The Humor unit consisted of reading several literary works of humor, including The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Rhinocerous by Eugene Ionesco, and Slaughter House-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. In Honors English, we were challenged to write an essay analyzing the works of two humorists. We then worked on the main Humor Project in which we had the creative freedom to come up with a project of our own.
