Week 2
Satire: This week, we learned about satire and read Vonnegut’s “Harrison Bergeron.”
Satire is a popular form of social critique, as evidenced in late-night talk shows and political cartoons.
For this blog entry, locate a satirical political cartoon online and embed a link to it or attach a file.
Be sure to check your blog so that the cartoon is visible.
Once you have embedded your political cartoon, discuss the satire in both the cartoon you chose and Vonnegut’s short story
