The War Prayer

Today we did a little practice with satire and read Twain's "The War Prayer." Satire is sometimes tricky to pick up on so remember to look for the four main elements: irony, humor, exaggeration, and social commentary.
Still no new homework so make sure you are progressing on your Crucible papers. I'm not known for my easy grading of papers so put some time and effort into it.
Upcoming: Huck 1-22 due tomorrow
Crucible paper due next Thursday
