In my opinion, I think satire is like someone is being sarcasm, or someone using words, which have an opposite meaning of its really mean. I'm not sure that's the right explanation, but this is what I think the word satire is.
For example, I says "How nice!" when I have a LOT of homework to finish during the weekend.
This example shows satire because I'm joking about it, instead of going to the movie and have fun, I have to do my homework during my free time.
The word satire can have a lot of meanings. For example, the article that we read last Tuesday about "Kim Jim Young," the writer using the words: "Chinaman","Asianfication" which, i believe, are satire. So, Satire can have many meanings; it depends on how they use it.

ReplyDeleteor somebody...!i also think that the article did show a little bit of satire by saying the words.."Chinaman"and Asianfication"..but at the same time there was not a lot of satire in the article.
I totaly agree with your definition of satire and think you made great examples
ReplyDeleteit is sooooo nice when i have to spend my whole weekend doing homework. it is definitely my favorite thing to do ever.
ReplyDeleteyou are right, satire is about sarcasm, humor, sometimes ridiculizing someone or something, and i also read that satire is meant to be funny,and the purpose of satire is not primarily humour but it is like an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves. I also think that the mail we read last class was a satire, because they are ridiculizing a person, and they are using offensive words.
