In our studies of literature, we have came across satiric essays. We have read some essays that were written by the artists Swift, and Pope. Through these readings, we were able to gather a better understanding as to how satire is typically used. We understand that satire is saying one thing, but meaning something else. There are two types of satire, there is hovatian, which means playful, or there is juvilian, which means mean. I will be including a mix of both in the essay that I have prepared. I chose to write about an affair that had gone on in my family.
I will talk about how much It has affected my family. There are three main points that I will talk about, how much it has broughten us together, how it makes all of us happier, and lastly how it makes us understand God, and why he does the things that he does even better. To begin, I will explain with how this affair has broughten us closer together as a family. This affair that happened in my family earlier this summer has made us so much closer. We want to do more things together, because we just love how open our parent’s relationship is.
We seem to be able to talk about more things together, because there is now no more secrets. This affair has helped us realize that not being enough is okay, and that we still can get what we want and still have everything that we need. My mom wants to do more things for my dad since the affair happened. My sister’s and I love to hang out with him and his new girlfriend all of the time, because we think that it is so much fun. My sisters love having another motherly figure in the picture because it helps us all almost acts as though we are peers.
We are able to do more things as a family with the community, because everyone likes us so much more after this all happened. I thank my dad for bringing our family closer, and making a sacrifice in having an affair to make that happen. Next, I will tell how all of us seem to be happier since the affair began. I remember how unhappy my family and I were when we were all together. Now that there has been an affair that had occurred, we all seem to be much more happier than we ever could have imagined.
We love it when the community reminds us of what has been done in our family is now affecting the whole community, but in a positive way only of course. When we have family events, the family seems to enjoy each other’s company more, and more smiles and laughs seem to be exchanged. We think that if we had never had an affair occur in our family, that we would all just be sitting at home feeling sorry for ourselves, instead of having the best time that we could have. When I think of the past year that just happened, with the new year coming up and all, all I can think about is how this affair was the biggest highlight of it all.
I remember that my life wasn’t as exciting and enjoyable, so I must thank my dad on a daily basis for helping me be happy, and remember how good it feels to be in a position like this. To end, I share how the affair helps us understand why God does the things that he does. Before the affair, I did not believe in God one bit, but now that the affair has happened, all I can think about is there being a God. I never could imagine that a God could do something so wonderful for a family, I never knew that he could be so grateful and giving.
He helps me understand that he does things like this to fulfil a family, and to give them something that they really need and deserve to help the family grow and be complete. God has helped me understand that in order to have the joy in your life, you need something as happy as this to come into it. I am so thankful that God went to my dad and told him what he needed to do to keep this family well and working and never to fall apart. I thank my dad for listening to God, in order to make sure that our family never goes apart and never loses their way from each other.
In conclusion, I believe that this affair is the only thing that has kept my family alive and the only thing that helps it function correctly. God has helped us, ( my family) through this affair, by making sure that we are having the best time that we can. God has showed me that he is real, and that the reason he gave my family such a good gift is because we are the best kind of family that can be. I truly believe that my family hasn’t been happier than we are now after this affair. We would never have become as close as we are today if it wasn’t for this affair. This affair becomes the true foundation of my family.
