The Satire Of Mockery

The first technique of satire used in mockery. Mockery is making fun of a particular thing. Mockery is used in the quote, “What has happened to our conviction? Where are the limbs out on which we once walked? Have they been, like, chopped down with the rest of the rain forest? Or do we have, like, nothing to say? Has society become so, like, totally . . . I mean absolutely . . . You know?” The author is trying to make fun of the current generation by saying that they're conviction was cut down with the trees and the rainforest. This is mockery because the current generation is a major supporter of stopping the killing of the rainforest. It also shows, again, how they use like and whatever every other word.
