WP Satire and Exaggeration

     Author’s of satires often use exaggeration in their work.  In order to make something look bad, they make things worse than it actually is.  For example, in the short essay titled “Learn With Book,” the author exaggerates the fact that people don’t read enough books.  He goes so far as suggesting that people do not know what books are do to the overuse of technology.
