How is satire an effective form of criticism?

English
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
5 0
<span>satire: the combination of humor and criticism to point out human follies
</span>  <span>It's so effective because it takes whatever it is criticizing to a point that you have to laugh and proves the truth of the criticism. Effective satire has to be based on "truth" - the characteristics satirized have to be there, exaggerated but there. 

Example: "You might be from Wisconsin if you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 38 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by."</span>

Read the excerpt from "Lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." The children live in communities surrounded by the grape fields t
koban [17]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

The children live in communities surrounded by the grape fields that employ their parents. The children come into contact with the poisons when they play outside, when they drink the water, and when they hug their parents returning from the fields. . . .

We have no choice, we must stop the plague of pesticides.

How do the examples in this passage best support Chavez's purpose?

A)They show the types of difficult labor that farm workers do so that people will stand up for them.

B)They show the hardships that farm workers experience so that people will act to protect them.

C)They show the harmful role that pesticides play in communities so that people will try to improve them.

D) They show how the dangers of pesticides are spread so that people will work to get rid of them.

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) They show how the dangers of pesticides are spread so that people will work to get rid of them.

Explanation:

This excerpt tries to show how dangerous pesticides are and that they have to get rid of that pest as soon as possible.

As people work in the grape fields, communities form around them. They are inhabited by children who are in constant danger since they have pesticides on everything around them. On the water, on their parents, on the air they breathe.

This is something that must be stopped immediately, and so we can say that the correct answer is option D.
