Journal 8

My favorite satire has to be both the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Watchmen. For some reason I have always been drawn to exploitations of the human condition and our species realizing how primitive many of us still act. In an educational sense all these works seek to teach the rest of the world to be consciously aware of their surroundings and take time to think about what their actions may entail about the future. These novels really poke fun of people who don't utilize intelligence and instead act on impulse. Those whom do act upon impulse truly fit a natural stereotype implied by these novels. In addition, these novels really look down upon those who are not grateful for the gift of sentience and instead use it for greedy reasonings rather than for helping humanity endure and prosper.
