Discuss the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor in terms of humor.

by

Write a 500–750-word essay. Be sure to employ a thesis and usesupporting evidence from the text itself in your essay response. You may paraphrase from thetext and also quote from the text. I very much prefer you do not use outside sources to indicatewhat critics have said; instead, discuss the works giving your thoughts and your opinion .When you quote from the text in our anthology, you do not need to give the page number. If youemploy ideas from outside sources, you must indicate the sources (to avoid plagiarism).Double-space your essay, use Times New Roman or Arial font, size 12, Discuss the works of William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor in terms of humor. In doing so, you might find it helpful to come up with a definition of humor. Write not only what is funny, but how something is [made] funny. Draw from at least one story by Faulkner that was assigned and one story by O’Connor that was assigned. You can draw from all four stories if you wish. As always, write a thesis-driven essay with textual support that is helped along by your imagination and analysis. The easy part in reading this essay question–but also important :-)–is to know to write about one story by Faulkner we read and one story by O’Connor. The difficulty comes in discussing humor. While most people can recognize humor, various forms exist, and many authors have a dark (a kind of grim) sense of humor. I would definitely Google “dark humor.” But I would also look up Henri Bergson, whose work on humor has been very influential. You will learn, for example, that one way by which humor is derived is through exaggeration. And so on. This is all to say that find a workable definition or definitions and when you discuss humor in two stories total (one for each author) use the definitions of humor to not only point out humor but to explain also why and how something is funny. Remember: Humor is subjective and not all people find the same kind of humor to be funny. Barn Burning- William FaulknerThe Life You Save May Be Your Own- Flannery O’Connor
