Look at laughter

            
             I love to laugh, and I love to smile. So I wanted to analyze a paper on laughter. I wanted to see what was said about the healthy aspect of it. So to satisfy my hunger for laughter I used the Internet search engine Google. Dr Trisha Macnair wrote the first document that I found. In the research that she did, she found many facts about laughter and how it was good for your health. She also related what other people have researched into her article. There are links to go to for further research, but I stuck with her research. .
             Dr. Trisha seemed as though she is the type of person that would smile as you pass her on the sidewalk. You can tell that she thinks with a smile, talks with a smile, and listens with a smile! I observed this in the first few lines of her document. She feels that she "scores" big when she can make a patient laugh. Dr. Trisha feels that she helps them forget about their troubles and genuinely improved the quality of their life. So her goal is to make people understand that it does not hurt to smile or laugh ok maybe if you laugh too much! .
             When speaking to her patients she wants to understand the healthy side of laughter. She tries to communicate to her patients in an easy to understand language. Her vocabulary that she uses is not over your head; instead it is something that you can relate to. When she starts to talk about the mechanics of laughter you can tell that she is educated in her field of study. The words that she uses are advanced, but she comes back to them to explain. This creates a feeling of being concerned that you understand what is happening when you laugh. It gives the reader a feeling of compassion. She also constantly reminds you how good it is for you to laugh. In the beginning she tells you that you are less likely to have a second heart attack if you experience 30 minutes of laughter. In the middle of her research she tells you that it is great for releasing stress.
