I think we have sufficiently established how satire can help to make people aware of societal and political flaws. Today, however, we are going to switch it up and put the satire in the hands of the government and politicians, in this case the military and Walt Disney.
To begin, please watch the following
documentary produced by the US government
in World War II.

Review of satirical techniques
- 1. parody-a piece of writing, music, etc., that imitates the style of someone or something else in an amusing way
- 2. burlesque
3. exaggeration- to think of or describe something as larger or greater than it really is - 4 juxtaposition-the act of placing two things next to each other
- 5. analogy- that if two or more things agree with one another in some respects they will probably agree in others
- 6. comparison-the act of looking at things to see how they are similar or different
- 7. double entendre- ambiguity of meaning arising from language that lends itself to more than one interpretation
