How is this an example of a satire?
In the reading Bryan justifies his reasoning on how evolution is wrong by going back to his usual ways which are the bible. He doesn’t take the time to see what is in front of him and how ridiculous it truly is. There is an ape on the stand telling everyone that he is from the future and that in the future apes will be ruling the world. Brady blows this off and refers back to the bible and how because the bible doesn’t say apes will take over then apes won’t be taking over. He thinks that only what the bible says will happen and is true.
How can satire be used to persuade people?
It can be used to persuade people by showing them different sides of a story or situation. It gives you examples of the element of ridiculousness and the element of practicality. For example the man who wrote about eating babies to keep from overpopulation was a satire. It may sound ridiculous but if you were to eat babies the population wouldn’t be over populated so it’s actually reasonable.
