Thanks! See you!Discussion1. What’s behind fun?
Not all humour is kind. Although we also laugh when we see someone slide on a banana skin, it’s really dangerous to those who slide on the banana skin, especially to those old people. So when we think about it we will find it’s not funny.2. Why did people like The Little Tramp?
Because it gives people courage to overcome difficulties.
3. Do you think Chaplin’s eating boiled shoes funny? Why?
Yes. Because he made the terrible situation “real” for his audience. .
