Satire Is Wack
My dad often uses a tremendous amount of horatian toward my sister, criticizing her in a joking way that often offends her. She doesn’t understand that he means well by the joking, just trying to make the people around him laugh rather than make her angry; however it never ends up like this. When satire is used in a work, aside from my dad’s bad jokes, people lose the true meaning of the work itself. A satirical author’s message can be misconceived and lost because of misconceptions brought by satire.

The Big Picture: City Life
Highrises. That’s all there is to it. Downtown San Diego is quite the place; so many different personalities it’s hard to find somewhere to start. How about the girl in the pink jacket? She doesn’t look like she lives here. What about that jogger over there? He’s moving way too fast! The group of guys that just came out of the restaurant? Too intimidating. How about we try the lady walking her dog? Perfect.
