Part A: One of the characteristics of utopian fiction is that it critiques social conventions, behaviors, and institutions, often through satire. First, in one paragraph define satire, giving a contemporary example (it can be a text, TV show, movie, photo, or an electronic media artifact, such as a post on Facebook or another social media site). In your paragraph, be sure to include an explanation telling why this example is satirical. Part B: Now, identify one facet of early modern English society (an institution, idea, or behavior) that is satirized in Book 2 of Utopia. In two paragraphs, explain how the satire is developed and why this particular phenomenon is featured in (i.e., is a focus of) Utopia. PART C: Put together in one document the texts that you developed in Part A and Part B. Remember that your claims in all parts of the assignment should be substantiated by excerpts from appropriate sources (scholarly research and/or literary texts). Quotes, paraphrase, and summary used in the assignment should be arranged according to APA rules of style, and in-text and reference citations should be provided, also formatted in APA style. Quoted material should not exceed 25% of the post. Submit the final document in the Discussion Area
