21 Proms

                                                             
                                                               Every prom date has a story.

   The prom is supposed to be one of the best nights of your life. The many authors like Libba Bray, Cecily von Zeiger, Holly Black and many others create their own prom stories in a humorous way. Some are triumphs, some are disasters. Towards the end of each story I have noticed that all of the different characters that go to their prom change drastically in a very funny way. My rating for the book is from 1 to 5 if its a 1 or 2 I'd burn it, if its a 4 or a 5 I like it and if its a 3, its decent. I rate this book a 3.5, i feel like each story was the same and wasn't that funny and most of the time there wasn't really anything engaging that made me want to laugh or reflect. Overall it was a decent book, I do recommend it to others because maybe they could understand the humor more.

The Earth, my Butt, and other Big Round things

   Virginia Shreves,15 year old teen that is struggling with major insecurity and plus-size inferiority complex. The Earth, my Butt, and other Big Round things  is an eye opening book about teens struggling with insecurity and their weight. Virginia Shreves, an over weight girl, that lives on the web, snarfs junk food and obeys the "fat girl code of conducts". All of her family are brilliant and slim people, she feels left out of the circle and her mom always keeps rubbing it in how she needs to lose weight and be like all the other "normal" girls at school but Virginia has no friends and considers the "normal" girls to be cruel, and the Shreves are a picture perfect family... until a phone call changes everything.  

      This was a real eye opening book about all the insecure teens out there but overall I rate this book a 3.5 out of 5. I didn't really enjoy it, my rating scale is out of 5 and i gave the book a 3.5 because it wasn't bad but its not worth giving it a 5. Nothing really major has happened. Towards the conclusion of the book there where character changes but there wasn't really an interesting turning point towards the conclusion.

humor assignment essay and reflection

Public school has and always will be archenemies with Private schools. From my stand point, (Natalie), who has been to a public school then gone into a private school, they do not blend well together. I found that it’s because the public school people do not like stuck up snobby rich people witch is a stereotype to private schools. My friends from public school told me that they are just jealous and totally think that their school (Argyle) is way better than Collingwood. I begged to differ. We am not trying to rant about public schools, I think that they are not much different than private schools, it just depends on what public school you go to. Of course there are differences, but we are all normal students, different from each other and how we learn and in this project we will be showing you a humorous parody of that makes fun of or relates to public and private school students. Our video will show all of this in a comedy of ideas and comedy of manners type of humor, I think it is funny because we are trying to exaggerate what we say in our video and make fun of students and their reactions. In our video we are trying to make public school students look bad by exaggerating everything but we don’t actually think that they are bad students that like to dropout, we know that students from public and private are all normal but we have our differences but in our movie we do the exact opposite to enhance the trait of satire.

Creating a humorous video was quite challenging. Challenging in the way that we had to think about what types of things private and public schoolers say.  Natalie has been a public schooler “but that way back in grade 7 which may not seem like a long time ago, but it is hard to remember what we said” says Natalie. We did enjoy the acting, however it did take a lot of editing and redoing to get it perfect. It is very hard to make something humorous and funny, we had lots of fun editing, and making up all the “funny” things we had to day that could relate to our humorous topic. When we first learned about this topic, Natalie and I thought that it was really easy stuff and just straight up funny and we did not know how hard it is to make someone laugh and all the types of humor there are. Overall we loved creating our humorous project and we hope that you all have enjoyed it and found it to be a little funny. 

Third satire

sponge bob

A life under water, it is o normal for a crab to own a restaurant under the sea, a sponge talking to their weird looking faced fishes and a squirrel who lives in a glass bubble, that's  just everyday life underwater! the songe bob  square pants TV show is an example of incongriency, its all made up, exaggerated and not what we expect.

chicken nuggets at the last supper

Chicken nuggets, jelly, and ice scream at the last supper, "Jesus scientists at Jesus College, Cambridge, have been studying Jesus for Christ knows how long, and have uncovered some remarkable new facts about his Last Supper." this article of The Spoof is also an example of in congruency, we expected bread, chicken, wine but apparently they had  "breaded nuggets by the thousand".

second satire

are you addicted to Facebook?

Are you addicted to real relationships? don't you love just getting away from that house, going to talk to real people instead of sitting on that chair all day long "meeting people" and liking comments and pictures. of course if your addicted to Facebook its not like its gonna have impact on you, its only gonna make you better !

You can post ant types of pictures on it and nobody will comment or say judgmental things about it so don't worry, nothing happens on Facebook, your safe and you don't have worry about stalkers. 

If your addicted to Facebook, it is not a bad thing, it wont affect your life in any way, it is just a way of living!

first satire blog post

LG's and LB's, we just love them.. Wen your in middle school, still young but mature enough, we see these little people wondering around the school trying to get to class, not forgetting their high voices and their cute hairdo's. The way they scream across the halways and still play tag at break and yet we are still respectful towards them.  

Us 9th graders we were not like that, we did not wear cute dresses and bright shoes at civvies day. and when they try to talk to us, you think we actually want to stand there and listen? No we just say "your'e so cute" and walk away.. 

9th graders are the rulers of middle school, in a short time we will be in high school and we cant wait to see them come theire first year!

What is Funny?

Everybody has different types of humors. There are many things that I think are funny like T.V show's ; Friends for exapmle, is an old tv show that is very humurous because of their behavior and how they act. Sick minded jokes or low comedy is not that funny to me, I like comedies more because they are well planned out and spuntanious instead sick minded "funny jokes" are just made up by random people who think they are funny. I think that my freinds are funny bcause of the way they act and the things they say most of the time. honestly when my freinds fall i laugh all the time. In my opinion comedians make people laugh all the time but not me because most of the time I don't get the jokes. Lots of funny actions make me laugh especially the America's funniest home video's, were most of the time people get hurt. One of my favorite people that make me laugh is Jenna Marbles, she is by far one the funniest people I know because she talks about funny thigs that happenede to her or gives people advice on how to do things in the funniest way.
