Sophomore perspective project
This project was all about perspective! For my topic, I decided to do a comedy project. For English, I wrote a position paper on the benefits and negative effects comedy has on your mental health. For Global studies, I researched Chinese comedy and how it differs from the US. Then, I watched a standup special and compared it to Chinese comedy themes. Finally, for art, I wrote some monologue jokes about a relevant topic to put perspective into comedy. I really wanted to research comedy because it is a very big part of my family and also a big part of what I want to do as a career. I learned a lot about Chinese styles of comedy and how they do not really make fun of political figures like we do in the US, and I also learned about Shanghai style comedy, which is a type of stand up comedy that is popular in China.
