What is Humor?

For my second blog post questions pertaining to humor and laughter were explored. I interviewed three freshmen students, April, Adam, and Alison to gain their perspective on these questions. Examples of the questions asked are:
What is humor?
What is laughter?
Why do people laugh?
What makes people laugh?
What is the difference between positive and negative humor?
How much of the humor that you are exposed to is negative?

What is Literature and Civilization?

My first blog post of my Literature and Civilization Blog explores three questions that are at the core of this course. These three questions are:
What is literature?
What is civilization?
What should be studied in a class entitled Literature and Civilization?
I interviewed three students in the Honors College at TCU, Abby, Rosemary, and Sara, to see what their responses were to these questions.
