SATIRE: TOPICS

criticized? • Keep in mind this could be on the international,

national, regional, or local level.

• Pick ONE topic on which you want to focus. • Figure out what your specific criticism is.

SATIRE: DISGUISE • What would be the best way to disguise your criticism? • Consider disguises that reflect your opinion (like the pigs

in Animal Farm reflecting Orwell’s distaste for political leaders) but are not too obvious. • Remember to potentially disguise the location,

characters, events, plot etc. • You could emulate a seemingly innocent genre, like

Orwell does, or mimic a well-known “formula” if it works for your purposes.
