TRY FRAMING YOUR ARGUMENT BY EXPLAINING HOW, IN GENERAL, SATIRE CAN BE CONSIDERED A FORM OF REALISM.
NEED HELP BECAUSE MOVING AWAY FROM THE IDEA OF SATIRE AS REALISM IN THE NOVEL IS JUST REALISTIC.
SATIRE OFTEN DEPICTS A CHAOTIC WORLD AND REALITY ITSELF IS OFTEN CHAOTIC. EXPLAIN THIS IDEA OUT AND USE IT EARLY IN THE PARAGRAPH TO SET UP IN FRAME YOUR OVERALL ARGUMENT
TRY SLOWING DOWN AND EXPLAINING HOW THE SYMBOLISM OR CONNOTATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL WORDS/ACTIONS/PHRASES PROVES THE POINT YOURE MAKING. A GOOD TECHNIQUE IS TO REPEAT A WORD OR SO FROM THE QUOTE AND EXPLAIN HOW IT SUPPORTS YOUR POINT. REVIEW THE CAMPING OUT (EXPLAINING QUOTES)
FOR SPECIFIC IDEAS ON INCORPORATING THIS EXPLANATION. AS WRITTEN, IT’S NOT CLEAR HOW YOUR EXPLANATION CONNECTS REALISM AND SATIRE. WORK THAT OUT FOR THE READER SO WE CAN GET INSIDE YOUR MIND AND SEE HOW YOU ARE INTERPRETING THIS PARTICULAR QUOTE.
