Where do I see satire in my life?

I see satire almost everyday in my life. I see satire at home, at school, sometimes when I go out, its just everywhere. But I see it the mst at school. A very good example of satire would be my old world hstory teacher Mr.Bosworth. He uses satire in his lessons. Another example is my english teacher, me personally feel that she uses satire a little to much. In conclusion satire is all around now that I understand what it is now.

Henry Bibb (1864)

Today is Juneteenth, the day Lincoln free the slaves. I have finally had time to my family to celebrate our freedom and actually sit down with each other. Today was a great day for us and other citizens who were once slaves. We danced, laughed, ate, and enjoyed ourselves. I couldn't be happier to see everyone so happy, so........FREE! But as i sit now and look around I wonder, if this is how our first celebration is on the first year after the event, how it will be in the future. On the other hand im going to enjoy today and finish off with the love of my family. We are all blessed to finally enjoy a celebration like such after all we have been threw, all of the beatings and trading and separations. Being bought and forced to do prostitution, we been threw it all and we finally get a little break from it! WE ARE TRUELY BLESSED! God Bless Lincoln for his accomplishment and may we stay this way for as long as we live!
