Hello to all my wonderful readers. It is a beautiful day today and I am
Today’s word of the day is a one that I don’t use in my immediate vocabulary. However, it is widely used in the world entertainment and maybe even in politics. The television show “Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher” uses our word of the day as a badge of honor. So what is the word of the day?

Today’s word is satire brought to us by Emily J. of Rapid City South Dakota. Our definition comes from our online source at www.dictionary.reference.com
sat·ire
[sat-ahyuhr] –noun
1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.
3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.
Okay, we have the definition of the word but really what does it mean? I am sure that all of us have dealt with satire some point in our long lives. Tell me about it and how it made you feel? Is there satire in the book the “Immortal Lost”? Who would be guilty of satire out of the characters that you have read about? Is it Alessar or Gelmir? Maybe it is Dylan? Tell me your thoughts.
Until next time, Read On!! H.R.Phillips
