Satire

Satire is when people use jokes and funny stories to point out things that are wrong or silly in the world. For example, if a politician said something really stupid, a satirist might write a funny story or draw a cartoon to make fun of the politician. Satire is supposed to be funny, but it also is trying to make a point and get people to think about things in a different way.
