    LIFE OR IRONY? Symbolism is utilized throughout literature‚ poetry‚ and life to take readers on a journey. Symbolism allows the reader to take the story beyond the written word. The reader is given the opportunity to process‚ ponder‚ and ultimately interpret meanings not always openly portrayed by the writer. Symbols or symbolism within a work can be both easy and difficult to determine. Stories usually can have one or several symbols. “The Story of an Hour” written by Kate Chopin‚ is a

    Have you ever seen Jay Leno or Mad TV over exaggerate or mock the society? If you’re up late enough and have‚ then‚ you probably encountered the works of satire. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn uses a great deal of satire. The author‚ Mark Twain‚ uses satire against religion‚ government‚ and society in general.

Big Brother can serve as a metaphorical representation of many things‚ God‚ totalitarianism‚ Stalin and other historical figures‚ or simply as a form of control. This illustrates Orwell’s ability to critique organisations through

    Mr. Swifts proposal is vial. It does have it’s moments where it makes sense but for the most part‚ it’s ridiculous. I understand it’s meant to be satirical but it might be taking things too far. Cannibalism isn’t exact the thing you joke about. He’s proposing children be eaten to keep people from dying of starvation. But cannibalism is illegal and wrong. You’re voluntarily killing and eating humans because you’re hungry. There are other ways to solve world hunger. This proposal is disgusting.
