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.

The narrator in Angus, thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging is a teenager who is trying to get through life which at times comes very difficult to her. Her parents aren't much of a help and expect her to be the one who has to step up and take care of her little sister Libby. Libby is a toddler in which is a handful and often has embarrassing moments in front of her friends in public places. The narrator still is so concern that boys will never be interested in her and that she will never receive her first kiss. School is a adventure doing yoga every day after lunch is her daily routine. Which she calls it "The Sun Salute" she has may funny moves that involve her yoga moves. Raising your hands up is considered "welcoming the sun" and bending down is there for acting like you are not worthy to anyone. Some interruptions happen while she is enjoying her Sun Salute sections. Her teachers walk in on her while she is doing other poses which are very embarrassing to the her. Also at school that i found humorous is the way that her friends and her make up lists during class to see what they want in a boyfriend and the qualities that they need to have. The title of this book fits it very well Angus the cat that is very different than other cats and the thongs that the narrator and her friends think are the most uncomfortable thing that any one could wear and full-frontal snogging witch means kissing with all the trimmings, lip to lip, open mouth, tongues....everything(page 239. Angus, thong Full-Frontal snogging is a book that is humorous in many levels and the way that a teenagers mind things from having random things pop up in her head what she calls the "sex god" to her understanding of relationships that she thinks she may never have. Untill the sex god has landed.
