Most of the shaggy dog stories I really did not understand the Joke so wouldnt be able give examples or explain it.

Story 2 

1. The story is direct I just didnt know what maitre'd meant until I looked it up which means head waiter.

2. The listener needs to pay close attention to the story in order to understand the ending. Panda shoots the customers but the word shoot actually has a different meaning.

3. I thought this story was straightforward so I dont think a spoken is form necessary unless you read it more sarcastically it makes it funnier.

4.  It depends on who is the joke teller because they probably have to telling in a certain way in order for people to understand it because reading the joke is more easier to understand.

Story 3 

1. The story is also straightforward 

2. The whole point of the joke is to understand that frayed knot means afraid not in order to understand the end of the joke.

3. The bartender knows it is the string but the string disguises itself as a bow but the string answers him by saying "frayed knot"

4. The relationship between the joke and the joke teller is very important for them to emphasizes the part of "frayed knot".

The kind of writing studies research I’m interested in working on is topics like with bilingual education or immigration. I want to somehow relate both topics because there is an increase of immigrant students in U.S every day and I believe that it is important for schools to prepare themselves for the arrival of students from different countries or backgrounds. I want to learn about how immigrant students adapt to American schools because it is a big transition for them. I also want to research if there is increase of bilingual teachers because that is what I’m majoring in and I really don’t hear much about my major. I'm still trying to think where can I start because I like both topics very much.
