Scopes Satire

To me a satire is one of the most comical, and entertaining pieces of writing. The satire on science is especially sarcastic. The author says that science is disrupting the beliefs of religious people, and that these people would rather keep their children ignorant than have them expand their knowledge base, and he says normal people like coal miners will never need to know this, why should we teach something that will encourage normal people to ask question. It is very entertaining to hear the exact complete opposite of what we came to believe in the book.

cimp

Scopes defended By super-intelligent Chimpanzee-Man from Future Is a very funny and hilarious satire that was written about the scopes case. This article really makes fun of how dumb Brady was. Brady was so dumb that he was talking to drummed and he was a chimp but he was to focused on the bible. Brady couldn’t even focus on the most blatant thing in the court room. They are trying to also say that Clarence Darrow is from the past to show evidence that humans came from aps.
I think the satire is very funny because some people use it in a wierd way. But it is a good way to persuade and get opinions out there. If everyone used satire then this world would be about doing each others way. Everything would be lived through opinion. For someone to say we dont need science is crazy. Science helps everyone to understand what is going on around them. We need science to understand what we need aroend us. But the person who came up with this satire is very convincing.

SAtire

This artical was very funny and intresting. It was making fun of progress which cant ever really be stoped. It was making fun of the uneducated people who think that all the kids in america shouldent be able to learn actul facts or think about what they want. In this artical aperently you shouldent eed to learn anything because it will never help you in the long run. This book was funny and showed a great satire

Satire...

I personally love when satire is used in writing. It makes the story a lot more interesting, and keeps the reader wanting more. In the short article we read, there was satire in almost every sentence. I loved it. Basically the author said whoever thinks their children should go to school and not learn science are crazy. If they couldn't learn science why should they learn english or history? He thinks it is hilarious that they would rather lie to their children than teach them the facts that people have dedicated most of their lives to figure out. But their children can learn parts of speech even if it changed the way they have written their whole life. During this whole article I never got bored, or thought about something else. The author brought up an excellent point. Evolution is a theory of science, you don't have to agree with it, but you should at least learn about it before you judge it!
“Bert, whenever you see something bright, shining, perfect-seeming. look behind the paint! And if it's a lie-show it up for what it really is! -Acts III, Sc. 1”

This satirical article is seemed very sarcastic and foolish, which is the definition of satire. One part of the article said that we shouldn't have to be taught math if we are going to work in an iron factory our whole life. This seems foolish to me and silly that someone could think that we should only be taught what we are going to do in the future. If we want out societies to be well rounded and everyone to be smart then this idea is bogus. In this article the sarcasm never stop. Also they say that people should not go to school because all they teach is facts. Facts are one of the main things in school. However i think this idea is just silly and i'm glad this is not how our society is today!

satire

In this article it mocks the way everybody thinks that evolution is not real and everybody in Dayton Tenn. believe in creation. When the ape got on the witness stand William Jennings Bryan was acting like it was just some animal and there was no way that humans came from them. He takes quotes directly from the bible and is always praising it.

Ha satire...

Well this article was very interesting. It made fun of the idea of progress, which realistically, can not be stopped. It was making fun of uneducated people who think children should not have the right to know actual facts, or to think freely and veer from the path of religion. According to this text, nothing should be taught in school because the common folk will never need to know those subjects. The Onion was a great example of satire.

SATIRE IN THE ONION!!!!

First of all, I love the Onion. It’s such a good magazine. This satirical article is obviously sarcastic because any man would know that education, questioning, and facts are needed to survive in life. As a child, curiosity consumes the minds and questions are sparked. Asking questions doesn’t necessarily mean one is ignorant, only that one is curious. Without questioning things, nothing would ever get discovered. No opinions would be tested, and everything would be boring. Opinions wouldn’t even exist without questions. Everything we have today wouldn’t be possible without the education of the people. Planes require engineering, writing classes are necessary for authors, and the science class is needed for life. Science is the basis of everything we know. Taking science out of school systems means taking the most important knowledge out of people’s lives. Not all science is important, but the science that is, is a crucial part of life. Low paying jobs usually have uneducated and unqualified people serving as workmen. An education leads to higher paying jobs that can produce more of the brilliant workmen of the world. The extremities of satire in this article is used in such a convincing manner that a person who doesn’t know what satire is would think it was completely genuine.

Emys Satire HW

I thought this was a funny reading about how we should not teach science or any subject in school that we are not going to use in the future. It was saying that we shouldn't have to be taught math if we r going to work in a iron factory for our whole life. This story almost got me convinced and i was taking its side thinking that we really didn't need to take classes if we are never going to use them in our life. But then again we want to have our societies be well rounded and very educated, so this theory wouldn't work.

Science Eliminated From Schools?

            The satire arguing that science should be eliminated from the school systems because it is simply filling the children’s minds with useless fact that will never be used. Obviously this is not true, because with out the basic information on science, which is involved in almost everything and even in many careers, we would lose all of the hard work that our ancestors have worked so hard to gain and would have to again start from the past. This hard work is the result of our modern world and without it, we would be living in the past. Without these new inventions, the things we take for granted, would not be possible to do so easily. The author also mentions the low paying jobs, usually for the lowerclassmen, that everyone who does not get an education and learns about science have. However, with a proper education, these people would get higher paying jobs, possibly produce more scientists and mathematicians, and invent modern technology that eliminates the dirty jobs that no body really wants.

I thought the ending of Inherit the Wind was a bad way to end. But then I started to think about it and I realized that it was quite possibly the best way to end the book. With Mathew Harrison Brady dying, it was almost like a lot of peoples faith dying. They were presented with this new way to think and they took and ran with it. I just wish he could have not died but it definitely had to happen. Great Book!!!

Satire

The author is showing satire because e is making fun of the bible by using evolution. He is saying that it makes people look and sound like monkeys. Clarence Darrow didn’t call any of the scientists to the stand. And how they brought a monkey on to the stand and they were asking him evolution questions.
How there is an ape on the stand and how it is ridicule show they were talking about eating babies and how the world would decrease and we would have more clothing and. They also call the ape to the stand and the ape is talking about how humans came from monkeys. The bible also doesn’t mention Cornelius at all.

Satire thing

This may be Satire, but I agree to a certain extent. This article says that we dont need to learn science at all, which I dont agree with at all. This example of Satire is funny, saying nothing is needed in life for you to be successful, but this is wrong. Without math or being able to read, your life sucks. Sorry jones i dont know why its in blue

Satire

This article is a hilarious example of satire. The author is very sarcastic by asking why we should ever teach children facts. He even goes as far as to say that they will never need science and math because everybody will just be farmers for the rest of their lives. The sarcasm never stops, and this is a trait of satire. It is also ironic because the author says that we should not go to school to learn facts. This is funny because why else would people go to school.

Satire Homework

The "Should Children Be Exposed to Facts?" satire was a great way of saying that without science we would be stuck in the past. First of all, he says we should not fill children's brains with facts, because then they have information that will be un-useful if they want to be farmers, mill workers, coal miners, etc. This is incredibly humorous because these jobs are those of the past, we have progressed forward with science and now the jobs are more advanced and we do not all need to mine, farm, and act as (what is now, thanks to science) modern machinery. Second, he says children should be taught to accept everything they are told, and to never question anything. Where would we be without questioning things? We would never have our lovely modern conveniences without people questioning things. He also says that all the noblest heroes never cared about facts, which is false. Noble presidents, inventors, and other important people cared about facts and asked questions. I would doubt there has ever been a normal person who didn't ask questions. Not only does he repel the idea of science, but he also repels the idea of learning. We would still be cavemen if we never learned anything! As is obvious, satire is incredibly sarcastic and can convince people to do things they have never thought of before. I enjoyed this article because it was just funny to think that anybody would honestly have those ideals.

Satire HW

This is a satire because what actually happens at school is what he doesn't want and it is not planing on changing. It is the oppoiste of what he says, leaning Mathe, science, history, facts and the truth is what gets us through life. IF you don't have any of these skills all the jobs that you want will be a lot harder to get. He is putting humor into the story to change what people should think about what is taught n school. Every child of all ages go to school, to learn gain more knowledge about history, math, science and new fact that are recognized everyday.in school they teach the truth, and facts about our world an the human race, but he thinks it is bad. He says that people don't want to know the truth they want to believe what sounds normal. If people only know manners, when to talk, obedience and not ask question when they get to the real world they won't know what to if they are confused, lost, or want to know more or why they are doing it.

Satire

I agree and disagree with the scarcastic article. First, I would be a lot easier if everyone believe in the same thing and there was no one to say it wasn't true. In Inherit the Wind, the same thing happens. No one wants to believe we decended from apes, and it is easier just to go along with the creation theory. The article also says the the facts have nothing to do with life after school. In some cases this is true, you may not need to know the theory of evolution or about space. But I believe that everyone has a right learn and a right to information. Satire is used a lot in this article to enhance extremities. For example, the article says that giving people facts will allow them to think, and we don't want people to think! I agree that it is a lot easier to control people if no one is thinking outside the box, but if no one was a thinker, we would get no where. Facts enable our mind to wander and think of all the possiblities. If children were deprived of facts, they would be deprived on learning and thinking too.

Wed. hw. satire

This article is very sarcastic and pretty much making fun of the people that believe science shouldn't be taught in schools, which makes it humorous. For example, it talks about how we shouldn't teach our children to ask questions, just teach them what they need to know to be a farmer, coal miner, or mill worker. And saying a good citizen never asks questions or tries to get themselves to excel in their knowledge. Also, it says that the people should only care what they've always believed in, and not in the facts that we are discovering are true. Which is meaning that we are pretty stupid to not want to learn, ask questions, and figure out what is really true in this world. Finally, it's acting sarcastic by saying religion has never done any evil things. Which it has, like the "witch" burning for instance. All in all, this article is sarcastic and makes fun of pretty much the whole human race and how most of us think, making it humorous and an example of a satire.

KULANI IS CRYING... bahahah

This book is surprisingly one of my top favorites. Just because of the fact of the history behind it. Ridiculous enough, there was a time were religion was opposed to sciences, but it was turned to a point of imperialism and great power. I liked how the judge announced that Cates was guilty, however was only fined with a low 100 dollars. Cleaver because what Cates had done was not necessarily a 'crime', but a unlawful law that was broken. This was important because the judge basically let Cates go, with the knowledge that their town law was very unfair and therefore incredibly illegitimate. Even though this part was good, i also enjoyed how at the very end of the book Drummond put both the bible and Darwin's book in the same bag. Shows how some people can learn to open their minds toward different views and ideas.
