(Hint: it’s not that the new iPhone is taller) • How did the author get their point across?

  4. Irony • The use of words that mean the opposite of what you really think especially in order to be funny. • A situation that is strange or funny because things happen in a way that seems to be the opposite of what was expected. Merriam-webster.com

  11. My Definition of Satire • Using humor, irony, and and/or sarcasm to show the ridiculousness of a person, thing, or idea by imitating it, or by pretending to praise it through exaggerations in order to reveal the author’s true view on the subject. With a partner or 2, create your own definition of satire
