This is not Satire
So this week in class we started a new topic. We started to drift away from the constant pursuit of the American Dream and started to focus on Satire. Satirical writing is like writing with a comedic, ironic, and sarcastic lens to highlight social or political issues in our world. Honestly, I am a little bit worried about this piece of writing. I am already an extremely sarcastic person and use a lot of comedy when I talk, so I am afraid I will use too much sarcasm and effectively make my piece ineffective. I don't want my writing to become a joke, so I will have to have a lot of practice with this theme. So far, I like the pieces of writing we've looked at, and enjoy the lens itself.
I love your concern of being too sarcastic, I feel like it's very relatable for our age group as a whole. I still remember Dr. Dixon telling Ms. Smit that she shouldn't teach us verbal irony in ninth grade because we wouldn't get it and we were all like yeppp.... teens never use verbal irony....
ReplyDeleteI liked how in the title was an attention grabber and sarcasm/irony:) I also liked how you related satire to your own life, and how you can relate to it, because I feel like a lot of the people our age use sarcasm and that is a form of satire!
