What is Satire?
There are many types of writing styles that people use like rhetorical, synthesis, argument, etc. Satire is one of them, but there's a little bit of a twist to it. Satire has its unique sense if style, when writing in satire the writer’s goal is to criticize real problems happening in the world and make it almost humorous and sarcastic. The only problem with this writing style is the fact that not everybody might catch onto the fact that the article is not actually serious and might get offended. Satire doesn’t necessarily have to be written, videos are also made in representation of a real cause/ problem in the world then turned into a humorous and not serious discussion. This can be an effective method due to the fact that criticism is approached through humor, which can make matters better for people who either didn’t catch on or are approaching the topic very seriously. Yet, satire isn’t entirely humor there are two sides/styles of it: Horatian and Juvenalian. The Horatian style is the one that’s more laid back an approached towith humor, but the Juvenalian is a harsher approach which can cause discomfort with its violence and gory description. Satire isn’t meant for everyone, some like writing in that style and some cannot stand it, and some people enjoy reading pieces in satire and some just completely miss the point or just don’t enjoy it.
