Satire is the use of humor, exaggeration and irony to express human vices or foolishness. It is often used in the political arena or as a way to criticize government policy. There are two main types of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian.

  • Horatian satire is more tolerant and humorous; its main purpose is to amuse. Juvenalian tends to be more serious.
  • Horatian satire tends to be more witty.
  • Juvenalian satire focuses on personal anger, and attacks vices such as hypocrisy and corruption.
  • The language in a Juvenalian satire, while funny, can also be bitter and pessimistic.

Two works that are well-known examples of satire are:

  • "The R a p e of the Lock" by Alexander Pope. This is an example of Horatian satire. This narrative poem tells the story of a woman who gets a lock of hair stolen from her. However, the story is told as a Greek epic, contrasting the absurdity of the event with its exaggerated style. It is humorous, while slightly critical of the social behaviour of the upper classes.
  • "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satire that argues that the problems of Irish poverty would be solved if Irish parents sold their children as food for the rich classes. The language is a lot more poignant and reprobatory, and its hidden message is one of indignation. It is an example of a Juvenalian satire.

If the writer’s opinions are not objective, the source:
m_a_m_a [10]

If the writer’s opinion is not objective, it mostly means that the source is biased. Objectivity is very important aspect of any writing. If the readers perceive that the writer is being biased, they probably will undergo selective perception and chose one thing from the piece and omit the other. It is very important that the writer writes in a way that the reader goes through the entire piece and retains as much about the piece as possible. It can only be done by writing objectively.

Which statement from FDR's speeches uses parallel structure?
Zolol [24]
I'd say that the statement from FDR's speeches that uses parallel structure is C. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.
Both of these independent clauses use the passive form of the verb - in the first clause, the passive form of the verb <em>to sink </em>is used, and in the second, of the verb <em>to destroy.
</em>A parallel structure means that throughout a sentence, the same form of words is used, and given that here both sentences have passive forms, I'd say C is the correct answer.<em>
