inysia [295]1 year ago

The author's choice of words shows society's disregard for the neediest people, which is different from the message about cannibalism that is explicitly described.

<h3>How does the author make the text satire?</h3>
  • He criticizes a social situation.
  • He criticizes in an acidic, but humorous way.
  • He exposes the culprits of the situation.
  • He writes sarcastically and ironically.

A satire is a criticism, made in a subjunctive way, but very acid, violent, and expository, as it shows a serious social problem, its culprits, and the negligent way in which this problem is treated.

In this text, the author shows how cannibalism can be favorable to society, because rich people, who see the poor as social problems, can use them as food and raise them like cattle. That's because rich people are one of the causes of extreme poverty in society, but they don't feel responsible for solving the problem, so it would be better if they consumed the poor.

The author is not defending cannibalism but using this subject to criticize the irresponsibility of high society and the tyrannical and problematic way they act with social problems that do not affect them.
