Chapter 7: Parody

As I was reading chapter 7, I found myself rereading a couple of parodies. A parody is a work that makes fun of another work by irritating some aspect of its style. One of the parodies in this chapter is, "In my prison cell i sit, with my britches full of shit, and my balls are bouncing gently on the floor. And I see the bloody snag when she bit me in the bag." (155) This was to make fun of poems that are written and rhyming songs. It was a way to make a funny joke about things that have been written.
