| Abstract | Satire involves attacking human vice or folly through irony. derision, or wit. Its literary use dates back to the ancient Greeks, who used elements of satire in some of their plays. The Romans, though, are considered the first true satirists. Horace and Juvenal are prominent representatives from this group. Jonathan Swift was one of the greatest English satirists, and one of the first to practice modern journalistic satire. His most famous satirical essay, A Modest Proposal, features the notion that poor parents be encouraged to sell their own children as food. In the twentieth century, Sinclair Lewis, H. L. Mencken, and Tom Wolfe used satire to make perceptive commentaries on American middle-class mores and Aldous Huxley and George Orwell used it to make incisive observations on authoritarian rule. One way to minimize the chance that others will misread your nonverbal cues is to die. Dead people, because of their lack of movement, usually do not confuse the living with their gestures. |
