Parody and Satire

Administrative assistant is another title for secretary.

Satire is any piece of writing that uses devices such as irony, understatement, exaggeration and the like to attempt to correct human vice or folly. It is divided into the funny: Horatian and the contempful: Juvenalien.

You answered your own question "Controlling Man!" Why wouldn't he keep you feeling incompetent of doing things when he knows this is the way he can push your buttons so you'll work harder at doing some of the things he should be doing when you'll do it all for him? Think about it! Nip the in the bud and tell him like it is .... "You start sharing in some of the responsibilities or that's the end of our relationship!" It takes two to have a relationship and the responsibilities that go with them. If you aren't working then you should pay bills, do the shopping, but, if you are both working then he should be sharing some of this with you. Let him pay the bills and you do the shopping.

Sources of dust are many. Some dust is dried skin from the occupants. Dust from outside floats in through all sorts of gaps in the house. Dirt from outside is tracked in. Gas heaters and waterheaters and stoves cause carbon dust. Cooking can create dust. Clothes carry and create lint. Small creaters, dust mites, spiders and other crawlers can be a source. If there are filters in your furnace/air conditioner, you may need to change it. Getting vents cleaned can also help. Dusting used to be considered a daily chore, because it is necessary. You can see the dust very well in the sunlight.Try to only view it in the evening.

some times your cleaning methods don't really pick any dust up, you just have it floating in the air by wiping it and when this dust settles, more dust has joined it. == == == == == ==

Actions that would threaten your physical well being or make it impossible for you to maintain the essentials of basic food, clothes, shelter would all be things that may reasonably be considered unconcionable (sp) because they cause extreme hardship.

Some examples of sadistic humor or actions to avoid include laughing at others' misfortunes, causing harm or distress to others for amusement, or showing a lack of empathy for others' feelings. It is important to be mindful of how our actions and words can impact those around us and to treat others with kindness and respect.

Examples of satire in poetry include Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal," which suggests eating children to solve poverty, and Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock," which parodies aristocratic society. Another example is Dorothy Parker's "Résumé," which mocks the frivolity of relationships and societal expectations.

"Mac Flecknoe" by John Dryden is considered a mock epic because it parodies the grand style and lofty themes of traditional epic poetry by applying them to a trivial, mundane subject. The poem satirizes the pretentiousness and mediocrity of a contemporary poet (Shadwell) by portraying his succession as a king of dullness in a humorous and exaggerated manner, using epic conventions like elaborate descriptions and heroic language.

The Query Adapted by Rob Collins

Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,

Program manuals piled high, and wasted paper on the floor,

Longing for the warmth of bedsheets, still I sat there, doing spreadsheets

For the high and mighty deadbeats whom I do computing for --

For the overpaid executives who left at half past four --

Too important to ignore.

Under orders from the boss to make our profit beat our loss,

I drew old data out of DOS, lured it into Lotus 4--

Skipping sleep and suppertime, working well past eight and nine,

Though I earned no overtime, still I wrestled with the chore.

My career was on the line and a deadline loomed before,

Too important to ignore.

Ah, I know I did not smile as I struggled with the file

Till the data was compiled. Then I latched the A drive's door.

With a weary, quaking hand I invoked the Save command,

When there came a reprimand, implying damage was in store--

A cryptic reprimand with but three options to explore:

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Much I marvelled: the repeating cursor like a heartbeat beating

Glowed beneath the cheating message that the monitor now wore.

Now I glowered, nearly raving, for the PC wasn't saving

The result of all my slaving, for the spreadsheet wouldn't store.

All my work would be for nothing if it came to nothing more

Than Abort, Retry, Ignore?

"What is this?" I barely muttered. "What's this question you have uttered?"

This I stuttered as my floppy fluttered, spun, and spun some more.

"Is my file going to copy? What has happened to my floppy,

To my floppy that you've trapped behind the spinning A drive door?

Answer, damn you!" But the screen displayed the same words as before:

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Visage pale and fingers trembling, slowly toward the keyboard bending,

Hoping for a happy ending, and that all would be restored,

Praying for some guarantee, finally I pressed a key,

But the stubborn VDT displayed the same words as before,

The cathode rays conspired to show the same words as before:

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

No result! So twice as hard, to try and catch the thing off-guard,

I pressed and pressed, but still the same canard appeared, until I swore.

Frantically, in desperation, I pressed keys in combination;

Still I read the incantation, steeped in necromantic lore --

Deadly silent incantation, in the same words as before:

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Fearful, desperate, exhausted, by my own machine accosted,

Knowing now my work was lost, I pushed my papers to the floor.

"Ah, ye gods!" I started screaming, "All is lost! I must be dreaming!"

The computer sat there seeming to enjoy the great furore,

Sat there saying the same saying that it said so oft before:

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

Now I pounded keys pell-mell, pressed CTRL and ALT and DEL,

Shouted "Dammit all to hell!" with imprecations by the score.

But the PC was unbending as my data's life was ending,

my despair past comprehending: All was lost, forevermore!

My epitaph, it seemed, would bear this question at its core:

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

With its query, unabating, that it needs an answer for.

In the morning, when the office opens up, and then the boss comes,

The screen will offer options for an unexpected chore,

For handling that human in a heap upon the floor:

Abort, Retry, Ignore? _

O. Henry was an alcoholic, and he died of cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes and and enlarged heart in June, 1910. He was only 47 years old.

The owl and the pussycat get married by a turkey in Edward Lear's poem, "The Owl and the Pussycat." They then sail away in a pea-green boat to a land where the Bong-tree grows. It is a whimsical and nonsensical tale of love and adventure.

# If you are referring to 288, which begins with "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" than I would have to answer with yes. It is satirical in that she is referring to the "Somebody's" (say, the popular girls in your school, you know how everyone wants to be them) as positively dreary, and that being a "Nobody" is, for lack of better words, where it's at. # Also, the part where she says, "Then there's a pair of us? Don't tell! they'd advertise--you know!" She's ultimately saying, "we're both kinda weird and odd, but don't go around telling people because then they'll make it well known and advertise your weirdness around." Because that of course is what the popular, bitchy girls in your school do, isn't it? Gossip? # Hope this helped! I'm writing an essay on Emily Dickinson at this minute, and I've been searching the web for all sorts of information. Good luck!

Satire is used in works of art and literature, while sarcasm can be created without an artistic outlet

Well it goes like this:

baa-baa black sheep have you an-y wool yes sir yes sir three bags full. One for the mas-ter and one for the dame and one for the litt-le boy who lives down the lane

In "Devil on the Cross" by Ngugi wa Thiong'o, the satire is evident through the portrayal of oppressive systems like capitalism and colonialism, which are criticized through exaggerated and absurd scenarios. Irony is found in the reversal of roles where the oppressed characters display resilience and intelligence, while the oppressors are portrayed as foolish and corrupt, highlighting the absurdity of power dynamics in society.

The notes for "Baa Baa Black Sheep" on alto saxophone are D, D, E, D, G, G, F#, E, E, D, G, G, F#, E, D, D. This melody is typically played in the key of C major.

baa baa black sheep,

have you any wool,

yes sir, yes sir,

three bags full,

one for the master,

one for the dame,

one for the little boy who lives down the lane :)

Satire distinguishes itself as a genre of writing by primarily focusing on one big task: ridiculing the shortcomings of society. Satire often ridicules hypocrisy and established institutions. Authors usually hope that this will bring about change.

Religious conflict had a limited direct influence on the increased popularity of satire as a genre during Swift's era. The key factors that influenced satire's popularity during that time were political corruption, social inequality, and the growing print culture.

Any setting can be satirical if you write satirically. You might write a satire about politics, for example, and set it in your local court house; or write a satire on education set in a school.
