- What does this episode have to say about being one of the group?
This episodes says that if you are not a true team player or
an active part of the group, that you are at a disadvantage as compared to
others in the group. Also, by being at a
disadvantage, bad things will happen to you while good things happen to others.
- This episode can be interpreted as a commentary on institutionalized religion: what is it saying?
It is saying that when you take part in the club, you are
always a member of the club because of the initial commitment that you made to
the organization and to the people in it.
- Writers and creators are increasingly using the medium of animation to communicate adult themes; how/why does animation create a different effect?
Animation creates a different effect on communicating adult
themes because animation is more appealing to people’s senses rather than
reading or other forms of communication.
Also, it exaggerates the issues that adults can relate to, but can be
shown to multiple audiences.
- Spongebob is a show created for young children. Do you believe that communicating adult, political, or social messages belong in shows marketed to children? Does it matter that the children don't actually know what is being said?
I’m neutral on the idea, because as a younger child, you
won’t really notice the adult or political theme, but when you look back on it
as an adult, you may see the connection.
I don’t think it matters if young children understand what is being
said, but as they grow older, it becomes something that needs to be understood.
