  • Prison Break of Season One
    US-China Foreign Language, February 2017, Vol. 15, No. 2, 116-120 doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2017.02.006 D DAVID PUBLISHING Application of Metaphor in Prison Break of Season One SONG Gui-xia Binzhou University, Binzhou, China In 2005, Prison Break of Season One witnessed the 18,000,000 audience rating in dull season in America for the unique artificial charm in America. One of the most important reasons of success lies in the frequent and sufficient use of metaphor which strengthens the artificial power tremendously. Metaphor is a very important technique of imagination, which reflects one concept to another concept and plays a very important role in the course of human’s perception for the world. In the drama, tattoo, escaping group, paper crane, etc., all reflect the author’s insight for the society, revolt, and protest, expressing his pursuit and yearning for freedom, love, and family. Keywords: Prison Break, love and freedom, metaphor Metaphor Theory Conception metaphor theory is a new branch of cognitive linguistics study. It originates from the 1980s and this school’s representatives are American productive linguist Claff and English philosopher Johnson. It states that humankind’s cognition always bases on its own experience, our concept system, and thinking course by the construction of metaphors. Metaphor is not just a way of thinking and cognition which characterizes human being’s thinking. As Claff (1980) dictates, metaphor is a very important technique of imagination, which reflects one concept to another concept and plays a very important role in the course of human’s cognition of the world.

  • Video Reviews 9-28-07.Qxp
    New On Video & DVD Family Guy Season 5 Seth MacFarlane's animated comedy continues its assault on pop culture, good taste, and the Fox censors with its riotous fifth season. Even though nothing has really changed for the Griffin family, there's still plenty of comedic ground to cover. Peter keeps his crown as the laziest man in Quahog, Rhode Island, but getting older means experiences that no man should have to go through. Meanwhile, his beloved Lois is still far too sexy for her portly husband, leading to a liaison with Bill Clinton. Son Chris joins a band, but he can't seem to shake his fear of the evil monkey in his closet. Daughter Meg continues her tour of mediocrity with a job at a store in town, while Brian the dog puts down his martini long enough to go beyond the bounds of Quahog and travel to Iraq. Baby Stewie remains intent on world domination and matricide, but he takes some time off to connect with an ex- love. Volume five includes the first 13 episodes of the fifth season, plus commentary, deleted scenes and more to delight Family Guy fans. Disc 1 includes the following episodes: "Stewie Loves Lois," "Mother Tucker," "Hell Comes to Quahog," "Saving Private Brian," "Whistle While Your Wife Works" and "Prick Up Your Ears."
