Speech Comm

201--2nd period

The Epideictic is the rhetorical form of praise or blame, and in modern times has often served to incorporate humor. Write me up a speech that's going to make me laugh...don't put it off. Not all of you are funny.

301--3rd period

Maia, since it's only you left...I can cover everything for the week in 2 days of one on one. Do you care if I make our class a Moday Wednesday affair?

"Bel. What makes you laugh?"

"When Phoebe tickles me," Bel almost answered, but stopped himself because it wasn't seemly for a demon to be ticklish.

"I dunno," he said aloud. "Watching our kittens play, I guess. Or a good joke."

"What's a 'good' joke to you?"

"Umm, I used to say one that made fun of someone weaker than me, but I've turned over a new leaf," Bel said.

"Have you really?" She looks incredulous. "Isn't that usually the source of jokes? Those we can get away with ridiculing?"

Re: 201

"Well, yeah," Bel said, "or ridiculing someone behind their back if they're stronger than you. But, um, I'm trying to be good now."

"Be good all you want. It's human nature to pick on the weak. Not that I'm encouraging that...just do what you know."
