I chose my social problem of racial discrimination on foreigners because a lot of my friends are from other nations outside of the United States and I find it very disrespectful and rude to crack jokes on different minorities just because they aren't American born citizens. My argument on this topic is that, once you become a citizen of the United States, there should be no reason to why you don't deserve the same respect of any other American. The audience I'm addressing include those born in any other nation outside of America. The audience of my satire would include those from Mexican descent because I think they known most what its like to be discriminated. The media I chose was my own opinion because I felt that it was something I could speak on most because it is apart of my everyday life. My satire is effective because it gives countless examples of how hard working these foreign citizens are. I used onomatopoeia- "ZOOM" , Simile- "EWW it tastes like the bottom of a rats foot" Hyperbole- They don't even take care of their own children.

In the packet of Silent but Violent, there are many showings that this story is a satire. It is a Satire because in the story, the boy is trying to be serious by taking a girl on the date but the girl turns out to be the one who messes it up when it was least expected. In the story, the author uses onomatopoeia when he says " SQUEEZE " to describe the noise he makes when farting. When the author says " I blaze through red lights and stop signs " he uses a metaphor. When the author says " Oh, its strong and refried stinky " he used an hyperbole because it was an overstatement when he include " refried stinky "
In the article High School Students Demand Wars In Easier-To-Find Big Countries this was another example of a satire because it was showing how students don't know much about other nations in a funny, sarcastic way. When they said " Back then they only had wars in, like, Germany and England " it was an example of a hyperbole because it showed an overstatement. When he said " Can't we fight in, like, Italy ? Its boat shaped. " It was an example of a simile because he used "like" within his statement. " Foreigners are so lazy. They come to our country to mow our lawns we don't really feel like doing. They come and don't do anything useful other than fix roofs from hail damage, work on old Chevy's, the list can go on for all their "work." I can't stand these people! I wished they'd all just go away back to their boring lives in South America or Mexico. I would just do the work myself but I don't really feel like it most days. These people can't even COOK A DECENT DISH! For example there chefs cant make, refried beans, nachos, decent salsa, and delicious enchilada, or even creamy dips of cheese! Eww they taste like the bottom of a rats foot! They all make me sick! They don't even take care of their own children. They can always find the time to babysit our own though. They think working a day, afternoon, and night job will satisfy their kids needs. Like c'mon now they can do way better than that for Christ sake. I say they all do us an awesome favor and just all leave America and never come back ever again. The faster we get rid of these people the better life in the U.S.A will become. Ship them all out of here like ZOOM!
This is a satire because it shows that many foreigners from different countries are actually really hard working citizens of America and should be more respected in our society and not looked down upon. Also racial slurs towards the foreign community should come to an end as well. These are people too and they can do anything any basic American born man or women can do. In the section of my book One Last Shot by: Mitchell Kruger, Michael Jordan is making his comeback with the Washington Wizard. He is going into his eighteenth NBA season and everybody is counting him out. Many of Michael's previous rivals didn't believe he had anything left in the tank to succeed. My at age 40 at this point carry's his team on his back in search for a playoff spot towards the NBA Finals. I love this book so much. I understand the history and legacy of Michael Jordan and it fascinated me to read this book about his life in the NBA. So far, I've made it to page 54 and Michael is making a statement to the NBA fans that he still has a lot of gas in the tank and hasn't slowed down at all. This section is showing Michaels true confidence within himself. At this point in Michaels life he isn't as aggressive on the court from his prime days. Everything Jordan lacked in points made were valuable teaching lessons to a very young Wizards team. The Wizards are fighting for playoff contention and are 1.5 games out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Michael and his team are grinding out every game and it is putting some wear and tear on him. The Wizards allow Michael to take some games off to rest up. I hope to read more of this book very soon.
