Process+Analysis

This was the funnest essay to write all year. We had read previous process analysis essays that used satire extremely well. Instead of using the techniques to create satire that we had

learned, namely irony and understatements, I used over exaggeration and parenthetical remarks. I also created an extremely informal environment by using "you" along with suggestive

examples and unexpected comparisons. Originally, the essays were to be presented and read aloud. Subsequently, I was able to use my actual tone and inflect words differently to more

effectively illustrate the way I feel about the subject. I wrote the essay under this impression of being able to accentuate my satire by actually presenting and reading aloud my argument.

But since you will be reading the essay, my satire may be missed or misunderstood. This was one of my first attempts at using more complex sentences with independent and dependent

clauses. I found that the more complex sentences I used, the easier it was to explain and connect my ideas. Overall, I learned how to create and use satire more effectively and how to

use complex sentences to better my argument.
