The Age of ReasonThe age of reason happened in mid 1600 threw the 1700's. The age of reason was shaked by puritanism and English the Civil War, The Restoration and The English Enlightenment and Neoclassicism. King Charles believed that he ruled for god on earth came into parliament, parliament believed that they should rule together. The puritans' belief in their own religion which they thought caused the outbreak of the civil war. The brilliant leadership lead to the defeat of the king. ("The Enlightenment")
The circumstances that has now taken place in France of the total abolition of the whole nation and of everything appertaining to compulsive systems of religion, and compulsive articles of faith, has not only precipitated my intention, but rendered a work of this kind exceedingly necessary, lest in the general wreck of superstition, of false systems of government, and false theology, we lose sight of morality, of humanity, and of the theology that is true. All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. ("Age of Reason") |

Political satire of TodayHere is a picture of a women in a fast food restaurant waiting in line with her car on. While she waits she's letting out bad oxygen from her muffler to the clean air, yet she asks the man in the window to not give her a plastic bag with her food so she wont cause global warming.
If she really cared about global warming she would at least try to turn off her car while waiting in line for her food. She did right to ask for no plastic bag but everything else she managed to do wrong. By this lady asking for a plastic bag is a example of dramatic irony with all the things she is doing wrong the last thing for her to do is ask for no plastic bag, it is only common sense. At the end the point of this picture was saying that no matter how much you try to be good to the earth you still end up doing something bad to hurt it, trying to be good and not cause global warming is kind of impossible in out time because everything is bad for our environment unless you don't use a vehicle or anything that let out bad chemical or stop throwing things that ya'll could recycle. |
Final Project:
Attacking Racism using Satire
The theme of the comic is to attack racism, it shows how people don’t appreciate the thing that immigrants do, and that they are only here to take away jobs from the Americans. When in reality they're a big help in our world, they do not take jobs away they take advantage of them because where they're from there is not a lot to offer unlike here in the U.S.
The strip has a condescending sense to show that how some people think that they are a superior race to other. It shows ideal stereotypes that are easily identifiable when referring to race. It also shows that people just judge other people by there race and not by who they really are.
The Caucasian male and female are being exaggerated, because is shows them as lazy obese Americans that don’t appreciate the benefits to allowing immigration when these immigrants do a lot for the country. These Americans rather just ride around in there scooter all day insulting people rather than getting up and actually doing something that benefits them.
The comic displays dramatic irony because the male character is saying how much he despises the immigrants, not knowing how much they actually contribute to the growth of the country.
