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.

Step Four

Step Four: What is the significance of the humor in your novel? 


Your reflection should prove the importance of the humor that includes evidence from the novel. You may want to look into your author's background and his/her style to see how this affected your novel's humor.  This reflection should be written in the same format as your other reflections (intro, body, conclusion, about 2 pages, 12pt, typed, double spaced).

This reflection should be typed separately and NOT posted on the blog.

REFLECTION DUE MAY 16th.  This will count for your essay on the final exam, so it is VERY IMPORTANT!
