humorous (as defined by Webster)
Using a standard five-paragraph essay as your outline, create an introduction that highlights the features of humor. Create your next three paragraphs by using examples of literary characters that display such traits of humor. Complete your essay with an enlightening conclusion. |

That sounds like a really poor way for your teacher to ask for a literary essay... Everything I'm doing is more specific (A theme in "book" about this character, for explain).
Try finding some books that you like with funny characters, (literary ones, if possible) and use them to cite your ideas. Are humorous characters used to lighten the mood? Or is it important to the plot? Does it help bring in other readers, or turn them off? Why might an author use a humorous characters? Are there some traits shared among the characters you chose? |
