Current News Article Assignment

Instructions
You’ve read Candide. You’ve studied the satire sheet. You have a sense of humor. You are a citizen of the world. I mean a citizen of the best of all possible worlds. So…

Choose a current news article from wherever you find them. It must have a world view topic and be news, not sports, humor, essay, etc.

Figure out where and when the news is happening. Then put Candide and at least one other character from Voltaire into that situation. You can use more characters. You can make up a new character if you give it a full description. And you can use real people with phony, recognizable names.

Write a brief intro explaining what type of satire you’ll use. then write a Chapter of the new, 21st Century, Candide.

But- before you post your work, use the comment box to tell me what superhero has an attachment to the elements of satire.
