 * Final Reflection**

1. Briefly state what you are satirizing in your Satirical Comic Project:

"One must always follow their parent's footsteps."

2. Quote or explain how you used at least five of the seven following literary devices in your Satirical Comic Project: 3. Reflection
 * Allusion "Cain and Abel" [biblical allusion]
 * Hyperbole (exaggeration) [the murder done by both the father and son]
 * Oxymoron "a great biblical failure"
 * Irony (sarcasm) [how the father talks about Cain and Abel, and the son ends up murdering his brother for the same reason.]
 * Parody
 * Understatement
 * Juxtaposition [the father and son hurting a female, the same way]
 * What have you learned from your study of satire, including Candide and the Satirical Comic Project?
 * From my study of satire, I learned that satire is easier and stronger to express using extreme examples. I have also realized that to make a stronger satire, using a literary device is very effective, although it may be a comic form. Although this project took a long time and great amount of effort, i think that expressing the satire was one of the hardest tasks of this project of all. It may have been easier using words, but this was a new way to create a story, and I had fun with it.**

 * Satirical Comic Project Proposal

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

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

I am going to satirize the idea that, one has to follow their parent's footsteps.


 * What is the conﬂict in your story?**

The protagonist of my story is a little kid. He has horrible parents, but grows following the parent's wrong choices. For example, the boy sees his father beat his mother up while drunk, and when the boy grows older, he does the same to his girlfriend in his high school years. Many things such as this occur, and to give the sotry a strong ending, the little innocent boy will later realize his child becoming exactly like him.


 * Brieﬂy outline the plot events (bullet points okay)…**

-little kid is innocent child -sees his mom getting abused by dad -same thing happens when he becomes older with his girlfriend -boy witnesses his dad murdering his co-worker to get a higher wage. -boy kills brother to become the only son -boy is into depression frequently -seems to match up with the mother -later realizes that his child is going through the same life as him.


 * Who are the characters? (a limited number is a good idea)**

-little innocent boy, who later turns corrupt<?> -mother -father -girlfriend


 * State how you will use the following devices (use at least ﬁve of the seven listed):

Allusion**

the little boy murders his brother out of jealousy, like Cain from god. [biblical allusion]


 * Hyperbole (exaggeration)**

I am going to exaggerate the "bad" things the parents do in front of their child.


 * Oxymoron**

To live a happy life, one must follow their parent's horrible lifestyle.


 * Irony (sarcasm)**

the boy is going to be taught to respect his elders and parents to become happy. the boy says that he did respect them, and he does have a happy life.. but he's committing suicide.


 * Parody**

Juxtaposition.**
 * Understatement

The boy is not happy, but he still follows his parent's path.
