Dissecting the Frog
What you will find within these pages is, firstly, a brief overview of a number of different features and techniques that can commonly be found in humour and how they work (and in some cases, work together). After that, we’ll look at different styles of delivering comedy, as well as some common genres and subgenres that use those styles.
The Great Multimedia Showdown
What we’re going to do together in this text is explore what makes different forms of writing distinct from each other, and what is needed to excel at them. We’ll do this by pitting opposites against each other: long-form and short-form texts, fiction and non- fiction, prose and verse, and texts that are and are not written to be performed. We’ll also compare the merits of serialised and standalone pieces. This can help you more easily narrow down what you, specifically, enjoy most.
