5.5/6 LOOSER USED TWICE -- LIKE THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF THE HEIGHT.

Satirical Comic Project Proposal

Directions: Complete the following questions – short answers are acceptable. Please get approval from Mr. Stephens before beginning your project.

What do you plan to satirize (idea, organization, person, etc.)?

i satirize the idea that tall people (over 180cm) are successful

What is the conflict in your story?

The tall one seems to have everything while the short one has nothing. And the story continues.

Briefly outline the plot events (bullet points okay)…
 * Two people live in a society where a person’s height becomes the barometer of success.
 * Epsi and Hypo, long friends since birth and now roommates, have never been separated from each other as they have always conducted all activities together.
 * The comic draws the story of the two men as they head their way to buy some groceries.
 * However, Hypo, who had advanced skin cancer for his direct exposure to sunlight caused by his tall height, dies suddenly at the doorstep of the market.
 * Epsi, who initially had vitamin D deficiency, suddenly gets cured as Hypo no longer blocks up the sunlight.

Who are the characters? (a limited number is a good idea)


 * Hypotenuse(Hypo) is a tall, successful salesman, who lacks of personality and intelligence. Hypo suffers from skin cancer.
 * Epsilon(Epsi) is a small and unemployed since high school, is always discontent about his situation. Epsi good looking and astute. He suffers from vitamin D deficiency.

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


 * Allusion** (st that is said or written that refers to or mentions another person in an indirect way)

Hypo calls Epsi: looser (looser: became a syn for ‘short guy’ after a college student’s remark in a famous TV show)


 * Hyperbole** (exaggeration) (a way of speaking/writing that makes st sound better, more exciting, dangerous etc... than it really is)

Epsi criticizes Hypo’s low intelligence: You have nothing inside your head that you could even hear your own echo. Hypo to Epsi: is the air fresh down there? Epsi to Hypo: yes, i am small enough to see molecules and atoms.


 * Oxymoron** (a phrase that combines two words that seem to be the opposite of each other, ex. //a deafening silence//)


 * Irony** (sarcasm)

The death of Hypo itself is ironical because he who had everything dies first.


 * Parody**

Hypo calls Epsi: looser (looser: became a syn for ‘short guy’ after a college student’s remark in a famous TV show)


 * Understatement** (a statement that makes st seem less important, impressive, serious, etc... than it really is)

Epsi to Hypo after the latter’s suggestion to buy elevator shoes: As if i need them! Elevator shoes are for short people.

MESSAGE: criticize of how of a person’s success is measured by his height.

-elevator: (1)talk about “loser” (Epsi believes that he is still growing up!) -street: (2)talk about elevator shoes (Hypo suggest Epsi to buy elevator shoes, but Epsi is too proud for that and knows that a couple of centimeters would not help), (3)Hypo is arrogant and too full of himself, which annoys Epsi who in turn makes fun of Hypo’s low intelligence (they fight about who is better).
