Cat Video Analysis: Humor Breaks

Decent Essays
The reason why Mr. Hagan wanted us to watch that video because the article in it stated that humor can be used to increase effectiveness by double. The idea in it was that by giving yourself a humor break, you are able to completely restart yourself and work better. I personally agreed with it and thought that it was one-hundred percent accurate. Which after watching that cat video is why I am feeling a lot more productive than I was before. I really thought that a study on this was really necessary because it would prove to teachers all across the United State and more that these short breaks of humor really affect our productivity in the class work that we do every single day. I am really glad that Mr. Hagan was able to do this, because

    Have you ever seen the movie Cats and Dogs? The cats are the villians and the dogs are the good ones in the movie. Now, there's a reason why the cats are the villians, it's because their charateristics resemble a typical villian in a movie. Cats are selfish and most are unfriendly depending on their moods- but dogs on the other hand are more approachable.

Listening to Rick Bragg talking about Southern identity and self-image was a pleasant experience. Besides, his delivering skills were very good and able to catch the audience attention. Indeed, it is not just the funny experiences he told that day, but also how he told them which made the whole speech a worthwhile one. Therefore, it is pertinent to analyze the strengths and the weaknesses of Bragg’s speech to learn from the good techniques he applied and to understand the weaknesses.…

    Morgan’s narrative in her piece approaches death, something that traditional taxidermy avoids. This is so that the death of the taxidermied animal is not in the forefront of the viewer’s mind. Instead, traditional taxidermists, such as Akeley and Potter, approach life through lively content and visuals. Potter approaches human qualities of life through anthropomorphic kittens lined up for a wedding, an event that humans consider the “beginning of a new life.” His diorama “The Kitten Wedding,” is an anthropomorphic scene of a kitten wedding; a bride and groom stand toward one end of the rectangular diorama as a pastor stands in front of them watching the groom place a gold band around the bride’s finger (paw).…

    With consistent ridicule and humor, Saturday Night Live attempts to shed light on current societal topics in hopes of influencing a change. On February 14, 2016, in their forty-first season, Saturday Night Live aired an episode with a skit titled “The Day Beyoncé Turned Black.” Rob Klein and Bryan H.

    “But hardly had he succeeded in regaining a straight face than he glanced again, as if involuntarily, at Razumikhin, and broke down once more: the smothered laughter burst out all the more uncontrollably for the powerful restraint he had put on it before” (Dostoevsky 210). In an attempt to maintain his facade of an innocent man, Raskolnikov intentionally laughs at Razumikhin as they approach Porfiry’s door. Fearful that Porfiry will deceive him, Raskolnikov presents himself as a carefree man to dissolve any of Porfiry’s impressions. The calculated “involuntary” glances he shares with Razumikhin reveal the extent to which he can play the role of an innocent man (Dostoevsky 210).…
