In “High School Students Demand War” the author states its use of the many satire as it pokes fun of the new generations lack of knowledge. “ If invading Florida or New Jersey so that students know where there are so be it.”; The author uses hyperbole to say that students only know the location of areas if a big event such as a war occurred there. The author also uses oxymoron when they put the two words Australia and Austria together to explain that most students wouldn't know the difference between the two. The last paragraph in the article says, “2,000 students were going to hold a march at the state capital, but forgot which state it was in”; this uses Irony because of the fact that the students didn't have the march because they couldn't get to the capital being that most people are aware of where the state capital is located.
