SATIRE

Satire is any kind of writing or speaking or art that ridicules or mocks some weakness in individuals or in society. The main weapon of the satirist is laughter.

When something is presented to us as ridiculous, its flaws comically exaggerated, we have to laugh.

The satirists hope that this laughter is the first step in bringing about change.

Author's Point of View

How does the writer feel about the subject?
"Listen" to the writer's tone.
Look for details that make society seem ridiculous

When you read satire, you must read critically.

Think about whether or not you agree--and why or why not.

Do you agree that everyone should be like everyone else?? Why or why not?

This is your writing assignment..Answer this question.. be sure to give reasons for your opinion.
