  Respond to questions below and type your responses in multiple paragraphs. Satirical Analysis: Where do see an example of irony, hyperbole, sarcasm, or humor in the novel? How is this ridiculing some aspect in our society, whether that be the abuse, corruption, or absurd practices (and shortcomings) of persons, institutions, or social structures? See sample analysis on 4.8 Themes and Satire in White Noise. Interpretative Question: In chapter 9, Murray Siskind, Jack’s colleague, runs into Jack and Babette in the supermarket and says “Here we don’t die, we shop” (38). Is DeLillo making an argument about the two being the same or do they have meanings that contrast one another? Explain.
