Satirical speech on unemployment benefits
Satirical speech on unemployment benefits.
Satirize a serious social problem (unemployment benefits) by using irony, hyperbole, and understatement to stress the importance of dealing with it. Write a short speech (150-200 words) using these techniques to propose a satirical solution to it.
Also turn in a short reflection. You should address these points:
· What satirical devices did you use? (Exaggeration, understatement, etc.)
· What argument did you appear to make?
· What argument were you actually making? What do you actually want your reader to think as they conclude listening to your speech?
