8 Amusing: satire of Flat Story

         
  Before, I have talked about that parody and satire can produce funny. Basically, parody, draws on- and high lights- aesthetic conventions, satire draws on-and highlights- social ones. In Flat Story, I apply some satires, so I will analyze which part I apply satires to produce funny.

l       Satire works to mock and attack. It uses the norms within its province as a basis against which to measure deviations. Like Rita and Nancy give Susan a nickname---iron shoes, that is a satire. This is because that Susan’s behavior always are not normal, basically she do everything is so exaggerated. So her flat mates have to give her a nickname to satirize her from her ridiculous behavior. 

even ending song is also a satire, who let dog out.


l  Sometimes the deviations themselves are attacked, particularly if those who deviate are those who profess to adhere to these norms most strongly. Like Susan’s words, she always said she is so fashion and rich, but in fact, her clothes always so ugly and never have something that can be show her rich.  That means she satirize herself.


       Like in the end, Susan drink other people’s milk, she is so happy, but it is a                      big satire for her because the milk actually is dirty.
