Attacking North Korea's leadership with Satire
North Korea's Travel Brochure |
The theme of our brochure is to make fun of North Korea. The tone of the brochure is ironic and sarcastic. Where making a situation where it sounds good to travel to North Korea but in reality it is bad. We are exaggerating how good North Korea sounds to the audience. We will use verbal irony by saying how good North Korea would be to visit for vacation but we show how bad it is, with pictures we have on our brochure. We are using situational irony to say that North Korea is good but in reality is bad. We are trying to urge you to never travel to North Korea. Over there they have a dictator who tells you what you can and can’t do. They have soldiers walking the streets to make sure you dont disobey the rules he made. Pick any other place for you to go on vacation than North Korea.
