The topic of my essay was “Anti-Humor”, which is often considered to be a part of comedy and is frequently used by comedians for the purpose of plying their trade. In my essay however, what I have done (I believe) is teach an audience that may be unfamiliar with Anti-Humor as a whole both the importance of the genre and the fact that it is not technically comedy because it lacks comedy’s main element, humor.

Over the course of my essay drafting, I have come to learn how to better use language to reach the audience and to do so more concisely. I have also worked on improving my treatment of the audience a bit (in the beginning I was referring to certain people unfamiliar with the genre as “unwitting saps”, which I realize might not go over well from a communication standpoint.
I have also learned to get the point across at the right times which has helped me to better organize within each paragraph which has improved the structure of the paper. I still need to work on my proofreading and revising however, as I have missed some obvious grammar errors that I must be able to catch before each final paper.
