In "The the impotence of proofreading" by Taylor Mali the satire of the story is how to spell without having to use spell check because a person that doesn't know how to spell can't tell whether or not it's the correct spelling. My reaction to this story is it was funny and hard to read with all the misspelled words, but I understand it's just to prove a point.
I read a article called "NASA Completes 52 Year Mission To Find, Kill GOD" This story is bogus and fake because it said the astronauts were scared to go out to the moon because god would punish them for entering neutral grounds. It also said the astronauts grew up their whole life trying to find and kill god.
In "Advice To Youth" by Mark Twain there were many examples of satire. For example when he said if a person ever offends you, you have the right to think if it was intentional or not, if it is then wait your chance and hit him with a brick. This was all said after the fact he said respect your parents, friends and even strangers. Another one is when he says if were going to lie then make sure its a good one because if not then were going to get caught and after you get caught for lying no one will believe you anymore, he suppose to be giving youth good advice and he pretty much giving us the okay of lying and hurting people as long as we don't get caught.
In the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, JR there were many examples of satire in it. For example when he said everyone was equal in every type of way. From looks to intelligence and even to god and the law, this is impossible because if this was to be true then there would be no point in anything because we would be just like everyone else. No one would be special or unique.
In "NEWSHOGGERS" by Cernig the satire of the article is that a British resident was looked as a terrorist because he got on a fake website called "How To Build A H Bomb" the only people who took this serious was the C.I.A. they should had known the website wasn't a real one.
The satire of the political cartoon I chose was of Bush talking bout his battle scar from the war and he asked does anyone see it, it had him pointing to his head! My guess is because he made a lot of horrible decision's and was probably the worst president in the history of presidency.
I've learned many things about satire, I learned that it is a nice and humourous way to expose a person weakness without them taking it the wrong way.
