be hilarious. But we don't laugh every time we double-check to make sure the house doors are locked, or when we compulsively check our phones for text messages or “likes” on Facebookl at 2 A.M., even when we know no one is sending us anything. Most jokes, in fact, are antithetical to this theory since they don't depend on any kind of monotony of behavior. Puns are easy examples: "Emailis the happy medium between male and female." —…

Reading through the first few chapters of Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, I can already tell a lot about the Dead family; one big thing that I noticed is that Macon Dead is very skeptical about African Americans, despite the fact that he is African American as well. Macon Dead was born into a poor family and had to work his way up to where he is currently in the book. Although Macon Dead has been through it, and knows what it is like to be poor, he does not give sympathy for those who are not…

King Arthur time period. There were a few themes in medieval literature that had been mocked in the movie compared to the real stories. For one theme, the English were made to look like buffoons or horrible people. Serious situations were turned into jokes in the movie as well. Ideals such as beauty and bravery were tested in the movie compared to the book. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was made to completely make fun of the real issues that had occurred way earlier. One theme that had been…

At one point Maher says that "oldie jokes are fine," but even in when done in a joking manner, what negative…

Before the collaborative group was established, I did a mini self-reflection where I focused on what skills would be good to make the project the best it can be. Skills that I deemed important included dedication to academics, passionate about theater, information on both the technical and performing side of the stage, creative thinking, and respective of other people’s ideas. Having a dedication to academics and passionate about theater will ensure that the members of the group would be…

If you ask me whether or not I like children, my answer, given grudgingly, would always be yes. That’s not to say I have any particular dislike for them, but an hour of trying to teach them what the number 11 is when they try to count on their fingers can only be described as incredibly tiring. “Come on you guys, 11 is not the number 1”, I told them gently. It would have been another mind-numbing hour had one of the fellow student-helpers not suggested I use blocks instead. We made immediate…

lottery. The characters joke about the lottery at the beginning of the story. This is one of the reasons the reader would expect the lottery to have a pleasant ending. For example, “‘Get up there, Bill,’ Mrs. Hutchinson said, and the people near her laughed.” In this quote Tessie Hutchinson is making a joke as her…
