SATIRE*A work that ridicules its subject, through the use of specific techniques. Although satire is usually witty, and often very funny, the purpose of satire is not 'just' humor but criticism of an individual or a group.
.
4 TECHNIQUES OF SATIRE*1) Exaggeration:
To represent something beyond normal bounds so that it becomes ridiculous and its faults can be seen.
2) Incongruity:
To present things that are out of place or are absurd in relation to their surroundings.
3) Reversal:
To present the opposite of the normal order.
4) Parody:To imitate the techniques / style of some person, place, or thing in order to ridicule the original.
For parody to be successful, the reader must know the original text that is being ridiculed.

AF DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Each new slide will have new discussion questions (totaling four questions).
Person one writes down the answers their group members provide then signs their own name under what they wrote.
Pass the paper to your left and begin discussing the next question.
DISCUSSION QUESTION 1.
Discuss Boxer. What role does he play on the farm?
Why does Napoleon seem to feel threatened by him?
In what ways might one view the betrayal of Boxer as an alternative climax of the novel (if we consider Napoleon’s banishment of Snowball as the true climax)?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 2.
Paying particular attention to the character of Squealer, how is language used as an instrument of social control?
How do the pigs rewrite history?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 3.
Do you think Animal Farm’s message would come across effectively to someone who knows nothing about Soviet history or the conflict between Stalin and Trotsky?
What might such a reader make of the story?
DISCUSSION QUESTION 4.
Of all of the characters in Animal Farm, are there any who seem to represent the point of view of the author?
Which of the animals or people do you think come(s) closest to achieving Orwell’s perspective on Animal Farm?
