Satire Literary technique in which behaviors or institutions are ridiculed for the purpose of improving society. Work or manner that blends a censorious attitude with humor and wit for improving human institutions or humanity. What sets satire apart from other forms of social and political protest is HUMOR.

Or as one wise professor once told me… You laugh to keep from crying

Common Satirical Targets Wealth Politics Writers Hypocrisy Corruption Urban Congestion Arrogance Greed Vanity Stupidity

Irony Verbal and situational irony are often used for emphasis in the assertion of a truth. Situational - character/reader expects one thing, but something else happens Verbal - when a writer/character expects one thing, but means another TECHNIQUES: hyperbole, understatement, sarcasm

Consider this… What are examples of satire that you know in your life today? What is the purpose of satire? Is is effective? Why do authors use it? How is it better than just stating what is wrong with society?
