The article was written a couple years before Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister. The Author focuses on Justin’s liberal attitudes, especially regarding a hot topic such as the legalization of marijuana. He comes across as a “hero for the people” type of politician. The author of the article skims over a variety of topics concerning what Justin spoke of in Calgary. It is a very short story, but I think that the writer got his point across on the subject of Trudeau’s progressive views, mainly when it comes to marijuana.

The teenager skulked out of the room. Mom had to stay firm, for it was two hours past curfew and her daughter never called. The punishment was simple: one week without a car.

It was then that her agitated father rose from his slumber, stomped to her room and raised that dreaded one week sentence to a month.
Satire is a literary genre based on criticism of people or society, ridicule and mockery are mixed with humour throughout a work of satire. It usually attacks human frailty, people, ideas and institutions. Through celebrities, advertisements and false integrity, products are made to be more believable and influential to consumers. In this present day, consumers are more likely to purchase a product if they see that a celebrity uses it, or it comes with something free or a very low price compared to similar products. The Onion, a publication devoted to humor and satire, satirizes how products are marketed to consumers, through exaggeration of functionality, scientific data, and medical explanations (diction-large words.)

La Haine, “It’s about a society on its way down, and as it falls it keeps telling itself, so far so good… so far so good… so far so good… it’s not how you fall that matters. It’s how you land.” Beneath the façade of juvenile banter and rowdy misadventures endured by the film’s three main characters, La Haine tells a much deeper story on the complexities of living in the Parisian slums of the 1990’s. The final line of the film above succinctly explains its true message of the numerous ongoing failings of society that occurred before La Haine’s production, during its creation, and long after its release. This is what makes La Haine’s examination of the French political state so fascinating. While it only details a day in the life of three broke
The late seventeenth century was a time of change, a time of ushering out the old and bringing in the new. This was a period of exploring logic and understanding instead of religion to answer one's questions. Otherwise known as the Age of Enlightenment, society was out to seek reason rather than to find all of their answers from the Catholic Church or other faiths. Voltaire's story Candide displays his thoughts on the Enlightenment by mocking the monarch and currency system of a small village. By using satirical language and a taunting tone of voice while speaking of the king's kindness and the villagers' abundance of wealth, Candide demonstrates how new interpretations on nature can be brought about while poking fun at the effects of these changes.

Chaucer: Satire And Humor Until Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the Canterbury Tales, he was primarily know for being the writer of love poems, such as The Parliament of Fowls, narratives of doomed passion, and stories of women wronged by their lovers. These works are nothing short of being breath taking, but they do not posses the raw power that the Canterbury Tales do. This unfinished poem, which is about 17,000 lines, is one of the most brilliant works in all of literature. The poem introduces a group of pilgrims journeying from London to the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket at Canterbury.

Knowing we had failed at obtaining what we came for we watched hopelessly as people were starting to get up, some with consoles in their hands others empty handed but in a beat up looking state. As we walked away from the chaos we talked about how we potentially would’ve turned out if we had gone for the consoles at the same time as everyone else, the older people would for sure not have show any mercy to us. James went to go look for his parents so I did the same and went to the spot where I had planned to meet up with my uncle. After waiting a while I saw him come out with a big TV and 2 tablets so I knew that it at least went well for him while I got my hopes and dreams crushed. On the car ride home I thought about how it would be like playing video games which was what most of my friends played and they always talked about all the fun moments they would have in the games. I thought I would never get to have the experience of playing video games but thought that I would turn out fine since I hadn’t needed them for
