celebrates Elizabeth Bennet’s laughter. Casal justly describes how Elizabeth’s laughter in the novel equates to flirtation and eroticism. However, if flirtation and eroticism were the only significance for the role of laughter in the novel, the status of Elizabeth Bennet would then be reduced from being Austen’s heroine of Pride and Prejudice to being a sex object. Elizabeth’s laughter is different: it creates a sense of breaking off relations with others. Elizabeth’s laughter also represents…
Elizabeth Foley once said, “The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.” It is true to say that every one of us has to have some friends, especially the best ones. It is also true for me, I have two best friends, they are Tony and Ken. We all come from the same country and live in the same city. Furthermore, we were in the same grade growing up and having the same hobbies had brought us together and soon we became best friends. Although…

to be a zoo. Decades ago. More than half a century ago before this place was even thought of, before I was even thought of, or you. My parents used to amble around it, gawking at exotic snakes and monkeys of all sorts. You know what their favorite animal was, out of all that were preserved here all those years ago—I know it seems like eons for you...hmm?” President McGinty stared at Peyton, his eyes bloodshot and the dark bags under his them hanging. Peyton shrugged. “They liked the…
surrounding me started peeking out from behind their doors and their parents’ legs wondering who that white girl was. Slowly, they all came out and started kicking around a water bottle, the Haitian soccer ball. I jumped into the game and the children’s laughter was all I could hear. The girl that was holding my hand a few minutes earlier started calling out, “Mwen mama! Mwen mama.” I thought she was calling for her real mother, but she ran up to me and tugged on the end of my shirt. “Mwen…
Friday finally came and it was my fourth day of Kindergarten and I was loving it. I walked into the classroom expecting thing to be no different than they had been the past days. I sat in my seat and patiently waited for Taylor to arrive so that I could tell her about my plans for the weekend. Still waiting and she never showed up. I began to feel and very empty feeling in my stomach like I just had been punched. Taylor wasn’t coming to school and I didn’t know how I was going to get through the…
Comedy is an artform that puts a monetary value on our elation and delight. It is often easy to forget that art must run as a business and comedy is no exception.

In the brave new world of stand-up, it would be tough to run a club of this nature. Moreover, it would be even harder if that club caters to a predominantly African-American crowd. In this paper, I will argue…
Thesis: My thesis started as: Sarah’s laughter is the only reasonable response to Yahweh. After wrestling with the scripture and current events my new thesis is: Sarah’s laughter thrust her out of the tent and into the center of God’s promise for descendants. Straight white males in power need to consider this birth narrative, listen to the laughter of others, and move out of the center of the story. Begin at Home: As a clown I deal in the business of laughter. I have worked professionally…
