Satire Writing Journal

I chose to satirize George Bush using Umbiba because he fit the story so well. He only cares about his own interests to the detriment of his own people. He fits Bush so well! The challenging part of this assignment was to make it funny. To tell the truth, the most challenging part of this assignment was the fact that I have my big presentation today at St. Peter’s and this assignment had to take a backseat. Sorry… I really do enjoy these writing assignments, and I always put a good deal of time into them, but the big presentation is worth more. Anyways, I would describe my character as flat, but then again I would describe George Bush as flat so oh well! I did return to Twain’s excerpt while writing this piece, but it tended to degrade my confidence. Satire is difficult to write, especially when walking in the footsteps of the best satirist in the history of mankind.
