 * Final Reflection**

1. Briefly state what you are satirizing in your Satirical Comic Project: I satirized the idea that newspapers always exaggerate. 2. Quote or explain how you used at least five of the seven following literary devices in your Satirical Comic Project: 3. Reflection
 * Allusion
 * Hyperbole (exaggeration): "Journalists are addicted to hyperbole and exaggerate everything and turn it into big news."
 * Oxymoron: the title "The Wrong Truth"
 * Irony (sarcasm): "It is bizarre how people know that they are not true, but still believe as if they were true."
 * Parody: I parodied an article on two Korean actors.
 * Understatement
 * Juxtaposition: The characters' expression after looking at the newspaper article.
 * What have you learned from your study of satire, including Candide and the Satirical Comic Project?

I learned that satire and parody are two different things. A satire is to criticize something or someone with a certain purpose and a point. A parody is just making fun of something or someone without a point.

Satirical Comic Project Proposal Directions: Complete the following questions – short answers are acceptable. Please get approval from Mr. Stephens before beginning your project.

Media- news
 * What do you plan to satirize (idea, organization, person, etc.)?**

Media such as newspapers tend to exaggerate every little thing and turn it into a big scandal. Sometimes it creates lots of conflict because of exaggerated news. Many celebrities are effected by these kinds of news. Also, the news gives wrong information.
 * What is the conflict in your story?**

- One famous celebrity went out to dinner with her old friend that’s a guy - while they were having a great time, a paparazzi takes a picture of them - he goes back to his newspaper company and writes an article - the next day, the article is published everywhere..internet and newspapers - the celebrity and her friend are greatly affected, having to clarify the misunderstanding - unfortunately, the celebrity had to retire from working for the media
 * Brieﬂy outline the plot events (bullet points okay)…**

celebrity friend paparazzi/journalist news reporter

Hyperbole (exaggeration): newspapers exaggerate and give false information about EVERYTHING that is going on in the world
