**Final Reflection** 1. I'm satirizing the idea that people's appearances matter the most in today's society. 2.
 * Allusion: "Honestly, she looks exactly like Shrek."
 * Hyperbole (exaggeration): "She must weigh a ton!"
 * Oxymoron: "A silent scream is echoing through Chloe’s mind."
 * Irony (sarcasm): The main character, who gets discriminated because of her appearance, later decides to get a plastic surgery, just like her mother. The main character's daughter looks exactly like her before the surgery.
 * Understatement: "Anyways, it’s just a zero. It’s not a big deal, Chloe."

3. From my study of satire, I learned how to mock an idea or belief in a very ironic and sarcastic way. Before, I didn't even know what satire meant, but now I know some ways to use it in my writing.

** Satirical Comic Project Proposal ** What do you plan to satirize (idea, organization, person, etc.)? The idea that people’s appearances matter the most, and the discrimination based on this idea

What is the conflict in your story? The main character Chloe, who doesn’t have an attractive appearance, faces many difficulties throughout her lifetime just because of her appearance.

Briefly outline the plot events (bullet points okay)… Childhood:  ·  Chloe always gets teased by her friends · She can’t be part of a ballet dance group because of her appearance  School life:   ·  Chloe doesn’t get into cheerleading, even though she is very talented; instead, someone really pretty gets in  ·  Teachers favor prettier girls and boys with good appearances  -Adulthood:   ·  Chloe can’t get a job, while a beautiful woman does  ·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">When she goes to restaurants or department stores, the workers don’t respect her & think she’s poor ·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">It’s hard for her to date someone <span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">Who are the characters?

State how you will use the following devices (use at least five of the seven listed): Allusion: She was like Shrek, Gollum, and E.T. Hyperbole(exaggeration): she weighs a ton Oxymoron: silent scream Irony (sarcasm): the company she’s applying for states that they give opportunity to anyone who’s passionate, but they choose someone with the good appearance at the end Understatement: the teacher says “it’s just a scratch” when Chloe’s legs are seriously wounded <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Parody Juxtaposition
