If the verb is an ACTION verb . . .

then it might act on a direct object. The direct object is a noun or an object pronoun that receives the action of the action verb.

If you have a direct object, you might have an indirect object. An indirect object is a noun or object pronoun that is located between the action verb and the direct object, and it is only indirectly affected by the action.

My favorite movie is “The Cutting Edge,” a romantic comedy about a hockey player turned pairs figure skater, because it is full of sarcastic comments. When the hockey player (Doug) and the figure skater (Kate) first meet he knocks her down and doesn’t apologize, which prompts her to say, “What were you raised in, a barn?” This shows that she is likely to respond with sarcasm when provoked, it also indicates that the “romance” may be hidden by extreme dislike. Another example of sarcasm in the movie occurs during training when Doug leaves Kate suspended in the air after being insulted by her, to which she adds another insult, “You have the mentality of a rock, do you know that?” This example insinuates that Kate is the instigator in many of these arguments because she is the first to throw an insult. However, it becomes clear that Doug is not one to back down which only adds to the comedic tone of the movie. The epitome of sarcasm is shown in this next comment said by Doug when Kate mentions she has a boyfriend who leaves in England, he says, “Bet you look pretty good from a few thousand miles away.” Most of the time a statement like this is either laced with sarcasm or ill intent. It is obvious Doug loves to bait Kate, therefore this comment is seen as a means of drawing out her sarcastic tone. No matter the outcome of the romance, “The Cutting Edge” is a fun and engaging movie full of slanderous one-liners guaranteed to make the most solemn laugh out loud.
