1. What do you plan to satirize (idea, organization, person, etc.)? I plan to satirize the irony of feminism and how women themselves actually allow themselves to be inferior. Although the rights and powers of women have drastically increased throughout the past few decades, women are still viewed as inferior in many places, especially in Confucianism countries such as Korea. Women are expected to stay at home and often fail to get hired due to their gender. Many Korean women advocate feminism but what they don't realize is they are actually advocating the exact opposite; many young Korean girls (including myself) actually want to stay at home and take care of domestic things in the future instead of going out into the society. I find it ironical how the majority of the exact women who fight for their rights actually wish to stay at home and be the typical "inferior" Korean woman.

2. What is the conflict in your story? Chulsu thinks women are inferior and feminism is stupid, and Younghee is infuriated.

3. Briefly outline the plot events (bullet points okay)… -Younghee and Chulsu both need someone to share the drive to Seoul York City. -The driver asks them of what they are planning to do in Seoul York City. -Younghee tries to strike a conversation but fails, because Chulsu thinks men and women can't be friends because women are inferior. -Younghee disagrees and accuses Chulsu of being a sexist. She goes on and on about feminism, but Chulsu sleeps through it all. -Younghee and Chulsu decide to stop in a diner -Chulsu comments that Younghee is very attractive, but Younghee is infuriated once again, stating that men think that women are only good for their looks and services. -Younghee goes on about feminism. -Younghee and Chulsu hears two girls talking about how they want to stay at home like their mothers and not bear the burdens of society. -Chulsu asks Younghee what she wants to do for the future, and Younghee claims the same thing as the two girls. -Chulsu points out the irony of Korean feminism, and Younghee leaves saying that her mother has called her.

4. Who are the characters? (a limited number is a good idea) Younghee (a devoted feminist) Chulsu Two random girls in the diner

5. State how you will use the following devices (use at least five of the six listed):

1. Allusion -Look at Perseus and Andromeda, you women always need someone to come and rescue you! Help me, help me! -Well what about the Amazon warriors? They were MUCH stronger than men!

2. Hyperbole (exaggeration) We (men) can lift 100000000000 weights and can make $10000000000000000000000000, what can women do?

3. Oxymoron "Oh you are such a bright fool, for while your face beams with its beauty, your mouth speaks of the devil!

4. Irony (sarcasm) The topic itself is ironical.

5. Parody I wish to parody "When Harry met Sally" and change it to "When Chulsu met Younghee" For example, Chulsu would say something along the lines of "Men and women can't be friends because the __inferior__ part always gets in the way."

6. Understatement Women can barely lift a feather, oh my nails!
