Laughter in animals

Since I am not confident on what the two-ness of my identity is, I asked some of my friends different questions about what they think of me, and compared their thoughts to what I think of myself. I asked two of my close friends two questions. What they thought of me when they first met me or before they knew me well, and what they think of me now. I asked two of my other friends, who I’m not as close with, what they think of me now, and what they thought about me when we first met. My closest…

One of the most obvious things I think anyone would notice in Oliver’s videos, is his use of humor. He does not just use humorous rhetoric to be funny, but it also gets your attention. When Oliver makes comparisons of serious issues to things that are comical, it makes viewers want to keep watching and even want to agree with him because he comes across as a funny, likable guy who knows what he is talking about. Not only do humorous comparisons make his show entertaining, but they also make what…

"The Mug." He replies in a monotone. Is he concentrating or annoyed with me? Probably both. And even with the awful mood I 'm in, I can 't help feeling a tiny cheer go on in my mind when he answered with that. At least we 're going there. He pulls into the parking lot and parks near the door. I sit in my seat, still buckled, while Blake gets out of the car. I lean my elbow on the door, and rest my head in my hand and close my eyes. What is going on?! Camden screws me over, but maybe he doesn…

“Every African-American is bilingual, all of us, we speak street vernacular and we speak job interview”. The crowd roars with laughter at comedian Dave Chappelle's words. But even as the comedian smirks, there’s something in his face that shows that what he said wasn't entirely a joke. What Dave Chappelle is trying to address here, is something that is controversial and continuously debated by linguists. That is if code-switching, alternating between two or more vernaculars in a conversation, is…

Creative and Critical Thinking Self-reflection Paper POON CHIU LAM 12000625 For me, I am a creative and talkative person.

and those who tried to translate it usually translated literary works. Moreover, the translation of verbally expressed humour on screen is a relatively new issue (Chiaro 2008: 569-570). Vandaele (2010: 149-150) claims that humour is visible through laughter and smile and accordingly the failure of translating humour is visual through lack of laugh or smile. A translator should be aware that humour is group and culture specific thus parodies for example may be funny only to those who have seen…

“Don’t take yourself so seriously, Know when to laugh at yourself, and find a way to laugh at obstacles that inevitably Present themselves” - Halle Berry. This quote to me means that you have to know when to laugh at yourself sometimes. If you mess up don’t be too harsh on yourself instead just laugh it up and overcome those obstacles. I did not know i was going to make this quote a part of my life. It was two summers ago and for my family's vacation we all decided that we should go to Mexico to…

I woke up feeling ashamed and angry on the day of the science fieldtrip. Feeling ashamed and angry, I quickly put on my shirt and headed to the bus. During this time, I became more and more embarrassed. The constant thought of embarrassment caused me to forget a change of clothes and I panicked! The science trip was first period and I couldn’t handle these emotions inside much longer. I kept thinking about the outfit I had on. Why did I wear this? I thought to myself over and over. Once the bus…

Comedy movies are more than just light entertainment on a Saturday afternoon – or a great option for a date night! The funniest movies tend to live on even after the credits have rolled out. They provide us with earworms, quotes we share in funny situations and moves we recreate with our friends. They are even our comfort blankets when times get tough and we need a smile. Comedy is also quite a hard art to master. Whilst there are tons of examples of the times when the jokes just don’t work, we…
