Absurdist Satire: "Lifeboat" by Monty Python
Satire is edgy and can even push into the outrageous. This skit is edgy but it’s clearly not meant to be taken seriously. The outrageous is balanced by its silly, wacky style. We can learn about absurdity, juxtaposition, irony, characterization, and the British "stiff upper lip" cultural attitude. While satire can be harsh when directed at individuals (usually those in government or in power), satire’s ultimate goal is to use freedom of speech, a constitutional right, to improve society through

This is Your Brain on Figurative Language: Brain-Science of Metaphors & Similes
Do you know what a simile is? A metaphor? If you do, you can probably give me a hand with these definitions:• A simile is a comparison that uses “like” or “as.”• A metaphor is a comparison that does NOT use “like” or “as.” Now that we’re all on the same page, I have to offer a confession: I taught figurative language using these two definitions for a huge chunk of my teaching career. I never realized I was stuck in a rut. These textbook explanations blocked me from seeing that symbolic language
