The Waltz

1) The  changes in her mood creates, humor because she can't decide what to do and how two act and react. 2) It can illuminate how people can have different thoughts about you or their surroundings rather than their actions.  As well as the other person and how they feel about you.

Twain's Humor

11)The main idea of the Prefatory is how Mark Twain comes up with his ideas for his books, combining his life experiences with his imagination. 2) " I presently found that I could not live on   that alone without occasional bread to wash it down with)" This example is humorous because it reminds me that i used eat a lot of bread! 3)They both talk about how  weird and funny idea's can make a story funny, such as how Mark talks about how the story is filled with a lot of adventures and then chapter 42 talks about how he needs to have bread with him, even though the humor is irreverent it is somehow still funny.  4)Mark uses incongruity in his story and old broken down English which then makes it funny. 

How to Build a Joke!

1)Yes I do think some jokes and actions are a intentional act of trying to make a person or people laugh. Yes, I have come upon this notion before, in fact I have done it myself.(The article) 2) It is intentional because both of them know the joke and the point of the joke, however one is acting like he doesn't  the other person is saying and his actions and response makes it funny. Well, if actions and tone of voice count as well as interacting with the audience in a humorous way count. (The Video)
