Satire HELP!!!!?!?!?!?!?

Question

Hey, thanks so much for clicking on my question. I have to write a satire for school and I need some help. I was thinking maybe I'd do it on people who make a big deal when they aren't really hurt, or on politcal correctness, or maybe on the show Survivor, how there are people in third world countries that live like that their whole life and don't win even a dollar. I really don't understand the format of a satire or if any of these ideas are good possibilities. Any other ideas? And could someone help me make an outline and pick an idea. The more help the better. I am TOTALLY LOST!!!! Thank you SOOOO much in advance!!!

Answer 1

Answer 2

A good place for inspiration is if you watch The Colbert Report at 8:30pm and/or 11:00 on Comedy Central.

Answer 3

Hi,

In America satire is not well understood. I think your teacher may be testing you here!

It is the art of taking the obvious and turning it into the the ridiculous by altering just a few words.

You could describe it to your teacher as "the union of sarcasm and irony, and more subtle than either" .

Go on! Then we'll see who's the smart ***!

Answer 4

i like the third worl country one, but you should make it about someone complaining LOADS about something really vain, like the electricity went of and she had to wait ten minutes to straigten hair and show people ho live withpout electricty, hope this helps, im not to sure what a satire is myself!!
