Satire is used in literature to criticize or expose fraudulent activities within an individual or society. It ridicules the weaknesses one may have and in return, have it corrected. The purpose of using satire is not to amuse readers but to get a response from them that could possibly lead to a political and/or societal change.

Candide’s mentor and tutor, Pangloss taught optimistic principles without any troubles. Candide had stayed pretty sheltered living in Thunder-ten-tronckh and didn’t have to concern himself with wealth or other hardships of the outside world.

Poet Kenneth Koch cleverly imitates the structure, situations, and thematic form of two well-known poets in order to criticize and sometimes perhaps praise their simplicity and underlying irony. He often focuses on presenting the same situation within the poem in a new and humorous way that diversifies your perspective about Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall” and William Carlos Williams’s “This is Just to Say” affair. There is a strong relationship between the original and the parody that both enhances your view of the original and strangely, simultaneously weakens it.

"We could always go back to help later." her ears flicked at the sound of a few distant voices chatting. The town was in full swing, people heading from one place to another. Most didn't seem to notice the two of them. "Lon Lon Ranch. Okay. I like horses. They're cool." she reached a hand to help Theo up if he hadn't already climbed to his feet. "Where uh...
