The Study of the Relationship Introduction A relationship? Something meaningful? Forever? HA! All ploys and devious schemes devised by horifically cruel creatures, in order to have their every wish granted for all of eternity. These terms were created to destroy our lives, they were created by the most evil and demented of all creatures, The Female. Ask any boyfriend, or should I say "slave", and they will tell you that the Female is a very mean creature that gets her every way without any questions. They turn us into their servants and force us into a permanent relationship, or a permanent "slavery", as I prefer to call it. Step One: Scouting Their Prey The First thing you need to remember about these...things, is that they always, without exeption, travel in packs. So remember that when aproaching one of them. Back to the point at hand. When in the proper habitat that these Females inhabit, stay cautious, as they seem to sometimes pounce upon their prey, and ask you to preform something that you are currently incapable of (example: asking you to dance). These manuvers are used to make you semi-embaressed, and thus would do anything to regain your higher status, no matter how long it takes you. Thus they have control before any plans are even made. Step Two: Pulling Out The Whip After the initial request made by the male generally, thye begin to start a "relationship", or so it is called. By this time you are already stuck with her, and all of your friends...

With his use of a sarcastic tone and metaphor, Swift emphasizes his satirical stance on the treatment of the Irish. Swift later changes his tone to one of more compassion through his use of empathetic diction and italics. His multiple tones and different stylistic choices convey to the audience that the Irish are in desperate need of compassion and assistance from the English government.
Throughout history and in current times, Benjamin Franklin has been greatly revered and admired by a large majority of American citizens. In the attempt to achieve prosperity, a multitude of people have strived to emulate Franklin’s lifestyle. Accordingly, this emulation was the source of Mark Twain’s disdain toward Benjamin Franklin, which Twain expresses in his satire, “The Late Benjamin Franklin.” Correspondingly, in “The Late Benjamin Franklin,” Mark Twain displays hostility toward Benjamin Franklin through the utilization of a derisive and mocking tone as well as the elements of satire. The ridicule and degradation of Franklin that is displayed in Twain’s satire highlights Twain’s belief that Franklin’s accomplishments are exaggerated upon, placing unrealistic expectations on all males, including Twain.
Satire is customarily discussed as “humor critiquing current political or social issues. For example, the Oxford English Dictionary defines satire as the type of derisive humor or irony; mocking wit; sarcasm especially employed against something perceived as foolish or immoral.” While the Oxford English Dictionary’s emphasis on humor calls attention to the mockery of these issues, it does not present the consequences of certain actions. In the Onion article titled “Underfunded Schools Forced to Cut Past Tense From Language Programs” and The Simpsons episode “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish, satire also addresses the effects of certain decisions on society. Attending to the consequences of the actions or decisions that are being satirized allows us to see how satire can help us come to
Gus:“You named your fake detective agency ‘Psych’? As in ‘got you’? Why didn't you just call it ‘Hey, we're fooling you and the police department; hope we don't make a mistake and somebody dies because of it.’" Shawn: “First of all, Gus, that name is entirely too long; it would never fit on the window. And secondly, the best way you convince people you're not lying to them is to tell them you are!” (“Psych (TV Series)”). One of the greatest comforts is comedy and its amazing ability to palliate tragic situations. This comedic comfort is seen in the American comedy series, Psych, that airs on USA Network. In this series, a man named Shawn Spencer (portrayed by James Roday) acts as a maven in solving crimes alongside his partner, Burton Guster
Many people tend to use humor as a positive communication skill to make us laugh. It has long been used as a tool to navigate how we better understand media and politics. In today's crucial times of political chaos, social unrest and in-fighting between political parties, the use of Satire humor is more relevant than ever before. According to Oxford dictionary, satire is defined as the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. In the last decade there has been a staunch increase in technology and a rise in social media, this comes with its own benefits and downfalls. The use of satire humor has been represented
The essay “A Modest Proposal” written by Johnathan Swift takes a satirical view on how to solve the starvation issue in Ireland. Swift suggests an obviously satirical solution of eating children around the age of one. He used irony, ambiguity, and ethos to emphasize the satirical nature of the essay and present a captivating idea to the audience.
Marilyn Monroe once said, “...it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” This applies to my life in pretty much everything I do, because I would much rather have people notice me (even if they don’t like what they see) than be just another face in the crowd. Even if someone hates me, at least it means that they respect me enough to see that there’s something worth hating. It’s much easier to enjoy life when I’m not trying far too hard not to seem ridiculous.
Mad Magazine, The Simpsons, Saturday Night Live. In our society, satire is among the most prevalent of comedic forms. This was not always true, for before the 18th century, satire was not a fully developed form. Satire, however, rose out of necessity; writers and artists needed a way to ambiguously criticize their governments, their churches, and their aristocrats. By the 18th century, satire was hugely popular. Satire as an art form has its roots in the classics, especially in the Roman Horace's Satires. Satire as it was originally proposed was a form of literature using sarcasm, irony, and wit, to bring about a change in society, but in the eighteenth century Voltaire, Jonathan Swift and William Hogarth expanded satire to include politics, as well as art. The political climate of the time was one of tension. Any criticism of government would bring harsh punishments, sometimes exile or death. In order to voice opinions without fear of punishment, malcontented writers turned to Satire. Voltaire's Candide and Swift's Modest Proposal are two examples of this new genre. By creating a fictional world modeled after the world he hated, Voltaire was able to attack scientists, and theologians with impunity. Jonathan Swift created many fictional worlds in his great work, Gulliver's Travels, where he constantly drew parallels to the English government.
“Morreall argues that, if we want to answer these questions, we shouldn’t focus on whether the joke happens to trade on a stereotype. Instead, he takes the primary problem with some humor to be that it involves disengaging from things with which we ought to be engaged.” (Morreall, 529)
We all know what it is like to be pressured into a relationship. Okay, maybe we don not ALL know what it is like, but most of the general dating population has had this experience. It works in this way: your friend Susan comes to you and tells you that your other friend Jim likes you, you never really thought about Jim in this way—but begin to think that there could be a little chemistry there. Susan loves playing matchmaker. She is persistent and will not stop until she gets what she wants. In the end, you wind up going on a few dates with Jim, but the relationship never really blossoms. This scenario sounds a little like the story about the forced relationship of Troilus and Criseyde, by Pandarus, in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde. The only difference between my real life scenario and the relationship of Troilus and Criseyde is that when Criseyde finally falls for Troilus, which alleviates his ‘lovesickness’, she leaves him for another man. And, although Susan was persistent, she never stood in the bedroom when you and Jim ‘turned off the lights.’
In the satires of Juvenal, it seems all matters of life are susceptible to his anger and bitter sense of humor, and food is not an exception. Even the Roman cena is full of social and political commentary from the way a dinner invitation is sent, to how the tables and couches are arranged in a cubiculum, and what elements create the perfect meal that solidifies the social hierarchy of the host. Through examining the carnal language and the meanings behind the descriptions of the various delicacies and scraps that are highlighted in his satires, this paper sets out to analyze how Juvenal uses the language and theme of food and its use in creating dominance and power in Satires five and eleven.
Relationships have both positive and negative effects on a person. Relationships consist of many factors: trust, communication, honesty, love, and last but not least, respect. As important as all these factors are, you need respect, trust, and love to make the relationship bloom. However, in some relationships, there can be a lack of both respect and trust. The lack of either can lead to dangerous behavior, nevertheless, can be referred to as domestic violence, but remember, abuse is not always physical. Emotional abuse happens and sometimes, the emotional abuse is worse.
