If you were fortunate enough to make it into Mrs. Blacks Honors 10th Grade English class, then I advise you pay very close attention. Sometime this year, you will be assigned an essay that requires you to write a piece of satire. You don’t know what satire is? Good, that means you still have time. Listen closely, Mrs. Black is going to set you up for a trap. She will assign you a research paper, seeming to give you plenty of time on it. But, being the foolish high schooler that you are, you’re going to wait until the very last weekend to do it. And that’s when she hits you, with a second essay. The Satire Essay, or as I like to call it, Let’s Ruin Winter Break. If you wish to survive this grade-crushing phenomenon, then follow my instructions very closely.
The first essay that I mentioned earlier is about historical examples of culture. You will be given several days for research, but who’s really …show more content…
Sadly, not for you. Although all of your other classes have graciously given you no homework over this extended break, Mrs. Black did not follow this trend. You are now required to complete your essay over Winter Break, with it ready to turn in the week you come back. It doesn’t seem so bad at first; you have two whole weeks of not doing anything that you could totally spend on making a decent essay. Of course we have Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve, New Year 's Day, parties, hanging out with friends, spending time with family, carolling, and vacations going on as well, but pay no heed to that. You have two whole weeks to do your essay! It 's like Christmas came early! Of course this gift is going to be wasted until the Sunday before Winter Break ends, when you realise that after all the parties and revelry, you never did your homework. Shame on you, forgetful high schooler. Shame on you. Luckily you have mastered the art of prognostication and can quickly type up your satire essay the night before, as
