself and what actions which may link to you- any moving image of media (programs, adverts, sports, etc ...)

The program I've chosen that has a certain link to me is Jackass. The reasons why I've chosen this program is it's the most popular show i watch on T.V. I don't tend to watch t.v in the daytime i only watch it at night as i have a some spare time to chill and watch it and that is when Jackass comes on as it more adult material based.

The show Jackass shows a bunch of American males aged 19-27 doing stunts that are ridiculous and wreck less stunts and pranks, the reason why i watch it is because it's funny to see some of the stunts. The reason why it's so successful and appealing is because I'm a teenager and some shows you need a bit of crazy comedy in which Jackass is a perfect example to present it and also sometime i like to have a laugh and do a few crazy things for entertainment as also some other people may do i there lifetime.



Also looking at the actors and watching the show they mostly listen to rock music which i love and also there dress sense is like the same as mine some days they dress up formal and some days they wear loud t-shirts and jeans and trainers and also the hair style they have, so it's really the same zone that I'm in.

Now parents don't tend to watch or like this show due to silly and pointless stunts which leads to injury and pain. But my point is that what u get out of it is laughter and comedy and the actors also agreed to do the stunts, and the saying life to young is what Jackass represents. But that what makes this program so successful to different genders and ages because like today's times is hard and slow and dull and Jackass are just guy who want to have fun and earn money in a living for what they do, yes some of the things are stupid and crazy but at the same time its funny to watch.

Overall i think is aimed at people that have a sense of humor and enjoy watching people doing pranks and ridiculous stuff to make people laugh and them earning money and being famous for it. I think it's a talent in what they do and it's funny so that's why i watch it, and i think people around my age to 25-30 would also watch it.
