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.

Holes post 2

At this point in my book Stanley and Zero have become very good friends. Stanley has agreed to help Zero read if he helps dig his holes. Mean while every one else is digging their own hills. There is a new kid that comes in. They call him twitch, and him and Stanley decided to steal the sunflower seeds from Mr. Sir. When they got caught Stanley took the blame. Kate was really upset cause they were burning down her school because she kissed Sam so she ran off but she got caught. When Stanley and Zero got caught helping each other, Zero got mad and took the shovel and smashed Mr. Pendanski in the face and ran away. Later on a few days later Stanley stole the water truck to try to get away but crashed it into a hole. He then ran looking for Zero. When he found zero they decided they were going to go up to the "thumb." Zero got got really sick and Stanley carried him up the mountain. When they got to the top they found water and food, which was onions still in the ground. Zero told Stanley that they should go back to the camp to get a shovel to dig one more hole. They ended up going to the camp and got a shovel. They dug a hole and found a treasure chest with Stanley Yelnats written on it. In the morning they found both Zero and Stanley. In the end they got to go home with all the treasure and the family was no longer "cursed." Zero met his mom and was reunited with her.
There was not very many funny parts in the book but it was all based on a comedy that everyone can relate to in life, from failure, to getting into some type of trouble. Also the bondingship two stangers can have with eachother and unite together to help one another.I believe that everyone can relate to this book in some way.
