    Irony and skepticism often undergo a dual role throughout literature to primarily degrade an opponent’s argument with the intent to support their own. By taking into consideration the weaknesses and insignificant incites of the opponent’s argument an author can successfully lead his audience to perceive the other’s complaint as ridiculous and unnecessary. Through persistent sarcasm and obvious insincerity, a previously sound and cordial argument can appear fallacious. As exemplified in the correspondence between the Coca-Cola company and Grover Press; one may initially assume that Coca-Cola's accusation apprehending the use of their slogan has the ability to confuse consumers, however, the trance evaporates as the sarcastic Grove rebuttal refutes their claims.

    Mrs. Obama is specifically influential due to her heart and compassion for the fate of children everywhere, and the amount of time she gives to help make others’ lives better. For her country, she has greatly decreased the rates of child obesity through all of her movements, and for the world she has increased the amount of girls who are able to earn a good quality education for themselves.
