The Conscience of a Hacker

              In the essay, I liked how the writer puts out his mind onto what a "hacker" can do. He says it himself that he's a hacker. The writer points out that regardless what we know or look like, we'll still be compared as being 'alike' with the others. This essay has a good way into making the readers rethink about certain things.

A Modest Proposal

In A Modest Proposal, it reaches a level of satire by the way Swift explains how a family shall eat their children when they are one year-old. The way Swift implies diction is by giving out his thoughts and expressions through his proposal. He somewhat lures the readers into thinking eating babies are "delicious" regardless the way they're cooked. Swifts writing is well written and displayed because he gives out many reasons why he thinks it's a good idea. His structure is coherent. Swift's message was so extreme and shocking. The tone of voice Swift has on the proposal is persuasive. Like I said, he tends to lure the readers on why eating/cooking children at the age of one is necessary. This technically is comprehensive of an irony piece.
MY BIG QUESTION


How can one individual person conquer so many things in life? Like many people say, "Life is short, so live life like there is no tomorrow", but think about it. How can one person be so capable of accomplishing so many things before it's their time? Are they obligated to maintain a certain mindset when growing up? Or is it because it's their destiny to be such an accomplishment person?

EVERYTHING'S AMAZING

                          
                         The way Louis CK improvised satire was by saying how this generation as today expect so much from little things. He mentioned how he was sitting next to a guy during an airplane flight, and this guy had complained about the Wi-Fi being slow when it's been said it was high speed internet. From Louis CK's experiences of his young days and his current days explain why he has such humor when saying certain things. Louis CK didn't point anyone's name while stating his statements, he might've said it to certain types of people who relate to what he was pointing out, but he didn't point it out to one independent. Louis CK makes fun of today's generation by the way he sees it and also in a way that's combined with things from the past and the present.

           This shows satire because of how it shows a war of two sides fighting with only small weapons while they both have nuclear bombs aside of them.

            Satire is being shown in this image by displaying what white folks talk to their kids about and also what dark folks tell their kids. This is more of a racial satire.

              As you can see in the image it shows buying cigarettes can supposedly keep cancer away. This shows exaggeration because since everything is mostly pink when purchasing something to do with breast cancer, it demonstrates a pack of cigarette trying to be sold because of its color.
