What is Humor?

Humor is "what makes stuff funny" and has the "power to evoke laughter." You will be exploring humor in a novel of your choice.



It is very important that you make wise decisions in this project since this is one of two major projects before the end of the year and it will take you several weeks.



For your individual novel, you get to choose a novel that uses humor. Making a good choice of novel will make this easier for you. Choose a novel that will expand and challenge your humor. Do not choose a novel just because you think it is short; this often makes things more difficult. Do not try to get away without reading the novel. This is a novel project - you need to READ a novel.

  1. This book is funny - the movie was pretty good too.

    The post was difficult to read because of the run-on sentences. It is hard to follow your main ideas when they all run together.

    You had some nice plot summary but I want you to go into more detail with the humor. For example you mention irony but you didn't say a lot about it.
