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.

Emily Jensen-- Post 2

So, my last post ended with Emma just getting ready for her date with Jack. the second hal of the book was all about how Jack and Emma started a relationship and all the ups and downs of it. Their first date was a complete disaster, so Emma wanted to plan the second one.. which started out really bad to but then they ended up having pizza on a park bench, just spending time together. When Jack has to go because of some emrgency they have their first kiss goodbye. That Saturday was the corporate family day, which all the employees bring thier family to this big occasion. The employees were all supposed to wear comstumes but with Emma trying to impress Jack by looking nice she didnt wear a costume, however when she shows up she if forced to change and put on a snow white costume. She had also 'forgotten' to tell her parents about the event so they werent coming she told Cyril. But to her unknowing they soon show up because Artemis had told them all about one day when her parents had tried to reach Emma by phone. So, Jack ended up meeting all her family and ended exposing Kerry for how she really treated Emma. and then Emma ended up telling her off infront of her parents and Nev, and for the first time her parents realize how she really felt. After that Jack and Emma end up going into one of Jack's rooms at the place and they had sex....numerous times.... She has fallen for him. she feels so happy for days, but then... one day Jack has an interview on tv about stuff and he ends up talking about a new idea the company has and some how he starts naming off all these secrets and habits that Emma has (not using her name though) but everyone at the company was watching it and realizes its Emma tht he's talking about so now everyone that she knows knows all her secrets that Jack wss supposed to keep secret, this made Emma veryyy mad and Jack tries talking to her about it later saying he didnt mean to but she won't listen and she is upset that he knows everyhting about her yet she knows nothing about him. so she doesnt talk to him for a long time but then Emma tells her two roommates about it and the one, Jemina, wants to help her get revenge, and this girl is crazy! she was coming up with all sorts of ways to get him back, but what she ended up doing was getting a tabloid journalist to figure out what secret Jack was hiding. by this time Jack had finally told Emma the secret and they had made up and were getting along but then Jack saw Emma sitting in a room with her roommates and the journalist and he thought she was telling his secret so her got mad. But then later that night he comes back to her and starts telling her all his little secrets like that he's scared of the dark and keeps a baseball bat under his bed just in case, and that he doesn't actually like Panther Cola , that he prefers Pepsi, which is ironic since he is co-ineventor of the Panther comapny. and then the books ends with them walking off together with Jack telling Emma all his secrets.

This book is actually really good. it goes inside a girl's mind and shows what oridnary people can go through alot and end up getting things they could have never imagined. This book is pretty funny with all the drama there is between the roomates, and between Emma and Jack and then also Emma and her coworkers. Emma seemed to sometimes overreact with sometimes with the whole jack keeping secrets and stuff, and her roommate espically did, because she goes from guy to guy and she wouldnt believe that jack actually liked emma and then when her hurt her she wanted to go to extreme to get him back to show woman are powerful. But of course in the end Emma came out on top with her man Jack!
