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.

Zombie Butts From Uranus

Part II

At this point in the story our hero Zach travels back to his home town to find it destroyed. In a panic Zach heads over to his beloved Grandma's house, to his surprise the house is untouched. After a while he learns that his gran is The Pincher a butt fighting warrior. The attack on the city isn't over and the duo is doomed. Luckily Zach's friend from the academy arrives to their rescue.

The group decides to go to the safest place they can think of, the academy. Sadly the academy is flattened. Next they head over to the Bumt Fighters Rest Home and find some old bum fighters from grans old crew. They decide to be proactive and form a new kick ass group of butt kickers called Mabel's Angles.

The team devises a plan to lure the zombie butts into a maggot lair. They strike a deal with the Mutant Maggot Lord and the plan works because Zach uses his previous knowledge from the fortune teller and does the Hokey-Pokey. The Maggot Lord betrays the team and tries to have them killed. But the maggots were zombified from the inside out because of the zombie butts and turns on their leader and the group escapes.

The Great White Bum lands on Earth and takes gran from the group and heads for the brown hole the group chases after and gets sucked into the hole. The hole shoots them out on Uranus right next to Zach's parents. They all fly home to and find a funeral being held for them. Zach receives and award and after excepting in he lets out a big ol fart.

My thoughts.

This book has many qualities that kids would love in a book. But for me the book is too childish. I can only take so much toilet humor. I know the book is fiction but there are so many situations that are so far fetched it's hard to read. My last point of criticism is that I feel that the book is rushed. It has so much build up and it ends so fast.

Any 10 year old boy would love this book, but when your a senior in high school the very thing that makes this book sell sends you overboard.
