[Bessian and Diana cut their honeymoon short and decide to leave the High Plateau. They pack their things, check out of the hotel, and load their possessions in the coach and leave.]
While Gjorg is wandering around the High Plateau, he couldn’t help but wonder where the coach with the lovely woman and her new husband ride in. He heard horses galloping at a medium pace, and instantly, he spotted the coach where the newlyweds rode in. “Stop!! Stop!” he shouted. The driver halted the horses and asked what he was troubling him for. Diana heard the voice of Gjorg and opened the curtains to find him conversing with their driver. Gjorg noticed Diana and became mesmerized with her delicate blue eyes. “Hey Gjorg, we were on our way to the airport to catch our flight back to the United States,” she exclaimed. “Why are y’all leaving so soon?” Gjorg asked. “My husband feels as if I am losing interest in him because of this unfamiliar habitat,” she said while rolling her eyes. “Would you like to show us where the airport is at because I think our driver has no clue where we are going?” she begged. “Okay…sure. I don’t have anything else on my agenda.” Gjorg replied. Gjorg entered the coach as Bessian looked at him and Diana with dismay and a questioning glance. “Baby, I hope you don’t mind if I invited Gjorg to guide us to our destination!” she said with a cautious voice. “It’s fine with me,” Bessian said grudgingly. After a while, Gjorg began to tell the couple about the blood feud and explained that someone will eventually kill him. “Who came up with these rules and why do you have to abide by them?” Diana asked. “These rules are written in the Kanun which is our guide to life and we have to abide by these rules because we do not want our...

The word sitcom is short for Situation Comedy. A good sitcom story idea places the star (or supporting character) into a situation in need of a resolution, which will cause the character to respond in unexpected, exaggerated, and hugely sidesplitting ways (Rannow, pg. 13). A comedy now days are different from how they were in the 1960's and 1970's though. Today directors use sexual content and foul language to make people laugh and do not usually have a purpose or point to get across to the audience with each show. In earlier comedy, such as The Brady Bunch, Director Jack Arnold tried have a lesson learned in each episode while still maintaining a sense of humor, minus the foul language and sexual content. Although the show is not extremely funny to most people it is still a classic show that deserves to be remembered.

While Gus strives to protect the family’s roles and community
Every movie that is written has a certain attitude to it. Some of these are intended to be laughed at and others are meant to be heartfelt. Though each movie is written with its own voice, so to speak, many have similar plots or themes. The two movies Fools Rush In and My Big Fat Greek Wedding are two of these movies that have similarities in the themes, but not necessarily in the plots. Both of these romantic comedies have strong religious backgrounds on the woman’s side of the family and differences in culture. The main theme between these two movies is the quest for happiness and all the troubles that must be overcome to achieve it.
