What is Satire? A literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule

Exaggeration O To enlarge, increase, or represent something beyond normal bounds so that it becomes ridiculous and its faults can be seen.

Incongruity O To present things that are out of place or are absurd in relation to its surroundings.

Reversal O To present the opposite of the normal order (e.g., the order of events, hierarchical order).

Parody O To imitate the techniques and/or style of some person, place, or thing.

Irony O a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually stated.

Paradox O a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth

Antithesis O Opposition, contrast

Colloquialism O A word or phrase appropriate to conversation and other informal situations O “He was well born, as the saying is, and that’s worth as much in a man as it is in a horse…” (Twain 95).

Anticlimax O A noticeable or ludicrous descent from loft ideas or expressions to commonplace remarks O We were amused by the anticlimax of the company’s motto: “For god, for country, and for Acme Gasworks.”

Evaluating Satire: It must contain O Humor: satire without humor is mere criticism O Attack: satire without attack is mere comedy O Suitability: satire of an undeserving object is mean or just plain dumb

Evaluating Satire: It must contain O Clarity: satire that does not clearly present its argument is not effective O Efficacy: is it effective? Satire that does not change or unnerve an audience does not succeed as satire.

You must discuss the evaluation techniques with each example. O MLA Format O Works Cited - You must include when and where the piece was published, etc. O DUE DATE: Thurs. 12/12/13
