I learned during this unit about the different types of satire, how they are used, and examples of the different kinds to expand my knowledge on the subject of “satire.” They’re are six major forms of satire, reversal, horation, parody, Incongruity, Exaggeration, and Juvenalian. An example I was able to watch was a video about an Alexa made for old people. They exaggerated the hearing and memory of the elderly. They did this by having actors of old people pretending to forget everything, talk on and on about random things, and forgetting every detail of their everyday lives, and then showing the Alexa helping them. This was an example of exaggeration (a form of satire).
For my activity I chose to have a lip sync battle with my younger sister, which is who I was quarantined with. This activity was actually horatian, exaggeration, parody, incongruity, and reversal all in one video. It was a lot of fun, We were forced to be creative and loosen up.
