Well it is not a modern satire but it is relevant to the continuing issue of poverty worldwide.  Check out "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.  He also wrote Gulliver's Travels.\n\nA Modest Proposal states that the English hierarchy should eat Irish babies and children since they have taken everything else away anyhow.  Might be relevant with the issues in Africa, TIbet, India, etc.\n\nYou might also check out some of George Carlin's writings.  True you need to be careful as he can be crass and you don't want to go there for an English class, but some of his other works really hits home on Modern Issues.  He has many books that you could probably get at the local library.\n\nAl Franken is also another writer of interests on modern issues, I don't know if he uses satire but he did write a book called "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right"\n\nI Hope This Helps,\nAmy

I published a webzine called ASIA'ZINE about the Asian/Western dichotomy for five years.  It's still up and running at www.asiazine.com.  \n\nASIA'ZINE contains a mix of articles from different people about their experiences/perspectives growing up Asian in North America as well as a smattering of Asian pop culture.  Underlying many of the articles, is the theme of irony, humour and being able to laugh at yourself and the stereotypes.

G'day Kim,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nIf it were me, I would compare and contrast the satirical approach to human nature of Voltaire's Candide and Swift's works Gullivers Travels and a Modest Proposal. (Please note that a Modest Proposal is by Swift not Milton).\n\nHaving said that, you are leaving it a bit late but hopefully you will be able to pull something together.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

Satire - (from dictionary.com)\n1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.  \n2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.  \n\ngood word...I probably would have just asked for "symbolism" in Animal Farm.\n\nI think the main theme of the satire part of it is in exposing the follies of placing one group in charge of politics that is no better than the last group was. (In the end the pigs were walking on 2 legs and the other animals couldn't tell the difference between them and when the humans were in charge...they were getting the same bad deal. \n\nOne particular folly that I think it points out is with the horse. The horse could represent the masses of people (or the proletariat)(or working class Americans or whatever nation) they do hold a lot of power and could actually make changes - if they could just figure it out...but their motto is "I will work harder" not "I will figure out what is broken and fix that" So they just go to work at the same old drudgery and don't help solve the problem...at one point though they show their true power and from what I remember the horse pins a pig down with his powerful hoof...\n\nI remember that the pigs are to represent Communism or a socialist form of government...I think Orson Wells is trying to show people that it isn't a good system, and he is exposing what is going on, but he is also demonstrating the folly as well, in that the masses cannot or will not learn even when someone is pointing it out to them...as he is pointing out to us in his book and what do the masses do about it? They say "I will work harder" now it takes 2 incomes to buy a home and raise a family in many areas...etc..etc...

Anything by Thomas Friedman, the 3X Pulitzer prize winning Foreign Correspondent from the N.Y. Times.\n\n"The Lexus and the Olive Tree"\n"Longitudes and Attitudes"\n"The World Is Flat (revised)"\n\nThese three are in order of when written. The second one is a compendium of his N.Y. Times Opinion Columns, lots of different topics. The third is a close look at Globalization and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking at the world of future employment and international cooperation.\n\nFor class discussion, use the second. For class enlightenment, use the third.
