Throughout my modest proposal, there are many variations of satire used, and some are present more than once. Exaggeration is present in the case with the kid and his American History 101 test. The problem of something so miniscule in this world is dragged out to something so devastating that the kid can not get any sleep, his face turned pale and he could not walk right. The same form of satire is used in Becky’s problem relating to her prom pictures of 2017. She is so worried about a zit appearing on her face that she cannot think about anything else, and that thought consumes her brain every second of the day.

Lets say you are flipping through channels on your television and it lands on some marathon on retired cartoons, suddenly you witness what seems like meaningless violence and nasty images. If you have seen Ren and Stimpy in the past you most likely have a schema of the stupidity portrayed by Ren the personified cartoon Chihuahua with serious anger issues along with bad hygiene, and his roommate Stimpy, a good tempered fat blue cat who acts as dumb as he looks. They both experience troubles and handle them in their own ways. Although this show doesn't appear insightful on the surface and usually lacks moral endings, it can reveal perspectives on society that perhaps cant be seen in any other way. (relate with disagreement) It's easy to see

In Jonathan Swift's “The Modest Proposal” he uses certain rhetorical choices like irony, satire comments, and even sarcasm. In paragraph 7 Swift says ‘I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection”. Here Swift is using irony by saying he hopes no one dares to object to him in his “claim”. He also says in paragraph 15 “although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs”. This is another example of irony by explaining how that no one cares for the children so they might as well just burn them alive because apparently nobody would care that much if that was to even happen.
Stanley Kubrick’s Dr Strangelove satirises the cold war and the actions of politicians during times of worldwide fear. The characters General Jack Ripper and Buck Turgidson reflect the drastically absurd political mindset of America in the 1950’s and 60’s. Strangelove satirises the idea of Mutually Assured Destruction- the notion that a country having more nuclear weapons than their enemy and being able to cataclysmically destroy them, brings peace and safety.
The Immodest Proposal Envision you are living in Ireland in 1729, a country full of poverty and desperation. You pick up a pamphlet called “A Modest Proposal” written by a famous author, Jonathan Swift. As you flip through the pages, you come across a bone-chilling proposition; babies of poverty-stricken families will be able to “contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing of many thousands” (2).

Introduction: “If political cartoonists continue to rely on newspapers, we may be in serious trouble. It 's a very transferable form of journalism, though - it works great on Web sites” (Horsey 2009).For many years, political cartoons were used to depict and convey big issues or ideas into small pictures that the reader would understand. It helped people that were not educated to also be aware of the situation. But, these political cartoons only showed one side of a controversy and this created turmoil among the audience. According to David and Williams in Political Cartoon, ' ' The American Presidency,the original political cartoon started in 16th century when Britain released its first caricature.
Cartoons are expected to be, in nature, quaint and dense; something one would not typically associate with politics. Intertwined within their text and illustrations, political cartoons are, at their base, clever, witty jabs taken at various political situations and politicians in order to cause the reader to inflect and take a person stance on the situation. All of these responses simultaneously being accomplished through the behind-the-scenes scope of that the cartoonists who, as a rhetor, will typically look to skew or contort their audience’s view on a certain political subject. It is through this elaborate process of cartoon creation that various elements such as humor and are picked up along the way to help ease down the sometimes harsh content of political cartoons into something pleasing and easy to grasp. In his political cartoon, Steven Breen, compares presidential candidate Donald Trump to a super bug, illustrating the potential danger of his political direction through emphasis of cast, text, and kairotic timing to expertly guide his audience towards questioning how lucrative his leadership would be to our country.

Having natural resources does not determine a country’s destiny, rather it depends on how the people use the resource. For example, Japan and South Korea are poor in resources but they are successful through other means (exporting electronic products). Whereas, the Democratic Republic of Congo has a great advantage of the Congo River, but they are still very poor because they have financial issues and enable to use the resource. Some countries do not have many resources but are also very successful.
“I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it. ”-Frank A. Clark (Psychology Today). A man named Jonathan Swift saw many problems in his government and society.
