Humor does seem to be what the judges always look for. Therefore, I wish NYC would remove 1984 as an example from their site. I think 1984 is satire, but I feel like it wouldn't be considered so by some of the judges. It's one of my peeves here at NYC. I'd like the judges to find a common ground on which they determine what makes something satire. I am definitely reading your blog post and also posting the dictionary definition below. satire 1.) the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly,etc. 2.) a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up
to scorn,derision, or ridicule. 3.) a literary genre comprising such compositions. |
