    Part One: Tomi Lahren uses “SOB” when referring to Mohammad Abdulazeez‚ which is a euphemism. This type of language creates misunderstanding for the audience. I had never heard “SOB” before and had to google it‚ she used it to cover up her saying a bad word. Instead of using that she should’ve just not called Mohammad Abdulazeez anything.

    Plainly speaking‚ satire is by far one of my personal favorite genres of a play or production. Satire is defined as‚ “the use of humor‚ irony‚ exaggeration‚ or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices‚ particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.” Shakespeare was one of the best writers when it came to using satire in his plays.
