Bring on the Satire!!!!!

I must admit that I am completely thrilled that we've started satire in class. It is by farrrr my favorite kind of writing whether it’s dark or lighthearted.  I thoroughly enjoy reading pieces that reflect the vices in society. It is at times nice to know I am not the only one that thinks and feels the way I do. There are very few satirical writings that I've read that I didn't enjoy. I might as well add that Mark Twain is a literature GENIUS. But of course, I am sure that everyone knows that. ;) I've also figured out that modern day satire is just as good as the classic stuff, if not better. The Onion has become a frequent source of entertainment for me; if I didn’t hate writing so much I’d even consider writing for it. I encourage everyone and anyone to visit the site. It’s well worth your time. Another good satirical piece I've read recently was “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift. Enough with the critiquing though, go read satire!!! :D
