21. Satire
• A kind of writing that holds up to ridicule or
contempt the weakness and wrongdoings of
individuals, groups, institutions, or humanity
in general.
24. Quickwrite
• Quickwrite: Some of the most exciting
narratives pit villain against hero in a life-or-
death struggle. The tension in such stories
often depends as much on the character of
the bad guy or gal as on that of the hero.
Write a few sentences describing a villain
from a novel, story, or movie. Why does the
character fascinate you?
