Huck Finn - Intro to Satire

Satire is different from simple comedy because...

• it is serious. 
• it ultimately holds a moral. 
• a lead character dies. 
• it is always printed in a newspaper. 

The satirist's ultimate goal is for his reader to use the information he presents to ...

• try to make the world a better place.
• laugh. 
• cry. 
• draw a conclusion based on facts. 

Parody is when you...

• act something out. 
• write a different story to show the same point. 
• mimic something specifically to comment on it. 
• mimic something in general to comment on it in general.
