Satire

Before this lesson, I had heard of satire, but I never really understood what it was. Now it all makes sense. I think satire is a very clever way to get your point across, because people will understand what you are trying to say if they can relate to it. In my opinion, it is one of the most effective ways to get your opinions understood. Even though it is one of the easiest ways to get people to understand your ideas, it is one of the hardest things to create. I mean, if I was trying to persuade people to treat the Irish better, I never would have thought of writing that piece about eating babies. You have to be very clever to write satire.

    I agree, and really like your point on how people understand satire because it relates to them. In today’s selfish world, if something doesn’t have to do with them or their life, they don’t listen.
