Humor In Literature

As Robert Provine says in the year 2000, "Another attraction of laughter is its remarkable contagiousness. Think of the last time yous at in an audience, laughing and letting waves of laughter wash over you. A pleasant experience-one of life's best. But consider nwo the primal nature of the animal chorus and the way the members of the audience synchronize their noises. How odd that we can't help laughing when we hear others laugh!"

If you have payed attention to anything in your life you may have noticed the contagiousness of laughter and the effect that it reigns upon the human race. Laughter provides for happiness, and a chance for people to open up in a way that they might not be able to do without the means of laughter. A quote from "Wylie Sypher" can further explain this idea. "However spontaneous it seems, laughter always implies a kind of secret freemasonry, or even complicity, with other laughters, real or imaginary. This quotation further implicates the idea that laughter creates a sense of brotherhood amongst people. Although laughter may have its flaws, the act does a great job in instilling positive meaning into a person. As I just stated, laughter may be used in the wrong ways in order to attempt a personal gain, but it doesn't take a person of much intelligence to realize that laughter does a great job in instilling positive advancements in a person. Laughter does an excellent job in helping two or more people open up to each other in a way they couldnt without it. I personally use laughter and humor in my everyday life to open up to other people, to understand them better, and to also help them understand me better. I feel as though laughter is a free path to greatness, and without it nothing would ever be as good as it could be. Haha forshizzle.
