noun - satirethe use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
I chose this picture of Jewish men in chains and uniform because Heller uses satire to expose the issues of the war. I think this image does the word expose justice, in that the lack of human rights in Jewish camps needed to be exposed to get support to destroy the Nazi empire and create fairness and equality in Europe.
I chose the Iwojima image to signify partly change, and the 'rise' used in satire. Heller wrote the novel to create a movement and change the way the stupidity of war and its participants go about doing buisness. He was trying to get Americans to rise, and the image to left is the perfect fit for that word.
This image to me is a funny political cartoon, but I think it represents the ridicule that Heller was trying to create when he used his satire technique openly point out the issues with the war. This image perectly fits the word because Americans are ridiculing Hitler and beleifs.
This image speaks for itself, almost literally. Heller uses satire to try to change peoples outlook on war and to change the way things are done. This image is perfect because Heller isn't trying to make money and get his book taken off the shelf, but to change the way people think on a matter that will always be important.
Sacasm and satire are very similar, but I think of sarcasm as a type or form of satire. Another funny, and self explanitory image, but I think it fits the theme because of the simple use of sarcasm to get a point across... that is unless your speaking to a man like the one on the left. (America???)
This represents the irony of satire, irony is used constantly throughout the novel and Heller uses it hilariously. This image is an obvious example of irony however in the novel some of the irony presented is hard to follow or even catch onto.
