Satire is the use the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticizepeople's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporarypolitics and other topical issues.
After watching the simpsons episode, i found that there was a lot of satire on education and why teachers who actually get paid take it more seriously.

Dear Mailei,
I would like to persuade you to be involved in Veterans rights .
The greatest obstacles to this happening would be that veterans aren't being treated the way their supposed to be.
I am also worried about the way veteran patients are being treated in hospitals.
What do you think of the Disabled Veterans Tax?
Thank You for your help.

Sincerely,
Cindy Rodriguez

After watching the presentations I think that the one I liked the most was Kat, Michelles, and Sebastians because it was funny, but it had a lot of detail. They also used the board behind them to write out Important words that they wanted to emphazise in.

13 ways to look at the crucible

1.The chaos of the town Salem
The blinded religious government
led to the murders of 19 innocents
2. The innocent spiritual dancing
the psychotic break down of Abby
the possessive attitude that had everyone under her power
3. Proctors biggest mistake of committing adultery
led to the accusing of Elizabeth
pride is what cause his execution
4. Marys fear of execution
caused a false confession
which then caused the murder of an innocent
5. Religious government show its weakness
cases like these are not based on opinion but evidence
there fear of burning in hell is what holds them back
6. Giles's innocent comment of his wife
hits a different point in the courts head
being crushed under stones is what he is left as
7. Parris's money and reputation is his main concern
greed leads him to be disliked in Salem
His lie's lead him to safeness
8. Tibutas concern for the girls
leads to whippings and scars on her back
disgrace and shame is what she earns
9. Elizabeths love for Proctor is big
no confessions no accusations
she supports him in his final decision
10.Hale's great knowledge of witch craft
leads to the guilt of his decisions
he feels like ashamed of ever listening to those who accused
11. The saint people of the town
the most respected and honored
are thanked with execution
12. Innocent little girls
follow Abigail's demand out of fear
blaming other people may be the way out
13. Mary Warrens making of the doll
was a special gift for Elizabeth
that later on led to her husbands death
