Can you think of an example? SATIRE Identify a popular cartoon character and discuss what is satirized in this character (regarding our society). See my example. Ex: Garfield is very egotistical, lazy, and greedy. He shows that our society is self-centered and focused on ourselves, not really caring about others. Also, his attitude revolves around doing as little as possible, which is also reflective of many people who are extremely lazy. Can you think of an example?
