The Plausible Impossible

THE PLAUSIBLE IMPOSSIBLE

The Plausible Impossible has to do with the things in cartoons that happen that are impossible but are somewhat plausible.

 In this scene, the plausible impossible is shown by the typewriter sound that is made when Gus Goose eats his corn. It is possible that you can eat the corn side to side as he does but it is impossible to make the typewriter sound.
 In this scene, the plausible impossible is shown by how Gus Goose shoots the sandwich into his mouth like a deck of cards. This is plausible because you can eat a sandwich this way, but you cannot make a sandwich fly like a deck of cards, because they don't have the same composition.
 
Here, Gus Goose's neck makes an accordion sound. It is impossible because someones neck cannot make that sound, but it is plausible because the accordion looks like his neck in this scene, so it makes the sound.
In this scene, Gus Goose is using a straw to suck in some peas. This is impossible because you cannot suck in peas that are all the way across the table. This is plausible because you can suck peas through a straw.
Here, Gus Goose is hitting Donald on the head with his umbrella and it is making a hollow sound. This is impossible because someone's head isn't hollow, it has a brain. But this is plausible because hitting someone in the head would make noise.

10 Things I Can't Live Without

10 Things I Can't Live Without:

My items reveal my personal story because I use most of the items every single day of my life. I play Xbox® every day with my friends, and it takes my mind away from the  rough life as a teenager. My iPod 5 is also a center point in my life. I cannot think of one day that I haven't used it. It gives me access to all the social networking I need. Doing this project has taught me a lot about balance and using unused space.
