Topic 1. The N Word

For my essay i still need to brainstorm a lot but i will most likely talk about how the word can be very offensive to people and the how that is, also will compare it to what are some of the words that people use to call me and how do those words make me feel, maybe that way i will have a better understanding for myself how black people feel when others call them names like this. i will also address the topic of why it is important in the book to use the word to make a deeper impact on the readers or to just show the historical time period, and how people viewed black people around them.

My group identified satire as talking about something serious but with a humor and sarcasim. It also has something to do with irony. A good satire is basically making fun of something to make a point, bring attention to something most people dont pay attention to...just to make them think about it.. to show them an exaggertion of the trueth. An example of satire would be The Cobert show where they make fun of polititians even thoght the topics are serious.
