    This video effectively conveys its message. It is clear what the argument is and an assortment of evidence and techniques that successfully supports the points made and expands on them. There is no shadow thesis to read between. The message is given in a satirical video but is still clear and simple if you understand satire and if not, it’s clear what Pendleton is trying to express - give people homes and you end homelessness. Lloyd Pendleton delivers this message factually with information to back up his claims (evidence throughout the video not just him talking) and is a seemingly trustworthy man as he is the director of the homeless task force.…

    Satire is an important element in writing. It’s a way for writers to take a step back and comment on something; to show how ridiculous it is without just flat out saying it. Satire is usually used as a fun way of pointing out the faults in society and current events. The Other Paris by Mavis Gallant was written in 1956, barely a decade after World War 2 finished, the world was rebuilding and marriage was seen as a safe option, a way to move forward and start a life together. The main character of The Other Paris, Carol thinks of marriage as a security blanket rather than a lifelong commitment to the one you love, she accepts a proposal from a man named Howard, a man she hadn’t even known for three weeks…simply because she assumes that nobody…

    Over the semester we have read a lot of short stories, the four that stuck out to me the most were Saboteur, Where have you been, Where are you going?, and Barbi- Q. Each story is has its own reflection like what I learned about myself, what I learned about other people, and what I learned about the world. What I learned about myself in Saboteur was not to let people get under my skin like Mr. Chiu let the cops under his skin when they threw the hot soup at him. You have to be the better person and not try and make a point because in the end you may not even get your point across just because the other people might be better than you.…

    In Pamela Petty’s The Baby and the Bathwater: A Tale of Standards and Storytelling, she made the argument that the practice of storytelling needs to play a more integral part in today’s education system. According to Petty, the process of telling stories helps students retain knowledge and learn course material through the use of interesting tales not found in textbooks or through the use of technology. By using storytelling in different forms (music, poems, books, oral stories, etc.), educators can aid students in learning material using a teaching technique that has been used throughout history with successful results (Petty 2016). I really enjoyed Petty’s article and she voiced similar sentiments that I myself have felt about the modern…

    Satire In Brave New World

    • 982 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…

    Citizens, countrymen, folk of the land, the United States of America has created the strongest people the world has ever seen, second to none in all aspects of daily living. America has become the shiny beacon of light across the infinite black sea of ignorance. As a fellow countrymen I hear nay-Sayers speak of my own in only the highest of jests, in which we are cowards, they insult, without knowledge of remembering first the world policing policies America stands by! And to this I say, let’s make them right. It’s only fair, for America has been the super power in which all other nations stand up against and conform to, all others must bend to our whim and do as is told.…

    One ominous morning of 2008 I woke up to a saddened atmosphere. I look around at my parents, who are hardcore republicans, and asked them what was wrong. They said that they had lost the election. My eight year old self replied that they never won because they never ran, and of course they explained that their party lost the run for presidency. For the years to come every time I would look at the news and see a little “R” next to a person name I would know that they are the “good guys”.…
