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.

Funny in Farsi Anthony Simenson

This story makes fun of the new student in the class that knows a little english and doesn't understand most of what everyone is telling her. One day her mom went to school with her to see what its like and what to see what she goes though everyday at school. Her parents always do things that make her look funny, and she tries to tell them that, but they don't listen to her. One day during school her teacher asked them where Iran was at on the map, and none of them knew and the teacher pointed at a country and the mom just shook her head yes that is were it is and she just did that to make it look like she knew it all the time she just didn't want anyone else to know.

    I don't understand the humor in the novel from your explanations. You need to explain the type of humor and how your examples showcase the humor.

    This was more of a brief plot summary of the book. You need to provide specific examples of the humor and explain how they show the humor style of your novel.
