So, no one has posted yet, which confuses me...but I heard we had to do this from period 3, so here goes.
On p.21, there is personification -"serpents of smoke"
Page 22 -metaphor--all that elephant talk -sentences all ending in the same way "like one another" (no idea what this is called) -contradictions "blah blah blah BUT blah blah blah" -parison--"fact, fact, fact, everywhere in the..."
Page 23 -didactic--"...Amen" -rhetorical question
Didn't finish but I'm just confused as to if we really have to do this.
I worked with mostly Phil on this, and also Elyse and the other Julia.
In the first paragraph, Dickens refers to the story as a "tune." Coketown is the keynote. In music, the keynote sets the tone for the entire piece. Therefore, the following descriptions of Coketown, in which all the parts of it move like machines, set the tone for the story.
We had a lot of the same devices as Sam, but something interesting we found was all the talk about churches. All of the churches are built very plainly, according to fact, almost as if they were temples or shrines of Fact as opposed to Christianity. Then at the end of the paragraph, Dickens adds in "Amen."
Clearly the entire passage is very satirical. Dickens asks a rhetorical question to mock the fact that all of Coketown is a giant machine and a shrine to Fact.
So last thing we were working on was literary devices in chapter 5, so some of those were: Simile -- Pg 21. The "unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage." referring to the colors of the town Pg 21. "The steam engine worked monotonously up and down like the head of an elephant in a state of melancholy madness."
Ploce -- Pg 22. "The McChoakumchild school was all fact, and the school of design was all fact, and..." This is a continuation of frases all ending in "all fact" putting emphasis on McChoakumchild's philosophy and Gradgrinds.
Also, when I was working with Zoe and Liz, we thought that the title of the fifth chapter "The Keynote" was a metaphor for Coketown.
Elements of satire: 1. Elements of society or an institution are criticized 2. Humorous, sarcastic, or ironic tone 3. Exaggeration 4. Challenges social norms 5. Challenges stereotypes 6. Uses characters as symbols for classes or institutions
Hello :) Elements of satire: - Hyperbole - Anaphora, repetition - Addressing the readers - Switching POV - Irony (dramatic and otherwise), humor, sarcasm -I don't know if there's a term for this, but I think sometimes an element is including very current details that only make sense during a certain week, month, or year (for example, some articles from The Onion written last year might not make sense now) - Obvious symbols, allusions, representations

- Humor and wit (but not always) - Often misunderstood - Employs stereotypes in order to make a point - Understatement - Exaggeration - Criticism - Parallelism (which easily compares two different stereotypes to criticize society and make a point)
1. sarcasm 2. irony 3. criticism of society or some institution 4. meant to expose flaws and effect change 5. meant to be so exaggerated that it's humorous 6. witty 7. written for the purpose of changing that which it is mocking 8. tries to alert the reader to shortcomings in their lives that they may not have acknowledged before.
- Exaggeration/ Hyperbole - Witty and Humorous - Can be for social or political purposes - To establish the narrator's opinions on a subject Ex. "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. Swift uses satire by hyperbole. He suggests that adults eat children to survive in Ireland to show his resentment towards the Irish. - Usage of stereotypes - Irony - Repetition to beat the reader over the head with a certain idea via symbols
Characteristics of satire... 1. Irony - verbal, dramatic, situational. The most effective type when it comes to satire, i believe, is dramatic, so that the reader gets the satire while the characters continue to be disillusioned (which is so much fun!). 2. Hyperbole and understatement. Hyperbole will make satire easy to find and understand, and understatement will make satire hard to find and understand. Used together, these antithetical elements are fantastically useful in creating different layers of satire. 3. Rhetorical questions and asides. I'm lumping these together because I believe they share similar purposes: to connect with the reader and to get the reader to trust the writer, which I find to be essential for satire. Satire is a tricky business, and connection and trust in the writer is necessary for translating the work's political/social/economical commentary.
1) Ironically enough, satires discuss probably the most serious subject matter through humor 2)long, out-of-breath sentences, anaphora (Hard Times and Candide) 3)it is usually a contemporary critique 4) hyperbole, often "over-agreeing" with the side the author is critiquing, to make that side seem ridiculous 5)unconventional metaphors 6)outrageous events (Candide) 7)inflamed, pompous dialogue 8)*** the "innocent" narrator, who on the surface seems to be blinded to what is going on, but will drop obvious hints; may praise who they are satirizing 9)deliberate euphemisms 10) representative names 11) a large cast of characters, to represent society 12) a character in the novel who will voice the opinion of the author 13) several despicable characters 14) naive but lovable characters...generally in a satire, the hero is flawed in some endearing but tragic way. The hero usually isn't totally perfect because a satire isn't supposed to be an actual epic but more of a mock-epic 15) many allusions, you sometimes get a monsterload of footnotes
-A criticism of a social issue through the use of: -humor -allusions -metaphor -irony -sarcasm -hyperbole/exaggeration -the use of situations that we do not see in everyday life but demonstrate the issue that the author is pointing out
Satire plays an essential role in Dicken's novel. It manifests itself in many ways, including:
allusions metaphor irony and dramatic irony elements of humor hyperbole repition Often features a character, like Sissy, who makes many valuable insights into social issues but is turned down by those around her. anaphora
Though Dickens utilizes a number of literary devices, not all of them are unique to satire.
The use of rhetorical questions can be extremely effective to stop the readers and force them to consider important issues.
Satire -critical of something, makes something appear ridiculous -Has to be comical -often connected with irony -hyperbole is often a method of conveying satire -Sarcasm is also sometimes used -understatement is often used -Some type of change in the narration as occurs in Hard Times is often used to convey satire
1. sarcasm 2. bitter and acerbic humor 3. irony 4. parody 5. mockery 6. obvious hints for resentment for society 7. purpose of satire is to scorn and deride the wrongs of society
satire: -sarcasm -exaggeration/hyperbole -irony -an object/idea/person/event/etc. that the writer is poking fun at -challenges society's standards and ideals -allusions -irony -humor -ridicule
