Voice of the Void: Narrators Satirical Spin
Writing the Satire
Narrators voice in satire twists – spin it sly. Target a tale: “I fixed all – broke more.” Hit the tone – smug, dry: “Life says win – I lose.” Keep it yours – bland flops. Write: “I say peace – war laughs.” Vonneguts quips inspire. Start yours: “I say yes – no rules.” Practice turns voice into venom.
Teaching the Technique
Teach voice jabs with a tone twist. Give “I win” – twist: “Won so big, I sank!” Show Vonnegut clips – smug, zing. Steps: tale, tone, jab. Assign “I flop” – spark: “Flop so grand, I soared!” Discuss zip: yours wins. Warn off flat – sly rules. Voice-off: pitch a spin, best venom wins. Voice is air – teach them to air it.
