What makes us laugh? Or, all we need to do is smile?
This week we are looking at comedy, or you can try tragic comedy if you want; try to keep it within your experience base if possible. Indeed, no pressure; have
fun because comedy is so hard, I think, way harder than tragedy. What’s funny?
As always, your story for this assignment is no more than a creative, imaginative, and critical thinking exercise! So take your time, be free, and share your
perspective on what’s funny! I am sitting here, and I cannot think of one funny thing!
Try to create a story that feels relevant to your idea of comedy. For example, some people say an audience is likelier to learn from a good comedy because it
catches us off-guard. Well, that’s not funny, but it means you can think from your perspective of what needs to be shared or spoken. Your Spine of the story!
To make us laugh? Teach us something? It is totally up to you!
Please write from your perspective or a character’s perspective. It should be 300 words.
