<span>satire: the combination of humor and criticism to point out human follies
</span> <span>It's so effective because it takes whatever it is criticizing to a point that you have to laugh and proves the truth of the criticism. Effective satire has to be based on "truth" - the characteristics satirized have to be there, exaggerated but there.
Example: "You might be from Wisconsin if you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 38 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by."</span>

Explanation:
Hello cousin,
Something terrible happened to my family and I. My family and I were on a boat, having a good time together when a huge storm hit. Everybody was freaking out, I was so overwhelmed and shocked. I didn't know what would happen to us. There was a bunch of water in the boat, and everyone was soaked. After the storm calmed down we all made it back to the coast unhurt. I am so thankful that nobody was hurt, I hope you're doing well too. We had towels in the car so we all could get some water off. Afterwards, when we were coming back to the house, everybody was so shocked nobody talked. When we got home, nothing really happened. Thankfully everybody is okay, they are just a little scared. I don't think we are ever going to get on a boat again. Don't worry about us, please email me back as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Your cousin
(I hope this helps)
B - agenda
An agenda is what the author really wants to point out (their underlying message) and it's typically written in a way where it's somewhat hidden. Example: political ads - they have an agenda for what they want to talk about and why it's important.
