Entry 10, Chapter 5 - Comedians

     Without satire, the world would be an unpleasant place with moody people in dramatic situations. whenever I think of satire, I think of comedians. Comedians have a special talent of making quiet, awkward situations into situtions filled with laughter by just making a funny comment. Crowds will go wild in hysterical laughter when comedians like Jim Gaffigan, Larry the Cable Guy, or even Joan Rivers. Pilgrim relieves drama in his stories through satire; he might be describing a supposed rumor as to how someone died, but at the end of the passage he will make some comical remark to lessen the severity of the rumor.
