Syntax was kind of interesting. I already knew some what about syntax before hand so the topic overall wasn't too complicated. I was a little surprised by the use of colons for syntax because I was already thought people use colons to be confusing and fancy.
I think the Theories of Comedy made something simple way too complicated. There is no formula to make someone laugh, there might be a repeating pattern or two, but this is something completley abstract. I mean people laughing at the Jackass series and I don't remember any of the theories applying to that.
I did think the theatre of absurd is interesting. In a normal day life situation, we don't make complicated enough decisions to show who we are. The hard decisions we make reflect our character. This is shown with The American Dream, where the toilet that was broken for 2 weeks brought out things from mommy and daddy and grandma that we wouldn't see in a normal working day.
Good Billy, sort of hard to read. I completely agree with you about the theories of comedy, there is no formula or specific way to make someone laugh, it just kind of happens!
ReplyDeletePretty good. I think you may have had a mental beakdown while writing the first paragraph because i dont know what it says. Besides that its a good piece and i particularly like your thoughts on the Theories of Comedy. Pretty good overall except that first paragraph.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on comedy, I especially had an issue with it since I laugh at white guy jokes all the time, the idea that a person cant take a joke about their own belief or race is ridiculous.
