Often times, speeches or academic essays on important issues are ignored or dismissed due to “sheer monotonous language” and since most of the population does not care about the issue, even “the nation's establishment press [will tend to ignore] it” (Blumer). Satire is commonly used to draw attention to the follies and vices people do. Many of the ways that authors create popular satiric work is by establishing a target, the goal of the product, and then using satiric techniques in order to ridicule the target in a humorous way.
