Bell Work: Try to Identify the Tone of the Passage Below I do therefore offer it to public consideration that of the 120,000 Irish children, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed…The remaining hundred thousand may at a year old be offered in sale to persons of quality and fortune throughout the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter. I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Satire in Literature Satire (n): The use of mockery, irony, humor, and/or wit to attack or ridicule something, such as a person, habit, idea, institution, society, or custom that is, or is considered to be, foolish, flawed, or wrong. The aim of satire is, or should be, to improve human institutions and/or humanity. Satire attempts, through humor and laughter, to inspire individuals, institutions, and humankind to improve or to encourage its readers to put pressure on individuals and institutions so that they may be improved for the benefit of all.

¢In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of satire is not primarily humour in itself so much as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit (Wikipedia). ¢Hold up problems in society or in humans using irony, ridicule, and humor in order to offer a critique and bring about change. ¢Irony ¢Exaggeration ¢Understatement ¢Incongruity ¢Reversal ¢Parody ¢http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M- KlV5cPUo
