Presentation transcript:

 A parody is a humorous imitation of a (usually) serious piece of writing.  Often people call it a ‘takeoff’ because the writer borrows the form or the topic of a well-known work and copies it in a funny way.  Also commonly referred to as a ‘spoof.’  The original work can be in any form; everything is an acceptable target for parody.  Something about the re-imagining of the original evokes a humorous response from the reader. Thoughts…

 What is a satire?  The literary technique of ridiculing a human or government action or vice with biting wit, irony, or sarcasm in order to expose or correct it.  The object of satire – known as the butt of the satire – is usually some human frailty; people, institutions, ideas, obsessions, and things are all fair game for satirists.

 The key is that a satire wants to EFFECT CHANGE in the world.  A PARODY simply wants to ‘borrow’ the fame of it’s source and/or make fun of it.  A satire usually achieves this effect by going to an extreme degree of exaggeration (or hyperbole).  If a satirist (one who writes satires) can elicit an emotional response from his or her reader, he can get them to listen to a more reasonable suggestion…

A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift,  I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.  …[children] at a year old, be offered in the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; […] 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.

 The Simpsons – Homer tries to buy a gun. The Simpsons – Homer tries to buy a gun.  Butt of the Satire:  American gun registry laws.  Satire’s Comment:  That while some people feel that America’s gun registry laws are too strict, they are in fact ineffective.

 An Inconvenient Truth – “None Like It Hot!” An Inconvenient Truth – “None Like It Hot!”  Butt of the Satire:  “America’s handsomest politicians…”  Satire’s Comment:  That a cheap, quick fix solution will not solve the problem of global warming.

Butt of the Satire:  We, the people of the western world, specifically those obsessed with popular media. Satire’s Comment:  That in order to make an issue known to the world, it must be presented in a weakly sensational, frivolous way, which is immoral and inhumane.

Butt of the Satire:  People who are critical of video games and the video game industry. Satire’s Comment:  That it is ridiculous to assume that video games alone are responsible for corrupting youth. Parents play a significant role in the upbringing of a child, and if they are allowing their children to play video games without supervision, the fault is their own.
