Tearing Down China

        I recently read this article from the onion that is a great satire. This article from the ever great Onion is a true treasure. This article reaches into people and pulls out their most sarcastic selves. The article is a great example of sarcasm for many reasons. Sarcasm is a sharp or cutting expression/remark, it means to tear someone’s flesh. One of the ways is, this young man is telling us that the people who live in China are extremely lucky to live there and they need to realize that before they mess up the best thing that ever happened to them, he's saying this to tear them apart and to be mean to them. Truly showing us the Greeks are great namers. The man obviously doesn't agree with what his fellow countrymen are saying. Another way it's sarcastic is the fact that he calls the communist party brilliant when America has tried for years to show people that it's quite the opposite. However, this article is more than just a sarcastic one, it draws attention to the problem that China is having with their government and the lack of freedom they experience. So even though this article is funny and sarcastic it also brings attention to a more serious issue that's happening in China. The article wants people to pay attention to the world around them but people don't always like to hear how their world or country is acting, so this article helps bring attention to the serious issue but in a more relaxed way so the reader can enjoy themselves but still learn about places around them.
