A Modest Proposal

The Modest Proposal meets the satire criteria, because he talking how to make a change and help the people but his resolution don't sound that good, because it sounds like he is not taking it serious. Also that he did "research" to come up with idea's that will benefit the mothers and everyone poor. He calls them "modest" that they are humble that how he comes about them but in reality they sounds absurd.

My Big Question

Are we the only life form are there other life forms out in space? And why haven't we had contact with them, but if so we have why is it hidden from the public?

EVERYTHING'S AMAZING

 Louis  CK's said means things that would offend people but he sugar coated and make it sound less mean by adding humor. His message still got out but it wasn't as harsh if he was to say it in a serious tone. Also the tone of his voice and his hand motions he did visual so we could better understand what he was saying add comedy to it. In today people can get away with many things if humor is add, because it funny and not harmful so it wouldn't really mean anything people will just laugh it off. Also that today people aren't to happy with what they have. Even though we have really advance technology that people take for granted. They want more and they already have enough they are greedy, while in some other countries people don't really have that much but they are still grateful for what they have. That even though we accomplish many great things people are still happy with it.

I choose this pictures as examples of satire to show the humor and irony to criticize people stupidity on topics. How these picture mock and show the humor to show us stupid some people think and also to stop us and think about them. They get us thinking like what the meaning and is it really true
