Satire

Why people shouldn't lie. I think that Mark Twain's ''Advice to Youth" has a unique way of getting his point across about the reasons why people shouldn't lie. He is saying to be careful about lying cause you will eventually get caught. Mark Twain is hilarious as he goes on to saying that the young should not lie unless their have practice and experience. He uses Satire because in the article he will say be respectful of someone that is superior to you and he says "If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick".I think it is funny because he is using satire.

This cartoon shows the two women in the back just showing their eyes, The satire part of this cartoon is that the man is Not showing his eyes. You want to know why?He is not showing his eyes because he is a terrorist.

Al Gore:
EARTH—Former vice president Al Gore—who for the past three decades has unsuccessfully attempted to warn humanity of the coming destruction of our planet, only to be mocked and derided by the very people he has tried to save—launched his infant son into space Monday in the faint hope that his only child would reach the safety of another world.

"I tried to warn them, but the Elders of this planet would not listen," said Gore, who in 2000 was nearly banished to a featureless realm of nonexistence for promoting his unpopular message. I think Al Gore is saying that he wanted to inform everyone about the information that he knew before things became worst. "They called me foolish and laughed at my predictions. Yet even now, the Midwest is flooded, the ice caps are melting, and the cities are rocked with tremors, just as I foretold. Fools! Why didn't they heed me before it was too late?"

This article makes fun of Al Gore's behavior about the economy and how he's been trying to warn people about the earth for years. Personally I think that it is not a joke and that people really should start doing something about it, and start listening to Al Gore because he is like one in a million. Meaning here is some one that is really trying to help our nation and in form everyone on what is going on. He has been telling us what we should do and informing us that our nation is in trouble and we should start doing things to help it. Al Gore is Someone who I think really wants to help us and he wants to change the world. This why I think he is one in a million. The meaning of satire is the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
