Satire is when a literary work pokes fun at someone or something in society in order to criticize or make a point.(1 point)

For example, in George Orwell's Animal Farm, the animals on the farm overthrow their human farmer and establish a new society where all animals are equal. However, over time, the pigs (led by Napoleon) manipulate the rules and oppress the other animals, eventually becoming indistinguishable from the humans they originally rebelled against. This satirical allegory criticizes the rise of totalitarianism and the corruption of power.
