*Figurative Language*
1. "For well over a century, Skull and Bones has provided a safe and brotherly environment where future Supreme Court Justices, Presidents, and Captain of Industry can gather to urinate on Geronimo's bones" (127).

2. "And like a sneaky merman singing on the rocks, I try to lure young sailors away from the charted waters to a harsh and certain doom" (128). This is an example of a simile because he uses the word like to compare himself to a sneaky merman.
3. "It was like the Bill of Rights, only for movies, and instead if saying what you could do, it said what you couldn't" (135). This is an example of a simile because he uses the word like to compare the Production Code to the Bill of Rights.

*Quote*
"I read the news today. Oh Boy" (151). This quote was actually stated by John Lennon, one of the members of The Beatles. And, this was also just an opening quote for Stephen's chapter on "Media". However, this quote pretty much sums up Colbert's opinion on the Media. In this chapter he clearly makes fun of anything that has to do with the Media and how crazy some of the things that come out are.

*Theme*
One theme that emerged was when writing your college essays, use a thesaurus and use bigger words. Another theme that emerged was that the media is crazy with all of the things it can come up with.
