their everyday activities. The reasons to that are
probably the fact that they do not look at their

Isolated From Society York Simon 038 Schuster

society. This focussing on the defects of society
as a whole doubles as a function of this genre of
literature and a framework within the plot or
theme of the novel or story. The satirist
emphasizes the ugly ramifications of society, but
to do so the satirist needs a vehicle for the
observation of society s actions and effects as a
whole. This society is often represented as a
microcosm or series o...

VOICE When I read the chapter on The De-Voicing of

we may have gone to far. People must never be
replaced by machines. I have always had a voice,
