Modes of Literature: Phineas and Ferb

  My sister really likes the TV show Phineas and Ferb. I must say that I enjoy it too because I find it funny at times. I think it's comedy because everything starts normal (normalcy), then turns into chaos. The "boys" start to build some contraption and then something almost always goes wrong with it (problem/conflict). In addition, their sister is trying to get them in trouble for it by calling their mom. But right before she gets there, their contraption disappears. It usually has to do with their pet platypus who also happens to be a secret agent. (solution, even though it wasn't solved by the main character) The boys just sit under a tree, innocent, like nothing happened. (Return to normalcy)
