AoW Nov. 20

This week, we need to work on humor.  A lot of people struggled with the Onion analysis on Friday, so let's do a little more practice.  I have selected a very short piece--again from The Onion, again it is satire.  Read the article and spend some time in your journal analyzing the strategies used to make the point:

1. Identify the main argument/point
2. Write at least a half page analysis of HOW the satire works--what strategies is the author using to make fun of his/her subject?  How does it relate to the point about real life?

Good luck, do a good job, and enjoy a few laughs!
