An Introduction to Satire Another way to persuade…

Using humor to persuade… Beyond arguing, there are other ways to write persuasively. For example… Satire: a manner of writing that mixes a critical attitude with wit and humor in an effort to improve mankind and human institutions.

What is a satire? A work that ridicules its subject through the use of techniques such as exaggeration, reversal, incongruity, and/or parody in order to make a comment or criticism about it.

The necessary ingredients… Humor—Satire is funny! Criticism, either general criticism of humanity or human nature or specific criticism of an individual or group. Some kind of moral voice: simply mocking or criticism is not “satire.”
