Satirical Comic Project Proposal

Final Reflection 1. Briefly state what you are satirizing in your Satirical Comic Project: I'm satirizing media's negative effect on teens, especially on girls, who are very aware of their fashionable appearances.

2. Quote or explain how you used at least five of the seven following literary devices in your Satirical Comic Project: Allusion: I wish I looked more like her (Vogue cover model)! Hyperbole (exaggeration): I should be on a deadly diet. My hair is so silky that a fly is going to come off of my head! Oxymoron: luxury frugality Irony (sarcasm) Parody Understatement: It's fine. I think being anorexic is nothing serious. Juxtaposition
