What is a common purpose of satire?

English
1 answer:
Anna11 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Satire is a genre of literature and performing arts, usually fiction and less frequently in non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.

In the space provided, compare and contrast the moral of “The Bundle of Sticks” to the moral of “Hofus the Stonecutter”. Use det
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

On the one hand, the moral of The Bundle of Sticks, reflects on the idea that "union makes strength": when each of the sons tried to break the entire bundle of sticks, no one was able to do it. Therefore, the dying father tells them: "untie the bundle and each of you take a stick", so the sons were finally able to break the sticks, by breaking them individually, but in the end, through the union of the brother's forces, altogether.

On the other hand, the moral of "Hofus the stonecutter", refers to how people unecessarily want to be superior in hierarchy in society. The tale shows how a stonecutter always wishes to become someone or something superior than him, for instance, when he sees that the cloud is stronger than the sun (when he was the sun), so he wishes to be "the storm". But in the end, he realizes the stonecutter was the strongest of all.

n200080 [17]

"Sagacity" refers to the ability of a person to make sound judgement. It is similar to wisdom. In this case, it refers to the self-reliance of Yorkshire men.

"To bestow" is to present something as a gift. It is often used as a synonym of "to confer" (an honor, an award). The word here refers to reluctance of Yorkshire men to offer assistance to others.

This info came from down below, also sorry this is years late.
