Imagine Cervantes, Voltaire or Pope writing a parody today. Select some form of written communication that you image he would relish lampooning, and then write a parody of your own. You many choose from such forms of writing as the memoir, the business memo, the advice-column letter, the political-campaign speech, or a Facebook page entry. Before you begin writing your parody, decide what the target of your satire will be. Then, use the literary devices--exaggeration, verbal irony, incongruity, humorous imitation--to write a parody of your own. 200 words.

Vote me for president, I will make all drugs legal for people of any age! Want to give your three year old some heroine? You can if you vote for me. Drugs don't harm anyone, they make life better. Imagine how much more fun your work day would be if you were high on cocaine. I promise life would be ten times better if I were elected into office. We could even lower the prices and make drugs more available to every social class. You won't get hooked on anything, you'll be able to stop whenever you want to. Even pregnant women will be able to pop a pill or two, their babies won't be affected in any way. Vote me for president and I promise to make all this happen!

Hello and good afternoon gentlemen and ladies my name is Bob Dunning the CEO of tike and today I have come up with some new logos and shirts that will have our new logos on them first I would like our clothing to be as cheap as possible as in we sell them for just as much as it takes to make them that way people buy our stuff more and don’t feel cheated. The other point I would like to make is that our logo be “just don’t do it” because what if we are saying smoke weed or jump off a cliff now we are saying to do stupid stuff.

Soooo, I kind of remember after Obama was sworn in, that, he would give us greater freedom and cut back on wire taps and spying on his own citizens. Well Obama, what happened to that promise? I mean when Edward Snowden came out and released all the NSA papers, and orders stating that you wanted an increased surveillance of US citizens, that was cool with us and all. But THEN you have to go and spy on UN meetings and other International summits? That was totally NOT cool President Obama, I mean that's as bad as giving authorization for drone strikes on US citizens, which thankfully you haven't done yet. But Mr. President Obama you have got to STOP with all the spying, I mean I realize we want security and all, but as that one old dude said who's on the hundred dollar bill: "those willing to give up a few freedoms for a little more security deserve neither and shall have neither" or something along those lines. So for the sake of your own citizens and the sake of everyone across the globe, please put an end to charade and stop spying on everyone, I mean its not like the rest of the world does it to us, right?

Suffering from chronic or acute pains? Need a little something to "take the edge off"? Or perhaps, you feel like your days are dull and often lack a certain something that makes you feel alive. Well, if you suffer from any of these common afflictions, you can help make your voice heard for the legalization of medical cocaine. People often confuse the idea of legalizing cocaine as a ploy to make a "hard drug" legal, when really, looking at the medical benefits provided, such as the ability to dull even the sharpest of pains, it would be criminal not to exploit cocaine! Of course, not all children like the idea of their child using such a substance, so for their consideration, there will definitely be an imposed age restriction, where you have to be 18 years of age to purchase the product. Specialized shops (which we hope to spread to every corner of America), will be available for your painkilling needs. Turn your life, and the lives of many other Americans around now, ease the pain, legalize cocaine.
