Answer:

"Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" is a narrative essay published in Goines's book, The Free Speech Movement. This essay describes Goines's personal strategy for avoiding the draft during the Vietnam war. He sent letters stating he is not a rabi or any religious figure, he is not currently enrolled in a four-year university, nor is he the sole proprietor for his family. All of which would be more of a reason to enlist. However, sure enough, they "lost" his mailing address and he no longer received any letters for the draft. The satire Goines uses is somewhat of comedic relief. The situation is very dark, and it is unfair that he managed to avoid the draft but others had no choice but to enlist, so it is understandable if someone would be disgruntled in this situation. Satire is normally used for comedic effect - to mock - and may not be put in the appropriate situation; however, as someone who uses humor to cope, it is understandable and humorous when satire is used.
