Satire

  Satire is a literary term used with humor, exaggeration, irony or being ridiculous in the sense to expose or criticize other people's bad actions. We use satire to correct a person's action. I remember a time in which my friends and I decided to have a girl's night out and go out to a nice fancy club on the summer time the temperature was beautiful. We were enjoying each others company, we were outgoing and we also shared our laughter in between a random guy pop out of the blue and asked one of my friends to dance. My friend and I stood by our self and started to dance with each other, we were being really silly at the time we didn't care who saw us and what they were saying, we were just being our self around everyone else. At the end of the night we were satirical and were also mimicking each other and how my friend felt nervous around the guy that asked her to dance, and the way we were dancing with each other. We didn't really care if anyone saw us acting ridiculous in the club what matters was that we had fun. We may act satire without even being aware of it.

You worked very hard on the paper for English class, and then get a very low grade (like a D or even a D-). All because you are the world's worst speller. Proofreading your papers  is a matter of the most importance thing you would have to do before handing it in to the teacher especially when its going to be graded. Even though Taylor did some spell checker, for the person who is reading his paper, it really doesn't make any sense. so its always good and important to proofread any form of writing before handing it in or publishing it. From my personal experiences plenty of times when I misspelled a word , it will not show any mistakes so I will continue to write without noticing. Finally when is time to proofread my work I will then notice all my mistakes and fix it. Now, if I did not proof read my work I would have turned in a horrible paper, and failed.
