Book Review: "Violence and the Sacred" by René Girard
The claim that we desire things because others desire them is quite confidently the basis of many psychology books and many claims made about modern culture - especially concerning consumerism. Rather than wanting objects for their intrinsic value, humans imitate the desires of others, especially those they perceive as rivals or models. In his book All Desire is a Desire for Being, the author makes this bold claim backed up with ideas and facts to illustrate them. In my review of the book last year, I saw that Girard's maxims were anthologised as something called mimesis and that 'desire' was actually imitation. (I even depicted this through a clip from The Simpsons tagged in the review itself). But how does this then transfer to the idea of human sacrifice, religion and man's natural propensity for violence?

Spongebob Reviews
In this episode "Tea at the Treedome" I will be discussing the third segment of the first episode of Spongebob Squarepants. It aired alongside "Help Wanted" and "Reef Blower" on May 1, 1999. I will not be a separate review on "Reef Blower" as it was two minutes long and it had no real dialogue other than the subtitle "You" coming from Spongebob. The short segment is about Spongebob using a reef blower, which is a sea version of a leaf blower. And this happens because Squidward throws a shell from his lawn onto Spongebob’s. He is understandably not happy at it and gets his reef blower to blow it back onto Squidward’s lawn, which he successfully does after several tries. All it took was the reef blower blowing sand everywhere, the sand being sucked up by the reef blower and the reef blower exploding, causing the sand to fly all over Squidward’s house. Now onto the episode "Tea at the Treedome", as I mentioned before it marks the debut of Sandy Cheeks, voiced by Carolyn Lawrence, also known as the voice of Cindy Vortex from the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius franchise. Carolyn Lawrence uses a Southern drawl, which is significant for Sandy as the character is from Texas. It has been long stated that Sandy and Spongebob are meant to be just friends, despite mutual feelings and sometimes attraction, but it goes no further.

Spongebob Reviews
In the episode that started it all, which became an influence to animators and writers throughout the 2000s going into the 2010s and put its network into full gear, I want to talk about one of the greatest cartoon shows of all time. That show is Spongebob Squarepants. For over 25 years, this show has played a role that inspired and helped shape cartoons in the decades since then for the better or worse. Today I will be discussing the first episode, “Help Wanted” written by the late great creator Stephen Hillenburg alongside Tim Hill and Derek Drymon. The trio had worked on Rocko’s Modern Life, also on Nickelodeon prior until its cancellation. This led to the development of the production of Spongebob. However, ideas and drawings were done by Stephen Hillenburg, inspired by his own previous prototype called SpongeBoy. Two versions of this episode were produced. The original 1997 version that was first pitched which also had a completely different intro. And there’s the 1999 recut version that is recognized by viewers and critics alike today, Plus the original had errors that were corrected by the time the recut was done. Some songs had to be changed, some of the artwork had mistakes that were kept in and the names in the credits were misspelled but later put in the correct spelling. Regardless this remains one of the best episodes in the show.
